Stupid Gun news of the day (Part 1)

The Safe Space Thread for the excuse-makers has been dormant for awhile. Maybe he and Loach have simply abandoned it.

I’ve stated that I could post daily updates where a bad guy demonstrated poor target identification skills among other bad life choices and wound up shot for his trouble, but that would just get monotonous.

ETA: And annoying for the readers who want to believe that guns are seldom used for self defense.

The NRA has announced it’s cutting benefits for its employees. I guess they’re having financial problems.

Russians cutting back their back-channeled donations?

Seems like it would do the NRA good to secretly fund a Democrat for President, so they can scare everyone that the President is gonna take our guns!!221@@!!

Free coffee and water coolers are no longer available to employees.

Thoughts and prayers, folks, thoughts and prayers.

People congregate around such places, making them ideal for a mass shooting. The NRA is just looking out for its employees.

I’m sure you think you could do that.

Do it. I’m not sure what you’re talking about but you say you can do it so why don’t you do it.

It’s OK that good guys often shoot good guys because bad guys sometimes shoot [pick one] {good,bad} guys? Is that the point or am I missing something?

And yes, we know guns are frequently used in self-defense. Zimmerman killed a blackie in self-defense. Cops defend themselves from cellphones and driver’s licenses. The homicide rate in Florida shot up when citizens were finally allowed to “stand their ground.”

Please do publish your “daily updates.” What will be the quantitative rules? If an infant kills himself accidentally, while a citizen protects the $75 in his wallet from a mugger, will that count as a wash? Perhaps a black life should count only 3/5 of a white life — that should help your stats.

Fine. I’ll put that on my to do list for next year. There’s too much stuff going on with holidays coming up for me to be online reliably the rest of this year.

I take it back. I’m NOT sure you think you could do it.

What if a toddler is defending his binkie from another toddler trying to take it away?

Would just brandishing the firearm be enough to count as a DGU, or should shots be fired?

39 alt-White thugs with too many guns could have been much stupider than it played out.

I would think that no shots fired would be the ideal outcome, for example from the other thread.

Man goes behind counter to assault female employee. Female coworker has CCW permit. (with video)

Only an idiot would claim that wasn’t a positive DGU.

Oh wait, an idiot did just that.

Unfortunately, the ideal is not the only possible outcome.

Not a very good example, I see no toddlers at all.

Heh, manson, he just called you an idiot. He must not know you very well, as I’ve called you much worse. :slight_smile:

I’m drinking tonight to try to remove the hurt his post has caused me.

And after all the times I was told “if you are threatened enough to pull a gun, you are threatened enough to use it”

Mind…blown!

You drink every night. Which is why you cannot understand that sometimes, when you pull a gun, it is time to use it, and that other times, you are supposed to let the person who assaulted you go.

It’s obvious how to tell the difference. Only an idiot like you would think that there is any sort of consistency in DGU’s. :wink:

You are so wrong, you don’t even know how wrong you are.

I DON’T drink every night. :slight_smile:

Well, yeah, sometimes, when you start your drinking in the afternoon, you are passed out by the evening. :stuck_out_tongue:
