  1. Just cannot feel sorry for this guy. I do feel for the people who witnessed this display of terminal nitwittery. They will definitely benefit from counseling. And once again I bet this story does not make it into any NRA-type periodical. As far as they are concerned, the truth will never win out.

    Tragic for all.

    There really are no words for this one.

    I often wonder if there is a special place in the afterlife for some of these folks. The real dumb ones. The ones who can’t wear sneakers with laces because they’re too complicated yet buy dangerous weapons to use as toys.

    Good Grief.

    Yes, definitely empty … a brainless, vacuum, emptiness.

    I have to agree with Lorraine …

    That is one ambiguous antecedent that my spousal unit can’t fault.

  6. Self-culling at its best. Can people be so dumb that instinct takes over and they take themselves out of the gene pool?

  7. Despite the national mythology that guns are a sacred right and that “all men are created equal,” a few seconds worth of actual pondering should produce the realization that (1) all people are created with the equal right to “human rights,” (2) they are not created with equal intellectual or physical attributes, and (3) making those with lesser intellectual gifts believe they must be heavily armed at all times should constitute a crime against humanity.

  8. Chalk up another one for Darwin.

  9. The article doesn’t mention alcohol or drug consumption, but with a bunch of friends in his apartment begging him to put that gun away, he shoots off several rounds…IN THE APARTMENT. Then he puts it up to his head to prove it’s empty. If this was all done while cold stone sober, his brain was indeed empty.

  10. Even if the head wasn’t empty before, it is now.

    So idiots with guns shoot them off if the people they’re with egg them on, AND if the people tell them to stop and put the gun away. They’re just determined to misuse their toys.

    Guns don”t make good hammers guns for the most part kill people intended or not save your money. Buy a p .””””.. Extender.

  14. I’m a little surprised the wound was fatal. I mean, the bullet didn’t seem to hit any essential organs.

  15. Here’s a related, equally uncool story:

    http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2014/08/04/3467130/theres-now-a-book-to-teach-your-kids-about-why-they-should-pack-heat-while-shopping/?elq

    Gobsmacked, or I would be, if I hadn’t become shockproof because of wingnuttery out of control.

    kewl book,Zyx. It gives thugs who conceal carry definitive targets to target. Might as well paint bullseyes on their backs.

  17. Normally I would not suggest a Darwin Award nomination for such as this because in the past year or so they have been inundated with non-suicide self-kills. BUUUUUUTTTT… This one has some tasty elements, to wit: “showing off”, empty chamber, empty head, death. Nominate away.

  18. Polite Kool Marxist says:

    Remember the Brady Bill? After (may he rest in peace) Jim Brady and Reagan were shot, nothing legislative happened.

    Then President Bill Clinton signed the Democratic legislation to ban assault weapons and require a waiting period to purchase handguns.

    Then a rethug NRA controlled Congress allowed the assault weapon ban to lapse. Now we have crazy militia armed with assault weapons, crazy children with access to their parents or grandparents weapons committing mass murder. GOP and NRA = tragic fail for children.

    New bumper sticker, Marge Wood. “Donuts” short for do-nuts nothing party of nuts.

    That book, I hope it ends up unsold and in the trash. All we need is a bunch of anyone over 18 toting a gun around in public places with others wanting to show off.
