    More idiots with guns. He was officiating a wedding and thought he'd get people's attention by shooting his gun off. It was supposed to be loaded with a homemade blank, but apparently, he made it wrong and fired a projectile that hit his 12 year old grandson.

    The kid is in the hospital and expected to live, but seriously, there are just too many stupid people guns in the country. Can't imagine pulling a gun out a wedding ... surprised people didn't shoot back at him.

    Yes, unfortunately there are plenty of dumazzes with guns. Point made.

    Even actors on movie sets make these dumbazz mistakes... mistakes that kill people.

    I'd like to thank the board tree huggers, liberals and gun control freaks for keeping us up to date on all the local news from places like Nebraska, Iowa, New Hampshire, California and other places.

    So how do you keep the guns out of the hands of dumbasses, or is that simply the price we pay for the 2nd amendment?

    My reasonable solution? 2nd amendment at home only with gun locks and ammo restrictions.

    Preacher needs jail time.

    When I Google'd "accidental shooting" Florida was an instant autofill. Here ya go, from a person who is not a gun control freak:

    Then there's the 11 time convicted felon who, shockingly, is drunk at his son's pop warner football game and goes to his vehicle to retrieve a gun because some other parents are talking smack about his son.

    Florida man flashes gun at son's Pop Warner football game after parents begin trash talking his son (msn.com)

    All of this reminds me of the father in the show "Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" when he decides to start tutoring (in math) to earn a living. His wife asks him who he is going to tutor and he replies "Morons! New York City is full of 'em!"

    Naw I'm not really interested in every gun accident from across the country. Unless of course they occur because of some stupid liberal actor on a movie set....then bring it on.

    Add the Rust shooting incident to the list of things you don't know about and/or understand.
