Am I the only one surprised it wasn't more than 2 years? It's amazing how many people say they'll be a responsible gun owner, but then aren't. Neither of my gun owning friends have any of their guns locked up or even behind locked doors.

Acquaintance of mine I was in his basement smoking weed from his home made gravity bong and right on the table was a gun. Loaded. And his toddler running around. He even picked it up and started waving it around showing it off to another friend and I had to make a scene telling him to either shoot me now or put the goddamn thing away.

We live in the safest fucking town in the world. Nobody is breaking into shit here so idk what the fuck he needs a gun. Needless to say I didn't go back and yeah he looks exactly as you think: fat tall beard hat cheap Oakley's truck.

Same, none of my gun owning friends have theirs in a safe. They'll just have it sitting out in some room and then be like "well there shouldn't be any kids or irresponsible people in this room so it will be fine"

Hehehe. And Boss Baby was voiced by Alec Baldwin. Who shot a dude on the set of a movie, resulting in his death.

Oh man, that's hilariously bleak.
