McGruff proving, once again, that all cops are bastards.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

The clown claimed he was "cleaning his shotgun," while it was fucking loaded. I would give his dog a treat for making attempt to get rid of an idiot gun owner.

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good boy with a gun

[–] JustTheWind@lemmy.world 63 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Owner shot from behind by their own shotgun due to negligent firearm storage. Dog didn't shoot shit.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

That's just what somebody associated with BIG DOG would say.

The fucking dumbass, " I'm gonna clean my shotgun, but let me make sure it's loaded first "

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago

Once they get a taste for blood, they never stop.

Prequel to the critically acclaimed 'Hobo with a Shotgun' we present to you: 'Dog with a Shotgun'.

Looking at the news I would guess American houses are buit mostly out of loaded firerarms coddled together by zipties. And oversized fridges.

[–] Infinite@lemmy.zip 26 points 1 day ago

Similar words: coddled is treated carefully, cobbled is poorly constructed.

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago

And those fridges show ads now

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Hey! I will have you know, mine also involves copious amounts of knives, duct tape, and drywall joint compound.

Pretty dumb to keep a round chambered.

[–] phaedrus@piefed.world 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

My father, an NRA ~~member~~ sucker that claims gun safety first, leaves a 12g fully loaded (buckshot) with one in the chamber and safety off in a soft bag with the zipper open right under him while he sleeps. He also has Parkinsons.

You're giving these people way too much credit by presuming they do any form of critical thinking.

[–] J92@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

You mean its not clipped into a swivel bracket on the underside of the slats for when your new partner escapes having his brains blown out in a bathtub?!

How will we know whether he's surgical with that bitch, Jake?!

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 4 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

He also has Parkinsons.

You can't make this shit up lmao

[–] phaedrus@piefed.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Yea... that's the scariest, darkest part of it. He's also the guy standing next to you in the grocery store line proudly displaying his Glock on his hip. No idea how he carries that (i.e., chambered, hammer cocked, safety on? no clue). Imagine if something went down that actually warranted the use of the pistol while you're standing in line...

Number one rule of weapons safety, treat every weapon as if it were NERF.

I'm not American but even I know you need to keep your dogs secured in a dog safe when you're not using them. It's just basic dog safety

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago

This will be the most American thing I've read all 2025.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 123 points 2 days ago (9 children)

He forgot to buy a second gun to stop his dog from using his first gun against him.

I feel like if your dog shoots you thats your own damn fault.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 37 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Not in US. In US gun owners are never responsible for what happens with their guns. It can be the kid's fault, the dog's fault or even fault of the gun itself but it's never the gun owner's fault.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're right, I forgot about the Dick Cheney rule.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Remember kids, when you're a powerful politician and you shoot your friend in the face, remember to drag your friend and his family around on a PR campaign so they can apologize to you for the time you shot them.

Why was a loaded gun on the bed? That seems like terrible firearm safety.

[–] johnyreeferseed@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 16 hours ago

The dumbass was cleaning it with it loaded...

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Fun fact! 90% of gun owners treat firearms like this!

[–] Qwel@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

WHO DOWNVOTED THIS JESUS CHRIST

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 57 points 2 days ago (5 children)
