I think the takeaway here is that parental rights only apply to conservative parents, because any parents that don’t agree with right-wing radicalism are crazy and don’t deserve a say in how their children are educated. It’s right there in the article where he says “no parent in their right mind would oppose this. More Republican hypocrisy. ---

Of course not, making them suffer any kind of consequence would be a serious violation of their second amendment rights and the start of a slippery slope that leads directly to genocide. ---

According to the story, the bar patrons will get a hand stamp that prevents them from entering the gun range, and guns will be prohibited in the bar: shoot, drink & carouse (unarmed), go home. All kinds of precautions – locks are designed to keep honest people honest, but fail against the person who really want to get past them. Most customers will, as with any business, be honest, but all it takes to fugly things up is the one who is not. And, of course, the parking lot is DodgeCity. ---

A Pennsylvania man stole a gun from his friend’s widow, then used the gun to kill his dog and burn the dog’s remains in a firepit. Officers found Nikolay Lukyanchikov sitting on a couch on his front lawn, “incredibly intoxicated” with a .25 blood-alcohol level and unable to speak. He was setting fake $100 bills on fire with lighter fluid inside a metal fire pit. On top of the fire pit was a barbecue grate, on which Lukyanchikov had placed a small greyhound dog that had been badly burned. After the fire was extinguished, the officers determined the animal had been apparently shot in its eye. Lukyanchikov told his roommate he shot the dog to punish it for going upstairs. In a later interview with detectives, Lukyanchikov admitted to the shooting and chalked up his behavior to “having a bad day." > **[Bucks County man who shot and lit his dog on fire sentenced to up to 4 years...](https://www.mcall.com/news/pennsylvania/mc-nws-pa-dog-killing-20220323-fz4ef2ip7rcwjigklrdnqg2udq-story.html)** > > Nikolay Lukyanchikov, 50, told a judge Wednesday that he was "very sorry" for using a stolen gun to shoot and kill his dog. ---

Another mass shooting… this time in Sacramento. This time they actually list in the charges the exact words, “Possession of a Machine Gun”. After years of it being bandied back and forth about what is an assault weapon, this guy says “hold my beer” and uses an actual machine gun. I’m almost wondering what he decided to rip apart dozens of lives with: was it an old M3 ‘grease gun’, a WW2 surplus MP-40, a ‘Swedish-K’, or even a SAW? Are actual machine guns floating around us or was this stolen from some prop room or museum and modified back to full fire? > **[Sacramento shooting: 2nd man arrested on gun charge, as his brother appears...](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/newsirelandgeneralelection/second-arrest-made-in-downtown-sacramento-mass-shooting-police-say/vi-AAVSJbj)** > > The second suspect is the brother of the first man arrested Monday, according to authorities [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stupid-gun-news-of-the-day-part-2/958428.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/stupid-gun-news-of-the-day-part-2/958428.md?page=6)
