2. So, those outnumber the "gun hero saves the day" stories by
how many hundreds to one? Of course, we see every one of the self defense stories posted somewhere.

7. We are watching this one closely
Accidentally shot himself in the chin THREE TIMES with a 45 yesterday . It would knock him silly , but he'd regain his composure and just kept squeezin em off .
And then he didnt fuckin' die ! They keep repeating on the local news that Sheriff's dept investigators are STILL trying to determine IF it was ACCIDENTAL or intentional .

http://www.newsherald.com/news/gun-91164-one-panama.html

Just another toolbag shooting his mouth off .

19. Wither way?
It's fascinating how some people yearn for more gun violence...oddly, they never are gun owners, just those who know nothing about them but want them banned.

28. and hunting is a serious cause of injury and death?
I thought it was accidents in the home? Not many gun owners hunt so how could less hunters be the cause?

14. Shoot yourself in the foot and sue
The video, he claims, damaged his reputation, was an invasion of his privacy, and is “highly offensive.”

A Drug Enforcement Administration agent who stars in a popular online video that shows him shooting himself in the foot during a weapons demonstration for Florida children is suing over the tape’s release, claiming that his career has been crippled and he’s become a laughingstock due to the embarrassing clip’s distribution.


I suppose it is damaging to your career as an "undercover" cop to have your face going viral on the Interwebs as you hobble around like Chester looking for Marshall Dillon.

16. Blaming everybody but himself
Recklessly mishandled the weapon while bragging what a "professional" he is and wants to blame somebody else for making him look like an idiot? Rofl at that one. It's a stroke of luck that no one else in the room got shot with that idiot fumbling around with that gun in there.

10. Precisely
The pro-authoritarian anti-gun crowd howls constantly that the police and military should be the only ones armed, so anything that happens with cops guns has fuck all to do with us "civilian" gun owners...

17. Did this one make the page too? Cops: Burglar shot dead by SE Side woman
Cops: Burglar shot dead by SE Side woman

A woman today shot and killed a man who Chicago police said was breaking into her South Chicago neighborhood home on the city's Southeast Side.
Police said the victim heard glass breaking at about 10 a.m. After grabbing her handgun, the woman confronted two intruders, but struck only one when she opened fire.

<snip>

The wounded intruder was pronounced dead a short time later at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Police said that the wounded man was holding a tire iron and that the victim wouldn’t face any criminal charges.
One neighbor's home was broken into three times just last summer, while an elderly neighbor's home was broken into twice while she was home, the victim said. The woman said her pleas to her local elected officials had gone unanswered.

<snip>

The scene of today’s shooting is several blocks from where an elderly woman shot and wounded one of two youngsters who were throwing bricks at her.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chibrknews-cops-burglar-shot-dead-by-se-side-woman-20110221,0,5547969.story


I like the trend of referring to the woman as "the victim", instead of the two low lifes that threatened her.

23. We need firearm safety education in every high school ...
and it should be mandatory.

I would like to see the course involve hands on training and actual time at a range.

Of course those who oppose firearms will fear that exposing high school children to firearms will cause them to want to own one when they get old enough. Of course, I have no problems with that.

32. Jesus, not every family is like yours. How about idiot parents who have guns in the house.....
send their kid to gun safety class OUTSIDE of the public school. My kids don't take drivers ed at school and that is more likely to kill them than a gun. I send them to drivers ed on the weekend.

25. I'd like to check it out - but I'm waiting for my CCW class to start
Any time now it's supposed to start, unless they cancel it, or it's full again.

Beside my daughter's copy of American Rifleman arrived yesterday and I want to read that first.

34. Yeah, they are shaking in their fucking boots over you, I'm sure
I'm sure Wayne has sent out a secret e-mail asking for ideas on how to cope with all the damage you're doing to the organization. They probably paid for it with some of the $360,000 the city of San Francisco had to pay them, or maybe it was their share of the $3.6 million for the DC Heller case. They're probably down to their last book of stamps. But at least they aren't guilty of mail fraud.

Why hell, you're probably why they are pulling back on all their pending lawsuits, because of your imaginary campaign - oh, wait, never mind. Heck since you started attacking them only three more states have gone from May Issue to Shall issue and only 1 has dropped all CCW permits completely and the 49th state is about to pass CCW. Keep up the good work, you've got 'em on the ropes.

Thank you for providing so much entertainment to gun owners in this forum.

And do keep us all posted on your CCW class and the personalities you and your NRA daughter meet there.

39. This dishonest crap again?
"I agree they have a lot of money from idiots (none here I am sure)who believe their 1st amendment shit and don't realize they are really there for the gun companies."

As I'm sure you've been reminded probably a hundred times, the gun companies have their own lobbying group, and its NOT the nra.

Its the NSSF.


Oh, look, I found one:

Repeating this untruth, as you seem so prone to do, will not make it true, no matter how many times you repeat it.
