OK that is exactly what we want. All we have to do is ban all the guns that were manufactured after the Second Amendment was passed.

The judge only riuled that way because of the _Bruen_ ruling. I wonder if the serial number ruling is deliberate, to draw attention to the SCOTUS ruling. “See what you did!”

Wait. Don’t tell me. Florida? Another Normal Rockwell-esque Father-Son story, but with .45 pistols?

Was DAD or the SON supposed to have played “good guy with a gun” in this one? I always forget.

A 73-year old man and his 15-year old SON?

I’m not sure how to feel about that.

The more you read of the story, the more the stupid burns.

OTOH, if they had better marksmanship and killed her, then it would be a great candidate for Positive gun stories.

And this is also why when people talk about the numbers of self defense uses, I have to question that number. How often does one claim to be engaging in self defence when it’s actually a case like this where they are just threatening an innocent person?

The only way to stop a good guy with a package is a good guy with a gun.

Developing story: CBP firearms instructor killed at shooting range. Possibly accidental, but no details have been released. Whatever the cause, it is sure to be Stupid Gun News.

Nobody was hurt, but one of the rounds went through the empty baby seat.

Not directly gun news but certainly stupid. Texas is offering to put kids’ DNA on file.

Presumably so they can identify the bodies after the next school shooting, although they won’t say that out loud. It’s easier to identify the bodies than to stop gun violence.

I’m sure that none of the conspiracy theorists who are afraid that the government is tracking them, have any concern about giving their kids’ DNA to the government.

What is this “accidentally”?
