Man accidentally shot child while officiating wedding near Lincoln, deputy says - Lemmy.world
A Texas man accidentally shot a child while officiating a wedding in Lancaster
County on Saturday, the sheriff’s office says. Chief Deputy Ben Houchin said
deputies were sent to a wedding at Hillside Events near Denton on a report of a
gunshot wound. Deputies learned that 62-year-old Michael Gardner, the wedding’s
officiant, fired a gun to get everyone’s attention. “He was going to fire in the
air, and as he did that, it slipped and went off,” Houchin said. The gun was
loaded with a blank that Gardner made with gunpowder and glue.
“buh guns not the the problem!1!”
They truly aren’t, this is straight up lack of brain cells that’s the issue here
So we need to control who gets guns then, right? Some kind of control?
You’d think the “don’t ban guns” people would be all for registration and background checks. After all, guns aren’t the problem, people are.
I’m all for background checks, even mandatory safety classes, it’s the random banning of features that gets me. Banning firearms because they have a pistol grip or more than 10 round magazines makes no sense. The problem is most people who think like this get lumped in with the crazies.
The right was given when guns were muskets. I have no issue following the forefathers intended right. You may have all the muskets you want but if it’s not needed for hunting or defending your home from an intruder then you shouldn’t have it. Nobody needs a hundred round clip or full auto for an intruder.
Cool, so we’ll be taking those away from law enforcement and the military too then, right?
