    oh you were there?

    because the limited reporting on this incident doesn’t back up your premise. What we do know: he intentionally blocked in another vehicle with his own, took his firearm out and aimed it at the kid’s head. Where it miraculously fired ALL ON IT’S OWN uh huh.

    We don’t know what was said.

      We know what he said as the gun fired and how he reacted, based on the victims friends testimony. Its still awful, its just different awful. Like instead of just wondering why some psycho would shoot someone on sight, we should talk about how dangerous mistakes with a gun are, and how capable anyone is of making a fatal mistake.

      Shout out your four rules all you want, they don’t keep anyone safe in the way y’all think they do. They are a morality test so those with guns don’t have to feel guilty for putting their entire family in danger just to puff up their ego.

        you’re mixing up your replies. I’m prior service and want fewer weapons of war in the hands of civilians. I’m sick of the bang bang ra ra crowd, get fucked if you think I’m on their side.

        that said: you treat every weapon as if it’s loaded and never point it at anything you’re not ready to light up. that’s just common fucking sense.

          Sorry I meant that more as a generalization, its in these comments a ton.

          I agree with you except there is no such thing as common sense. Everyone has to learn every single thing they know, none of it was a given. I don’t like saying common sense gun handling because it implies its so obvious it doesnt need to be taught, and it also detracts from the real answer which is removing guns from the public.
