Having a firearm in your household exponentially increases the likelihood of someone getting hurt or killed with it.
I have lots of beer in my house, my chances of getting drunk are increased.

Yeah I just don’t understand it. It literally takes two seconds to lock up your firearm. Fucking irresponsible and lazy as hellmy2hands said:mcgruff10 said:

Another “legal” gun and “responsible” gun manufacturer, owner, buyer or seller that won’t suffer any consequences as another couple of families are left to pick up the pieces.

By California state law, the owners may actually be liable here. Regardless, the law didn’t stop the loss of life...so what would have? CA has some of the most strict gun laws in the United States...Halifax2TheMax said:Another “legal” gun and “responsible” gun manufacturer, owner, buyer or seller that won’t suffer any consequences as another couple of families are left to pick up the pieces.

“Firearms must be kept locked up when children may be present. The 2008 California Dangerous Weapons Control Law modified California Penal Code §12035 defining criminal storage of a firearm as keeping "any loaded firearm within any premises that are under his or her custody or control and he or she knows or reasonably should know that a child is likely to gain access to the firearm." A person may be charged with a crime, if he or she keeps a loaded firearm, and the child takes the firearm to a public place or causes injury.[68]”

Seriously trying to understand your stance...So you are against hunting or? How does this article have anything to do with “gun violence” in the context of this thread? Last time I checked, geese are not endangered, so where do you really stand on hunting? You post legitimate articles related to gun violence in reference to school shootings, mass shootings, accidental shootings, and then this random one of a hunter that was probably following all applicable laws and a freak occurrence? It somewhat undermines your credibility in the debate in general. People say that “no one wants all guns banned” and then you post something like this where a hunter was using a shotgun to shoot a goose and are happy he got hurt?Halifax2TheMax said:Score one for the goose.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I think it’s funny as hell! I just don’t think it makes any sense in relation to “gun violence”. Maybe it would be cool in a “America’s funniest” threadmace1229 said:I thought it was kind of funny. I don't think you have to be anti-gun to find that story amusing.
Just strikes me as odd that it was posted here...unless the underlying mentality behind the post is that they hate all guns and all hunters as some others have eluded to here.Post edited by PJPOWER on0 -

Jesus dude, who pissed in your corn flakes this morning. But I do love how you staunch pro-gunners immediately resort to "you hate all hunters and want all guns banned" in almost every response. Talk about a credibility gap. For the record, if it'll lower your blood pressure, I don't hate hunters and I don't want to see all guns banned. And, the story fits this thread title as I'm willing to bet that a goose getting blown out the sky by a shotgun in a state in America is pretty violent. And no, I'm not happy the hunter got hurt but I'm laughing that you're so butt hurt by my post.PJPOWER said:

I laughed that he got hurt.
Until I read further down and saw he was airlifted out, then I felt a little bad for laughing.
Still funny though.
It's fine to post a story like that, it adds humor to a thread like this.0 -
Is this the appropriate place to add in a “snowflake”? Sure seems to be, but I know there are rules for that sort of thing.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0

And you therefor approve of the ownership of shotguns and hunting rifles, dually noted. And here I thought you were against people owning guns. I guess I was wrong about you.Halifax2TheMax said:
To clarify, I approve of hunting for eating or rodent/pest/population control but not for "sport" or "trophy" hunting.PJPOWER said:
Just trying to understand your stance. Glad you are a supporter of hunting and owning hunting rifles and shotguns becauseHalifax2TheMax said:
Jesus dude, who pissed in your corn flakes this morning. But I do love how you staunch pro-gunners immediately resort to "you hate all hunters and want all guns banned" in almost every response. Talk about a credibility gap. For the record, if it'll lower your blood pressure, I don't hate hunters and I don't want to see all guns banned. And, the story fits this thread title as I'm willing to bet that a goose getting blown out the sky by a shotgun in a state in America is pretty violent. And no, I'm not happy the hunter got hurt but I'm laughing that you're so butt hurt by my post.PJPOWER said:
Seriously trying to understand your stance...So you are against hunting or? How does this article have anything to do with “gun violence” in the context of this thread? Last time I checked, geese are not endangered, so where do you really stand on hunting? You post legitimate articles related to gun violence in reference to school shootings, mass shootings, accidental shootings, and then this random one of a hunter that was probably following all applicable laws and a freak occurrence? It somewhat undermines your credibility in the debate in general. People say that “no one wants all guns banned” and then you post something like this where a hunter was using a shotgun to shoot a goose and are happy he got hurt?Halifax2TheMax said:Score one for the goose.
