Fucking seriously. Guns have safeties for a reason.
People in this thread are saying guns are the problem. It's fucking idiots with guns who are the problem.
you got it half right, why was the gun loaded?
The safety is not selling guns to anyone. That way you are sure there are no untrained idiots with guns.
Also no other idiots with guns.
Turns out a lot less damage is done to society if people can't buy guns.
Yeah ... but looking at my current government, I really don't want the government to be the only ones who have guns.
You guys use this argument constantly, but keep accepting a more and more absurd status quo. Will there ever be an "enough is enough" moment? It's looking unlikely from across the pond
Noone of them is going to use a gun against the government ...
As is often the case.
That Venn diagram is just one circle.
You think there's no such thing as a smart person who has a gun?
You think there's no such thing as an idiot who doesn't have a gun?
My observations of gun owners is one thing in common: paranoid and scared.
It can be more than one thing. Both of those can be true
