1. "It's not the weirdest thing to happen in a Walmart. It's honestly kind of expected,"

said one of the shoppers.

3. My favorite has always been the guy that shot himself

while filming a 'gun safety' video.

4. We have two Sheriff deputies stationed at the

county court house. You have to empty your pockets and go through a body scan. They wouldn't let me in with a 2" pen knife. So far the only gun discharged was from a deputy putting
his gun in his locker. The bullet went through the wall into the county auditors office, luckily no body was hurt.

5. There should be a law

against carrying a cocked double action semi auto with a round
in the chamber and the safety off.

When the firearm is "accidentally" fired and someone gets hurt,
then it should be jail time for the shooter.

7. That would infringe on the gun-crazies' Constitutional right

to be dangerous dickheads and morally bankrupt menaces to society.

I don’t know why they think those things are Constitutionally protected, but here we are.
