Someone who makes their own blank and whips it out at a wedding near a child simply to get folks attention is so fucking dumb he’d find a way to hurt himself with his dinner fork
The issue isn’t the tool, it’s the retard wielding it
Do you think he would have killed a child accidentally with a dinner fork?
The child didn’t die in this case, but yeah I think someone this dumb could easily have some similar damage with something more innocuous
That’s not really the point though…. Guy like this should never have passed certification process to get a gun if we had proper controls in place. Something that I always argue for but because I’m arguing for good testing and controls and limits rather than outright banning and forcible confiscation all the privileged folks that have never had to defend their families come out of the woodwork to shit in my face, every time
If you keep getting shit on, maybe stop acting like a toilet. Idk man every other country in the world figured it out, the US isn't as special as you're all taught it is. I'm all about sensible gun controls as well.
Copy pasted for I think the seventh time now
Yeah 100% if you want to own a class of gun (say a revolver) you should have to take a class on that specific type of gun and pass a written and practical test, and renew this regularly. Want a different type of gun? Better go take that class and pass that test.
Rabid anti gun folks are just as bad as the rabid pro gun folks, but the regular ass folks in the middle all seem to agree that strong controls on who can purchase the dangerous tool is the most reasonable solution
But this is lemmy, basically Reddit but more intense. I fully expect the folks here to be rabid anti gun without any rationale arguments for that stance
So he probably shouldn’t have a gun then…
This asshole? Definitely not
Someone who is living in a allegedly first world country who needs to carry a gun around is the issue.
Hey if you’ll pay to move my family to a safe neighborhood give you my gun
It can be both
