Fun With Guns: Things That Make Me Bang My Head Against The Wall Edition
.
And next we’ll let the toddlers clean the chain saw.
While doing a little spring cleaning a father in Albuquerque enlisted the help of his daughters.
The father handed the .22-caliber rifle to his 6-year-old daughter to take to another room, but she playfully pointed it at her older sister and pulled the trigger, county sheriff’s officials reported. The family drove her to an urgent care facility, where she was initially listed in critical condition.
Charges will not be filed because the father “suffers from incredible guilt.” Â Personally, I think he should suffer from incredible pain.
Gotta love the irony of wanting to restrict gun owners at the NRA convention. It’s even better than the Alanis Morisette irony.
1Would it be reckless to speculate that the “father” was not a member of a minority race?
2Safety? At a gun show?

Somebody is hiding something from someone. This account says there were three girls,one dropped the gun and it went off accidentally. Could Dad be trying to frame his 6 year old daughter?
4Dick Cheney has never shown any remorse for his crimes. Why hasn’t he been arrested?
5I’m all for loaded guns at a gun show. The more these fools kill each other off, the safer the rest of us will be.
I’d love to tattoo a slightly edited version of that on any gun buyer’s hand: “A safe environment can only be maintained if there are no loaded guns.”
6Dick Cheney has never shown any remorse for his crimes. Why hasn’t he been charged?
7Why oh why aren’t kids in such situations ever taken from the brain deprived parents?????

9It sounds like a defense similar to “affluenza” – where the perp’s “really feeling bad about this” is a defense to criminal negligence.
It doesn’t work for carelessly operating a motor vehicle, or for anything else other than carelessly handling a firearm. This needs to change.
10Sounds like the “dropped gun that went off” story is the father’s attempt to appear less guilty. Next up…the gun leaped out of his daughter’s hand and just fired itself.
11Reckless endangerment and criminal neglect are two charges which should be leveled at Father of the Year.
12Why was it loaded, the safety off and not locked away to protect innocent children? See above.
13In my fondest dreams, I’d like to see 5,000 black women, all with concealed carry permits and all packing, show up at one of those NRA gun shows. Let them all walk in as a group. I’ll bet that would be the very last NRA-sponsored gun show on this continent.
14So they won’t prosecute for “incredible guilt.” How about “incredible stupid”?
15If incredibly stoopid was a crime,wingnuts would have no representation outside of the looney bins.
16Pete, I love your suggestion!!
17Sorry Pete,but the 2nd Amendment does not contain the words armed Black men or women so they ain’t allowed to have guns. The 2nd was written exclusively for whitey wingnuts and each is assigned a caliber that matches his ir her IQ. Or in the case of some women-their bust size.
18The “unloaded gun”, a species that has never been observed in the wild.
19I love Pete’s suggestion too. I loved this Sylvia cartoon years ago…
Man: I got a right to carry a gun. It’s in the Second Amendment.
Woman: You’re right. I think more women should pack heat. (at his sour expression) Cat got your tongue?
20Pete, I would love to see that too. BTW, you all see Jeb Shrub’s little spiel at the NRA convention as he bragged about passing the “Stand Your Ground’ law in Floriduh… Now the battle is on here to keep guns out of college campuses, and out of schools..AGAIN… Did I mention I hate living here, but we can’t find anyone dumb enough to buy our house (partly thanks to Baldo or Skeletor and to the Shrub).
