You know this one is going in the positive gun news thread. This is the stuff they stroke their black metal penises over: “Another gym member who saw the initial exchange ran to his own vehicle in the parking lot, according to Underhill, grabbed a firearm and returned fire” Well, except for this part: " returned fire, while sustaining a gunshot wound of his own." Almost a perfect gun nut wet dream! ---

Again, I can see the right would view this as positive gun news of the day, particularly if it happened in good ole Murika. Only a good guy with a gun can fight for the freedom to go maskless. Stop trying to steal our liberties! ---

They don’t say what the gift was, so it may have been justified.

Just a bit south of me in college town Pullman, WA, a guy at a party pulls out a gun and starts spraying bullets because he was “jumped”. Shoots and kills his roommate and wounds another. There are a lot of oddities in this story including the police allowing the shooter to leave. Back when I was in college, we didn’t take guns to parties (not that many of us even had them - I didn’t know of anyone that had a pistol - some had rifles and shotguns for hunting). > **[Pullman shooting suspect claims self-defense; victim reportedly his roommate](https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2021/sep/27/pullman-shooting-suspect-claims-self-defense-victi/)** > > PULLMAN – A 23-year-old suspect in the deadly weekend shooting near the Washington State University campus said he was “jumped” at a party early Saturday morning and fired his handgun in self -defense.
