Been hearing gun folks claiming that shooting 30-round semi-automatics is "just plain fun" -- and that's apparently a reason they shouldn't be banned.

ORLY?

I guess shooting guns is a cathartic, stress-releasing activity, like playing sports or hammering nails to build things.

I imagine that the Newtown killer was experiencing cathartic release, too...


On edit... Okay, I realize the people in the video are only firing pistols and shotguns, but the "fun" angle I heard in recent radio interviews about assault weapon bans just annoyed me.

Could he hit the side of a barn from the inside? Maybe after he heals up. To be safe, don't stand by the big double doors.

A lot of boneheads think it's funny to give new shooters (especially women) magnums to shoot without giving them proper instruction on stance or grip. The guy staring down the barrel was beyond idiotic, even an idiot wouldn't do that.

that in such a large group there are bound to be idiots and irresponsible individuals. Look at all the stupidity that people post on youtube with their cars, but you wouldn't say that it is representative of the american motorist would you?

These people in the video are irresponsible. All of them in some way violate gun safety rules.

And I think the fact fact that it was presented as comedy made it even more so. The dude who shot the brim of his hat nearly blew his own head off. That's fucked up.

Never mind all the other idiocy in this compilation, I literally said "Oh Jesus!" out loud during the clip showing a moron actually pointing the barrel of his gun AT himself. Another came close to pointing his gun up toward his head, as well. Darwin was lickin' his chops on those two.
Jebus Christ- what fuckin' morons (or morans).

I wondered about the ATF being one agency, but after seeing this snippet of evidence that soooo many have no clue as to why firearms and alcohol don't mix, I can see a purpose in the mixed missions of that agency. Obviously, there is a large population of individuals who don't get it as evidenced in this video. Not funny, almost sad... almost.

Sat Jan 19, 2013, 05:48 PM
Jan 2013

doing just like some of these idiots, assuming it was unloaded,
showing off my 410 shotgun to a friend, pointed it in air, and
pulled trigger, then ... came the most unexpected ...

******BLAM!!!!!!****** holy shit!!

Fortunately, the ceiling had knotty pine beams, one of which
swallowed the buckshot whole, without going through the
upstairs floor.

PS - my parents never found out, until we had already moved
out of that house, because I filled the hole with silly putty and
then smoothed it out with dark brown paint, so it looked like
just another one of the knots in the pine.

I did learn my lesson however; and now days I'm not into guns
at all.

Good God almighty, if these imbeciles are the "defenders of American democracy" I could singlehandedly conquer the United States with a .38 caliber revolver and a couple of speedloaders.
