2nd sentence. You gave up too soon; just 3 more seconds and you would have solved it.

Seems people get guns and then look for an excuse to fire them. Kind of like a gun owner (rebel) without a cause.

BTW, anyone who posts pics of themselves with a firearm, needs to have a mental examination.
Oh boy... that means my little sister girlfriend mother and 5 of my girlfriends siblings need a mental evaluation.
You going to flip the bill for that?

All for either being at the range having a good time or while hunting?

I see you suffer from the projections.
I don't know anyone who owns firearms that goes out looking for a reason to fire them in a maliscious or irresponsible manner.
I think before your mental evaluation perhaps you should get to meet and spend time with a gun owner before you make feeble assumptions of them... you know... become educated and enlightened... rather than projecting and assumption...

They are completely different cases, and you know that.
Was her victim running away?

They need to add charges to this guy. Many serious charges go along with harming a minor.

A lot of people are totally ignorant of the laws applicable to self defense use of a firearm, the laws regulating purchasing them, etc. No reason the schools can't cover this.
Or, you know, the people who go buy a firearm can educate themselves. Personal responsibility and all that. We could even make passing a class a precondition for buying a firearm for self-defense.

Until then, "Stay away unless you're trained" works for cars, forklifts, chainsaws, electrical installations and chemicals, to name a few inanimate objects that can turn around and bite you and your surroundings if you're sloppy. Should work for firearms as well.

You are a troll of the worst kind. You scrutinize the boards to find the littlest of things to be offended by then you breathe your venom and vitriol upon any who get in your way.

You have no idea who I am. To infer otherwise shows how much of a troll you are. Welcome to my ignore list.
Calling someone a troll to cover up your own shortcomings says far more about you than it does about me. Calling a black teen looking for directions a “fleeing suspect” is the same sort of code as calling him a “thug”.

I'm actually surprised this thread didn't have more "feeling suspect" or "thug" type douche bags present.

I noticed a few of the regulars avoided this thread entirely though

As ugly of a stereotyping post as any stormfronter ever did.

I've made it 35 years since buying a gun without even pointing it at another person.

My parents are around the 60 year mark.

But hey! You have one example, and that's your reality.

The irony is that most of the gun violence is black (not due to pigment but past history leading to poverty etc.) and when the stormfronters start threads about that you likely rush in to decry the racism and stereotyping....but turn right around and do the same thing when the narrative fits better for you.

Oh and btw, the gal in that article is gay...so now we all get to call you anti-gay. Welcome to 2018.
I'll be sure to remind you of your anti LGBT views as often as possible. For shame.

Not sure in this case they'll get attempted murder to stick but we'll see.

They'll need to find out what the shotgun was loaded with and in what direction he shot the gun.

For those of you that have not fired a shotgun with birdshot etc. in it, it's kinda hard to miss completely at any medium or closer range. (Who knows though, maybe the old ahole was still drunk from last night)

These are just musings with regard to just HOW long Elmer Fudd here is going to go to jail. Oh, he's a moron and he's definitely going to jail....the details we don't have will determine for how long.
