I have a bunch of guns but I will never accidentally shoot an intruder. Why? Because mine are locked up in a safe unloaded with the ammo in boxes.

By the time I got the safe open, found the magazine, opened a box of ammo, loaded the magazine, put it in the gun and racked the first round I would have figured out it is not actually a stranger breaking in.

Guns are not the problem, American attitudes towards guns and violence are the problem.

Shoot first, ask questions later.

Could you imagine..... getting blown away for doing nothing more than going home? This 12 year old did nothing wrong, and for that, he's gone.....

My prayers are with that family.

Mine arent.....simply because i dont engage in unproductive, fictitious, ritualistic and delusional chanting (out loud nor to myself), to non-entities which cant alter the condition known as human stupidity. On the other hand...yup..kinda sad

It must be very lonely in your world.

Should we understand that you do engage in unproductive, fictitious, ritualistic and delusional chanting (out loud nor to myself), to non-entities which cant alter the condition known as human stupidity -- and it saves you from being lonely?

shooting at anything without first identifying what or who it is, is absolutely retarded

It certainly sounds like he did not exercise proper prudence.
No one can say that you don't have a firm grasp of the obvious :D.....err sometimes. Leaving guns accessible to teenagers is a problem. Unless you live in the country there is really no good reason to own a gun.

If someone likes guns, has the legal and financial means to acquire them and uses them responsibly; those are as good reasons as any.

In view of the actual results vs the ideal, I'm not impressed.
