What does a 5 year old need with hand gun training? What situations is a civilian going through 4 magazines shooting? Let alone a 5 year old. 6 Whatever. Glorifying it in showing your kid how to unload 30 or whatever shots quickly, taking a video, and posting it online. Is normal gun handling and training done in the living room, filmed for internet points?
Knowing how to handle a gun prevents accidents. My kids knew how to handle the .22 at that age, and they knew to respect it, and why to respect it. Target practice, competitions, training... Could be self defense from cartel members, though you certainly hope not. But remember, the police will likely not be there to help you for 30 minutes to an hour if you're in trouble. And when they do finally get there they have no obligation to save you. Glorifying a skill or training is a good thing, IMO. And I don't think they were firing or dry firing at all. Just working on safely ejecting and loading a new magazine. Sure, in a living room is fine if you've verified there is no live ammo, especially if you're pointing at a concrete wall, or if there is a stand of trees or embankment on the other side of the wall. People clean their guns in their living rooms all the time.
Gresham police: Man cleans gun while driving, shoots himself in leg https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crim...A16A9Vo?cvid=81efc0cee30841cc8d2652f4399026d6
Sounds like they found him in his van dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Might not be him though I guess.
Haven’t visited this thread in awhile. It was literally making me nauseous. Do people still think guns are good?
Guns aren't any more good or bad than any other tool. Are knives bad? Are cars bad? Cars undoubtedly kill far more people than guns. And not by accident or misuse. They are designed to poison the air we breathe. Emissions alone kill 53,000 Americans per year. Traffic accidents kill over 30,000 Americans per year and vehicle fires result in roughly 500 American deaths per year... Not to mention building our cities to cater to cars makes them less liveable and our population far less healthy. And they are used to ram into crowds of people over 100 times per year in the US alone. Resulting in incredible suffering and terrifying death... Tools aren't good or bad.
My Vietnamese friend said the Monterey park shooter married a Chinese lady who used him to get to America. She went out dancing and he got all psycho jealous and followed her to go on the rampage. At least that's the version going around
What We Know About the Gun Used in the Monterey Park Shooting It used home made components. It was purchased in California by a person who was prohibited from purchasing firearms from a prior crime. Apparently California doesn't have tough enough gun laws... Or maybe this is the wrong way to do things...
