Lol...well...yea. That sideways thing..wonder who invented that? We did a fun experiment, one day at a steel match. We had a "gangsta" stage, after formal competition was over. Like a standard El President' e course. Three B277s at 10 yards, two rounds , each target, reload, two more. Done. No individual scoring, just looking for an aggregate number of hits.

Six of us gave it a whirl, the lowest ranked shooter of all of us was an A class. All accomplished competitors. Lmao, when w were done, we counted three hits, all on one target, that were eben worth calling hits. That's 108 rounds, three hits, at ten yards. So, we need to encourage that "gangsta" hold with the bad guys. Hey! It REALLY COOL HOMEY!! That's how "cool" criminals do it. And for the REALLY cool ones..upside down and backwards is the way to go.

What's your point?

We lose 100 DEAD to pet dogs and dozens DEAD to bees.

Not to mention the dozen or so we lose DEAD to horses.

Basically, for someone whining about how many guns are in America...and then posting that statistic....it's hillarious that you think you are influencing anybody.

In fact, I think you might be an NRA shill.

I mean, gee...it's not their fault. Who keeps their computer in the kitchen right?

(I hope my tongue in cheek response helps you see the gender hatred in your response.)

Lottery = 1:179,000,000

Shoot your penis off = 320,000,000 Americans (roughly). 1/2 have penises = 160,000,000. 5 have done it over the past five years. The odds are 1:160,000,000.

1) Treat every firearm as if it was loaded.
2) Buy a holster.
3) Buy a handgun with proven safety features. I prefer the 1911 style handgun since it has a backstrap safety.
Nice start with the stats. Now narrow it down to male GUN OWNERS and go from there.

You have a zero percent chance of winning powerball if you don't play. The figure you quote is for people who play.

The conclusion: male gun owners have a bigger chance of shooting off their penis with a firearm than they do winning powerball.

Mmm. Hmmm...By that same logic, a male anti firearms type has a far greater chance of being beaten and forced to watch as his lady is raped before his eyes, before getting shot in the back of the head than someone who has a weapon for defense. Speaking of stats, five people out of how many, NDed a weapon into their genitals? It must have took some doing to separate that specific thing from all firearms accidents. Someone has WAY too much time on their hands.

In contrast, I wonder how many burned their nethers with hot drinks? Or had to visit the ER because something got stuck up inside them during kinky sex? Lmao...I bet that latter number would pass up genital wounding by firearm right off the gate.

Their pants probably weren't low enough, they're supposed to show at least some buttock. Also, did they limp-wrist the gun and hold it above their shoulder pointing down like gangstas do? Proper form makes for a smooth 7/11 heist.

Well heck yea . The rules were "gotsta be COOL!" LOL We tried to get the whole feel of gangsta cool. Couldn't do the pants thing, but we did require all shooters to turn their hats sideways, and, he's, weapon sideways, above the shoulder and pointed down.

We laughed so hard. Spectators liked it to. If we had had some themed music, coulda gone viral with it all.
