    The victim told police that before the incident, he was cleaning his firearm

    getting shot by own gun and cleaning it, these often come together, maybe is safer to keep them dirty

      If you get shot cleaning your gun you have MAJORLY fucked up.

      Like, you have to try to be that level of stupid and it still happens. People are just incredibly dumb it would seem. I mean, I know we must have a ton of morons in this country in order for Trump to get elected because … Everything.

      Nobody is ever actually shot while “cleaning” their gun. Unloading it is step 1 in this procedure for basically every firearm ever made, and that assessment stretches back several hundred years by now.

      This is just a culturally ingrained lame excuse people pathologically fall back on thinking they’re going to save face over capping their own damn selves with an easily avoidable negligent discharge. And everyone who tries it inevitably thinks they’re the first person to think of it, because they’re stupid.

      Somehow he was cleaning it and it still had rounds to fire or he cleaned and reloaded and left it unsecured so it had rounds to fire. Sounds like sort of person who should own a gun for sure.

        Not unless you’re really dumb, people accidentally shoot themselves with “unloaded” guns all the time.

    The clown claimed he was “cleaning his shotgun,” while it was fucking loaded. I would give his dog a treat for making attempt to get rid of an idiot gun owner.

      The dogs are rising up in a very calculated slow burn plan!

      Well it’s either that, or come to the realization that guns are dangerous, and should always be treated with care. Always respect the lethal nature they can inflict if mishandled. And admit that casually storing them on your bed is really not a good move.

      Guns don’t kill people.

      Idiots with guns kill people by accident.

        Dogs are angry about all the selective breeding we’ve been doing for centuries, digressing further away from the wolf.

        That was heart wrenching to watch. I remember the first time we watched this… The whole family ended up crying their eyeballs out 🥹

    Too dumb to live. What idiot leaves a gun ready to fire, probably with safety off, unsupervised?
