Another board member flees the NRA.
Who could have imagined that a bunch of racist shills for the gun industry would also be self-dealing frauds?
One, refreshingly, not from the US:
If only French law had permitted the waiter the means to defend himself …
But we have no reason assume a nationality for the gunman.
Wichita police arrest 14-year-old for pointing gun at girls outside school
Because that’s the best way to win an argument.
You forgot to mention ethinicity along with the gun nut’s and anti-liberal’s nonsensical quoting of a statistic featuring the number 13.
We saw what happens when you bring a biting tongue and dismissive tone to a gunfight.
Woman sees a gun on her cousin’s hip, and pulls it out, asking it if is a toy or real, and confirms herself by shooting her husband in the head, fatally wounding him.
She is being charged with a misdemeanor. And of course, the cousin is not held to any account whatsoever, it didn’t say in the article, but I assume he gets his gun back, which actually puts this into “Positive Gun News” territory.
I don’t know. You better run that by the holy arbitrators of what is or isn’t “Positive Gun News”
I dunno. This strikes me more as ‘I see an opportunity to kill my husband and escape a murder charge by pretending to be a moron.’
And she should have went with ‘I thought it was a toy’ rather than ‘I wanted to see if was real or a toy’.
I’m not sure that they even know anymore.
And that was my first thought too. I don’t know whether it was really an accident or not, but that does set an interesting precedent that you can openly kill someone and only get charged with a first degree misdemeanor if you use a gun.
Hard to claim it was an accident when it is a knife.
Not if you employ the same logic. You can only know if it’s a* real* knife if you stab someone.
Knives don’t kill people. People kill people.
I am having trouble parsing “a handgun holstered in the waistband of a cousin.” You can’t holdster a gun in a waistband. Was the gun in a waistband, or in a holster? Not really the point of the post but if the cousin had the gun tucked into his waistband, it looks like idiocy runs in the family.
I’ve undoubtedly shared this before, but one of my fond D&D memories from college is when a couple of party members were having a spat (treasure division and who should get the magic item IIRC), and one rolled a critical hit with her sling against the other.
“It was an accident” she said. “I was cleaning my sling, and it went off.”
Not right away. If she is being charged with a bad mistake, the gun will be evidence, so the police will put it into their gunjail, probably in solitary, the poor thing.
Well, there are waistband gun holsters. Like the Kydex ones that clip onto your waistband and sit inside your pants.
Under Oregon’s red flag law, the FBI took a guy’s guns away and put him in twenty days involuntary mental health evaluation after he threatened to shoot up antifa protesters.
Feels like this should be in the Positive Gun News thread - those guys are in favor of crazy folks not having guns, right?
This reminds me of an argument I saw about the red flag laws. It was that if you take the guns, they have to be locked up somewhere and you would have to hire someone (a big hardship, of course) to take care of them so they wouldn’t rust. A gun could gasp die! Won’t someone think of the guns?
