Yet another responsible cop with a Glock?

I do take issue with the 'fails' that are people handed guns they can't handle by assholes that then film them with the explicit purpose of seeing them get their asses kicked by recoil.

(Also, one of them is a lab test, there's a 20 minute version of it where the rifle kicked the ass of every single person who tried it)

Those incidents are still indicative of asshole gunners; what kind of person does that to another person? Several of those incidents reflect situations where someone actually got hurt and many of them result in very unsafe circumstances.

I'll give you the medical experiments as contrived.

And that person is likely the gun-owner.


Rest assured this bullshit never happens when I am range master.
Nor will I go within a country mile of a person who associates firearms, and drinking. An all too common combination.

shouldn't be allowed to own guns, but the same applies to cars, motorcycles, ATVs and jet-skis.

Damned if I know a reasonable way to single them out, other than letting them cull themselves from the herd.

In a room like that, the mic on the shitty camera probably should have been able to capture the sound without distortion, and the flash looks like adobe aftereffects.

The earlier kid/filming self one is certainly a fake. But this one might be too.

These brave patriots will protect us from the invading hordes as they stand resolute, gun in hand, ready to protect us all from enslavement, conquest, even death.

The Founders wrote the 2nd Amendment with these very citizens in mind!

Have some respect for the Constitution please!

For stupidity.
And video evidence of 6 of them having poor skills in selecting friends.
3 examples of lessons urging better attention to details being meted out by impact instruction.
And 3 overcome by circumstances.

Nice eclectic mix of firearm stupid.

There was a time when people were generally more interested in safety and learning the proper way to use it. Now its more to make them feel tough.

guns for hunting, IIRC the dove hunting season in particular. But they never had them lying around. They were always properly stored and nobody went around yammering about the 2nd A. Not even my beloved Uncle Tim, who was a local judge and former state Senator. We just never talked about it.
