Subject: Accidental Shooting Archive Posted by: GO - [120252515] Wed, May 15, 2013, 09:35 just want one place to keep track of these... Gun activists designated last Saturday “Gun Appreciation Day” in an attempt to highlight their opposition to gun safety laws. The PR stunt proved to be more of an embarrassment, however, when 5 people were shot at 3 different gun shows on Gun Appreciation Day. On Friday afternoon, an Iowa gun dealer closed out the week by becoming the sixth person shot at a gun show. The man claims he was “showing off a .25 caliber pistol he thought was unloaded when he slid the action of the gun.” The gun was not unloaded, and a bullet went through his left palm. link | |||||||

| 257 | gurudan ID: 206112913 Thu, Jan 22, 2015, 12:09 | I've lived in NC for 3 years, and people are always getting accidently shot. two weeks ago my neighbor, a deputy sheriff who has lived in this neighborhood for 15 days, had 2 rounds come thru his wall and lodge in the dining room wall while his wife was in that room.two teenagers were apprehended and stated that "they didn't know houses had been built there." no charges were filed and they paid the damages.i'm 65 years old and own 8 guns. I've never in my life needed one to protect myself. but, I know of 20 times when I needed someone else not to have one. those were the occasions when someone I knew was shot and killed by one. | ||||||
| 258 | GO ID: 344132921 Thu, Jan 22, 2015, 15:44 | gurudan... I think that about sums it up - the likelihood someone actually needs to protect themselves is pretty small and is outweighed by all these needless accidents. Its just not worth it. I don't know how to solve it though, cause I don't think most people have a problem with responsible owners having hunting rifles or a handgun (just no automatic weapons), but there will always be accidents no matter how safe you try to be. | ||||||

Reserving this space for the inevitable accidential shooting coming soon to St. Petersburg, FL. Moms and dads are extremely upset after their 21-year-old neighbor, Joseph Carannate, told them he built a homemade gun range.This is what happens when you have an insanely rabid gun culture that inspires such ridiculous things as state laws that prohibit local governments from restricting gun rights in any way. | ||||||

Local issue right? Scared to go to Florida now? Try living there. Is it any better in Orlando? If not, guess I wont be going to Disneyland soon. Why cant I just live in a safe suburb with like minded people without being accused of being some ungodly monster by someone who hasn't figured it all out yet? How did we run out of money to institutionalize the nutjobs? | ||||||

Perhaps we should all invest in gun manufacturing stock to hedge against the impending apocalypse. Any wonder some cops are getting nervous, any wonder why some cities are increasing the armament of their police forces so they aren't overwhelmed by angry citizens? How about bombs, got any stats on bombs? How do we disarm the citizenry without inciting them? I'm as concerned about those 3 year olds, as I am the adults that act like 3 year olds, they aren't afraid to shoot. And what about those nut jobs? We need to institutionalize the nutjobs, anyone got a good way to profile them? Its all enough to make you want to stay in your home, and not go house to house for Haloween. Thank god for cable, video games and the internet. Play 60. F*** it I'm moving to the country and getting away from all you nutjobs....can i get internet there? hehehe So, I was in Vegas this weekend, some people started talking about how polite Austrailians, Brits and Canadiens are. I told them its not that those guys are polite, its that we are such a$$holes. We are all supposed to act like that...is it the music? | ||||||

Woman killed by her own booby trap. Michigan woman was trying to adjust her bra holster when she shot herself in the face, authorities said. Christina Bond, 55, was repositioning the handgun inside her brassiere when she looked down and fired a round into her eye, the Kalamazoo Gazette reported Wednesday. "She was having trouble adjusting her bra holster, couldn't get it to fit the way she wanted it to," said St. Joseph Public Safety Director Mark Clapp. "She was looking down at it and accidentally discharged the weapon," he said. | ||||||

Family of 5 murdered in a knife attack. Its not about guns. It never was. Its about human beings. Vilifying guns takes the spotlight off the real problem - people. With that said Sarge has outlined in other threads what he thinks are reasonable measures for gun controls. From what I remember, I happen to agree with all of them. But that doesn't mean these kinds of events will go away. | ||||||
| 299 | Tree ID: 161036918 Sat, Aug 08, 2015, 10:06 |
of course they won't go away. but they will be reduced. there is a significantly lower chance of mass killings with knives, as opposed to guns. and this is an exceptional case - this is two brothers killing their parents and siblings. while not unique, it's definitely in the outlier realm. | ||||||
| 300 | Khahan ID: 34255168 Sat, Aug 08, 2015, 18:34 | You don't get dismiss it as an outlier. They are ALL outliers to normal human behavior. Mass killings are abnormal behavior. We would be better served focusing energy, time, effort and other resources on the cause of the problem rather than how the problem is carried out. | ||||||
| 301 | Boldwin ID: 49572022 Sun, Aug 09, 2015, 16:04 |
 Dismiss the outliers [or the gun control] and everything's fine. | ||||||

hey, look, another lie by our resident Christian. i wonder how your messiah feels about your perpetual dishonesty, and your lack of interest in the truth. the above meme is so easily debunked (beginning with the US being third in murders), that i can't believe any idiot would actually post it and believe it. | ||||||

| 304 | Tree ID: 161036918 Tue, Aug 11, 2015, 10:08 |
exactly. do some work, and quit posting lies. then again, it's probably quit presumptuous to expect you to be honest, or do research, or god forbid, do both. | ||||||
