Stupid Gun news of the day (Part 1)

The flaw in him was the hole that he created.

Well, that thing that’s supposed to be nigh impossible has happened again: a gun fell to the floor and mysteriously discharged. In this case, a rifle leaning up against a wall fell over, went off, and shot the owner through both heels. Luckily, no one other than the responsible gun owner was harmed.

People kill people.

Late night arts festival in Trenton NJ turns into a shooting gallery. Twenty two injured, no fatalities reported. One suspect is dead, one is in custody.

It appears that a dispute among several people escalated until the guns came out. Because an armed society is a polite society. Not right away, of course. But eventually, when all the bad guys are dead, our society will be so polite you won’t believe it.

Tell us again who the bad guys are, and how to tell.

The bad guys are the ones that end up dead.

You can tell, because they can’t.

Hat color.

The Good Guys post here about Defensive Gun Uses.

There are a billion guns in the world, half of them in the US.

How many more do we need before we’re safe?

I don’t think we should stop until all 1 billion are here in the good ol’ USA. THAT will make us safe!

A man with a gun tattooed on his forehead was arrested for unlawful carrying of a firearm

More like Stupid Tattoo News. Seriously, people, don’t tattoo things on your forehead.

That guy was also driving under a suspended license. Not sure why we require licenses to drive, since criminals will just ignore that law.

And if we sent police to enforce that law, those drivers plan to just run them over in the cause of Defending Our Freedom Against Tyranny.

The NRA recently took down its past history of politician ratings:

Silly people; haven’t you heard that it’s not that easy to make something disappear from the Internet?

Sorry, guys; looks like you haven’t been able to cut off your enemies’, ahem, ammunition.

Child finds gun in a sofa at an Ikea store, fires one shot

I’m in eastern Europe at the moment. I was speaking with two Romanian men touring by motorcycle. One of them was a border guard. I add them if they wanted to tour the US and they said no, there are too many guns.

Put a man on the moon, invent the Internet, and be the birthplace of Rock and Roll, but let several hundred school children be killed st school and that’s all you are known for.

Shouldn’t this be in the “positive gun news” thread?

Kid finds free gun at IKEA. Gets to test it out.

I assume that in the 8 hour training class that people are supposed to take before they can walk around public with a gun, they don’t actually teach anything about ensuring that your gun actually stays on you. They should really add that tidbit of advice to the students they pump through the CCW classes these days. Especially if you are going to utterly ignore the “no weapons” policy that the private property owner has requested of citizens wishing to come into the premises.

I get the people that refuse to enter a store that has a “no guns” sign, as they are unable to function without their fetish, but to ignore the desires of the private property owners upon which they are imposiung shows a certain mindset that rules just don’t apply to them, because they have a gun.

A black, Muslim, lesbian, atheist terrorist might take over the store while they are there, and then what? You expect them NOT to carry a gun to be prepared for that likely event?

That’s why I just don’t go to IKEA, especially not on Thursdays.

But, seriously, you have a problem with gun free zones, then that’s fine, don’t go into them, if you think that it makes you unsafe. Don’t just refuse to recognize the private property owner’s rights though, and bring your gun into the gun free zone. That makes you the criminal. That makes you the danger to the public.
