For sure he's an idiot. But, if an idiot has a gun and uses it you can count on the person doing some idiotic with it. Stupid is as stupid does. Hell, even Forest Gump knows better.

He didn't remove himself from the gene pool, so no. He removed his wife, who for all we know was a perfectly nice person whose only mistake was marrying this dolt.

I see no reason why anyone who is not a cop or a soldier should be carrying a handgun.

Also, same argument for automatic machine guns. M16 is not a hunting weapon. But well said. Why would you be carrying a gun, unless it's in case you need to shoot something?

Well said.

In this case, my idea of gun control is licensing and mandatory, annual safety classes for all gun owners.

Also extremely well said. Don't give a nutjob a gun, or indeed a license to use one. Psychological testing (stringent) mind you weeds out a large amount of nutjobs. Some people are refused driving licenses on the grounds of poor eyesight, disability etc, so why not the same with guns? People arguing against this are simply the ones that would be excluded as they are more cans short of a sixpack that micael jackson loves kids.

These are the special breed of morons who think that they can knock down an interior wall with a chainsaw, hammer in nails with the battery end of a cordless drill, and cut through steel studs (in the wall) with a blow torch. It is sad when they take someone else out, instead of them, since mother nature is usually pretty good at eliminating the weaker genes.

Darwin Awards. No need to say more.

Well, she was smart enough to marry this genius, so I wouldn't be so sure! Also, with her not around, he has to try and lure another woman into marrying him, knowing full well that he shot his latest wife to procreate and sully the genepool further.

Maybe he WANTED this accident to happen?

This seems simply too stupid to be true...

Abso-fucking-lutely! About the only thing that Florida is good about is the homeowner has the right to use deadly force if anyone breaks in whether or not they're displaying a weapon. Although I'd rather not shoot someone in my house. Blood is hell to get up out of carpets and walls.






I think of gun control as using 2 hands and hitting your target. And, don't put your finger on the trigger unless you intend on pulling it.

Wow, sorry, but i just strongly disagree with all of this. It's just my humble opinion, but i think that it's this kind of mentality that perpetuates the eternal vicious circle of gun-related crimes your country is in. No guns, no shooting, plain and simple. Your "right" to posses fire arms goes back to a barbarian era wich is long gone. Times changes and the laws (and / or the constitution) needs to adapt.

It comes from a military background, which I share. We are taught to use and respect weapons, and not to be foolish with them like this maladroit was. In general, most of those folks don't have the training to handle those weapons, or a car, or a fork, or any other implement.

Well, some people collect old guns, or just have them because they like them. I know someone who has an old tommy gun he restored, and has another automatic rifle (can't remember which one). But he has them in his house locked up in a safe.

He has his regular hunting rifles, sure, but he loves to take the tommy gun to the range and give it a go just for fun, and to do some target shooting. Which I feel is perfectly fine.

But give a gun like that to an idiot...
