Idiots who don't bother to learn how to use a gun properly and safely get what they deserve. :coffee:

Yes, but he now has to live with what he did and will be tried and punished for it.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe I said, "Idiots who don't bother to learn how to use a gun properly and safely get what they deserve." I did not say that the victims got what they deserved. I was merely commenting on the fact that people died as a result of someone else's stupidity.

They ought to sell special blank rounds for such occasions. They could charge more for them if they marketed them as wedding bullets.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

I just thought that you were missing the point a bit. There will always be idiots who don't bother to learn how to use a gun properly and safely. So people will always be killed in gun accidents while lots of guns are around.

And plenty of people have been killed by people who DO bother to learn how to use a gun properly and safely. Cops and soldiers have been killed in firing range accidents by trained users. Accidents will always happen. You gave no evidence that this guy didn't bother to learn how to use a gun properly and safely. You just assumed it. Learning something and sticking to it are two different things.

So I think the point is that innocent people died, and will continue to die, not that people don't bother to learn, or that someone will get prosecuted.
