Gun nuts failing basic gun safety. Name a more iconic duo

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 31 points 4 months ago

Gun nuts and blowing their nuts off aiming at their nuts?

Fascists and very young children.

During an interview with Dusty, she stated her husband of 10 years was in the shower, and she grabbed his handgun and began singing “Click, click, boom,” which is a song she sings with her husband.

Dusty told deputies her husband turned the shower off and was in the process of drying himself with a towel when she pointed the weapon, which she thought was unloaded, at her husband and pulled the trigger once, hitting him.

Similar story from earlier this year except at home.

My dad might be a pos but he drilled into me at an early age that guns are NOT toys and to have a healthy respect for them. So reading something like this, 2 adults just playing with a hot gun like it's a toy is wild.

The mainstream conservative ethos is guns are toys and you should play with them and pose with them all the time

What the hell

Are we sure this isn't a cover story for her killing him intentionally?

[–] WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 7 points 4 months ago

No way to know for sure. His ex seems to think it was intentional. But I can also just see people being that reckless, especially if they've been drinking a lot.

All guns are loaded.

Even the ones that aren't.

If you clear the chamber, sorry no, a new round teleported in. If you point the barrel at something, you'd better be prepared to live with having blasted a gruesome hole in it.

[–] Posadas@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

All firearms chambers contain a quantum ammo wave function meaning a firearm with no magazine that was just checked still contains a probable round.

The only way to safely collapse this function is using something like a chamber flag, or disassembling the firearm.

[–] Kefla@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

I've always figured the ammo fairies can't reload my gun if it hasn't left my hands. This perspective is kind of necessary if you want to do dry fire practice at home or, like, disassemble your Glock without first pointing it at a sandbag.

I always verify when I pick it up, but there's no need to keep verifying.

(Of course you still don't point it at people, that's just a matter of principle)

Almost every day I get haunted by the time I was really angry with my brother and pointed a riffle at his face (I knew it was unloaded) and he started to freak out more and more until I pulled the trigger.

It was unloaded, but what if it wasn't.
