I like to think of it as if someone said to me, “Hey, you’re gonna race this guy in a 5K, and we’re gonna give you a 1.25 mile head start..and you’re still gonna lose. Oh, and he already ran a half-marathon earlier this morning.”

How you much do you think it costs in bribe money to get someone on a state-appointed water park safety inspector’s salary to look the other way? $20?

I’m imaging that he spent several hours strategically placing the individual shells to give the photo a random, unorganized element.

Calm down, man. Go have a beer. Maybe get some reading comprehension skills while you’re at it.

It’s called embellishing, and since I’m an internet commenter and not a professional journalist, I’ll take liberties wherever I want, thank you very much (especially when my subject has incredibly dumb takes).

I feel like you’re attacking a straw man, here. I don’t think it shouldn’t be illegal. Gun storage laws are fine. I’m not arguing their merit. My point, which I’ll repeat again, was that you can’t reliably enforce it as a preventative measure. Relying on friends, family members, neighbors, and delivery boys to be the…

That’s hardly the same thing as making it the main focus of one’s comments in the comment section.

If I build a bomb in my living room, and the pizza delivery guy sees it, he’s gonna call the cops

and are subject to unannounced visits from the police to check on the storage of weapons and ammunition in said safe.

Did you read my whole post? Ease of obtaining weapons without the prerequisite of training was the whole point of part 2.

A few states do have gun storage laws; however, they’re obviously impossible to enforce as a preventative measure. You can’t police what someone does inside their own home.

600+ kids ages 0-11 are killed by guns every year in America. Sadly, it happens all the time and has been for a long time. I imagine, like most other things, you just hear about it in the news with varying frequency.

Welcome to the internet.

Americans ignore gun safety because... I don’t know.

Who leaves loaded guns laying around like that for 9 year olds to pick up?!?

Dude, you’re the only person here who read this article and immediately thought, “Fake news! We don’t know it was a PS4 controller!”

Admittedly not my best work.

7 and a half years seems like a shitload of time for some cocaine, particularly for a veteran without any priors (assuming that’s the case). Unless there’s more to the story that isn’t reported here, that’s fucked up.

That was the joke.

All that martial arts training, and he still got stabbed.
