Great, another article with a misleading headline, and when you read the article the crucial bit is in the last line, where its mentioned its likely an accidental discharge.

Seems like other news sources are mentioning this more explicitly.

Still shouldnt be waving guns around, or have them at all IMO, but thats no excuse for the poor framing of the article by the author.

Edit: I get it, we call them negligent discharges now. Doesnt change my point. This is not a random fit of murderous rage, its a mishandled firearm.

Can't talk about how dangerous guns are though right.

Isn't like one of the basic rules of gin ownership that you only point a gun at someone you are going to kill?

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

It's a rule of firearm safety. Unfortunately, in the US you don't need to follow those or many rules for ownership.

4 rules of firearm safety:

1-treat every firearm as if it's loaded

2-don't point your firearm at anything you don't intend to destroy

3-keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire

4-know your target, backstop, and beyond

Bonus 5- don't do anything stupid

The victims said it. Like I said, still wrong, but different wrong. Nuance is dead to you people.

Oh and my favorite part is where pointing out details means I'm defending someone else.

The guy should go to prison for it. Does that make you happy?
