I went through the comments, and I'm still lost. What is the punchline here? Is a long string of bad gun safety decisions by multiple people funny, or am I completely missing the joke?

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 11 points 12 hours ago

I know how to be safe, suggests unsafe thing.

That's not safe! Does even worse thing.

Pretty standard joke setup.

PoorlyDrawnLines comics are like that, they're silly and simple. I've seen better ones, this just happened to be recent

What I found slightly funny about this one was that 'shooting all the bullets out' is how it works in games if you want to make a weapon useless

Yes. "Stop! That's a bad idea" followed by an even worse idea. That's the twist.

Next comic: sprinting with scissors

Wait! Stop! That's dangerous.

Throw the scissors to your destination first. You don't want to be running with scissors.
