I'm speechless...

Postby jdege on Thu Apr 27, 2023 8:11 am

Something that popped up on n Twitter...

I don't know what to say.

I'm imagining what that kid's life would have been like, had his mother been holding that handgun at a slightly different angle...

Well presumably one person has now learned that guns aren't toys.

The video in post #1 shows actions that are neither endorsed nor approved by the NRA (the organization routinely held responsible for things its members never do.)

Seriously, who DOES this and then POSTS it online for the world to see???

This is the only thing that surprises me about video's like this.
I will never apologize for being an American.

I would assume she sent it to someone she knows and it took off from there.

Ignorant is playing around with a firearm when you've had no training in safe firearms handling.

Stupid is ignoring safe firearms handling.

Ignorance can be fixed. Stupid, not so much.

I'm hoping that in her case, it's the former.

Aaaaaannnnnddddddddd...it's gone.
Yep. The video in post #1 is no longer available. You just get the "Hmmmm...." message.
I suppose there's might be valid reasons for it being removed. I'm just glad I've got some witnesses in my personal space that I showed it to because without them just describing the video would be pretty unbelievable.
Thanks to jdege for posting it and thanks for just keeping us informed. The window that the video was up was small and I'm pretty sure I never would have seen it on my own.

Which would explain why it was taken down again, if the originator did not consent to it being posted and complained.
