pfft this ridiculous shit - most gun owners are completely cautious and safe people - is disproven easily by reality.

https://www.jalopnik.com/a-gun-is-stolen-from-a-car-every-9-minutes-in-america-1851472717/

that's a single example of the idiocy. it gets dumber the further you research. Most, bwahahahah

Anon probably deserved it

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

He's lucky his wife didn't have a gun.

Both the "locks away guns, guns are always empty except on the shooting range or hunting, safety conscious" person and the "gets drunk every evening and sleeps with a loaded gun under their pillow" person are actually totally safe as long as they uphold the number one rule of gun safety: "The barrel of a gun may never be pointed at a person". Super hard to shoot someone unless you are Angelina Jolie or James McAvoy or one of those bullet ricochet superheroes. Of course it's a useless rule since it is simply stating the obvious. But that doesn't seem to stop people from repeating it.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago

You repeated it?

If the wife knows where he keeps the guns she could and probably would just as easily shoot him.

Aim center mass babe

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Hmm...

This is some combination of right-wing gun-toting and sexism. A very.... wonderful combination.

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 117 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Exceptions are rare enough that there’s only like one mass shooting a week!

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 75 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (25 children)

In 2022 or 2023 there was one mass shooting for every day of the year. Anon was simply in the wrong place.

Looks like they're on track for another great year of mass shootings!

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 week ago

90 mass shootings in 101 days! At least 11 days without one, way to go USA.

In any given year, more than half of all gun deaths are suicides, so really it should read...

Go back inside

Shoot self

most gun owners are safe and cautious

I know some of the most brain dead takes that my friends with guns do. Some gun owners are absolutely crazy when it comes to gun safety and storage.

[–] wookiepedia@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Another take, I am super on it with gun safety, but not storage. There are never minors allowed in my home, and a gun isn't useful unless you can get to it easily and it's ready to go. Only guns resting inside the safe are unloaded, all the guns that work for a living have loaded magazines and a round in the chamber (I don't own any 1911 pattern guns, if I did, they would not be chambered.) Also, no exposed trigger, everything is in a holster.

Fake. Anon doesn’t have a wife. That would involve talking to a woman.

[–] Sir_Premiumhengst@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

And gay, for he got impaled from behind.

[–] N0tTheBees@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago

Could just be a story about a man getting pegged by his wife

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Be British

Go to the United States

Don't Get Blown up in a Cybertruck

Don't Get Shot up in a mass shooting

Don't Get Robbed shirtless by a home invasion

Don't Get Scammed broke by a crypto-coin shill

Do find the one person in the entire country who insists on doing knife crime

Marry her

Get stabbed to death

Post about it on 4chan

So she was "standing her ground?"

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 15 points 1 week ago

Or stabbed by kids because wifi is down ....

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 week ago

See that is the problem.

All gun owners should be completely cautious and safe. That is why you background check them thoroughly.

[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The amount of guns mechanics find just casually sitting around in customers cars is appalling. They get stolen because people leave guns in their cars and used for crimes.
