THANK YOU for remembering this joke. You get free stars today.

My fucking tone?! Oh yes, stupid people appealing to smarm. "We clearly have no idea what we are talking about because we think accidental gun deaths are caused by people with training who bought the guns, not by people with no training who came about the guns by other means."

And you are wrong. The majority of accidental gun deaths every year occur to people without training, who never bought a gun themselves. Every year hundreds of people die, thousands are injured because they didn't know basic firearms safety.

The majority of non-crime related gun deaths every year do not occur to CCW holders, or Hunting permit holders. Accidental gun deaths occur to people with no training what so ever, many of whom are people in this thread saying "I don't own a gun, I would never need training." The thing is, I'm sure most of the people…

Yes, I am trying to normalize a gun fetish when I support more restrictions on gun ownership. Right.

In a perfect world? Yes. But in reality? Like another commenter said, if you call the police and tell them you found a gun, half the time (not statistically researched just armchair stat) they will tell you "congratulations, you are now a gun owner!" Especially if they don't have an active murder investigation in…

Annnndddd midwest based.

And this is how Mark met Allen. God, I hope this is the origin story anyway.

I can't tell who is the attractive TA in this scenario. The guy looking either annoyed or confident (how did he pull off both looks?), or that gal to his left that is either leering at him because she is into him or nervous.

Definitely. I totally disagree with teaching them to shoot, but firearms safety is DEFINITELY something that should happen.

This. A thousand times this. It is pretty obvious just how ignorant ImmortalAgnes, Jan74, and mydogisagenius are. They really have no clue.

Oh my god. I am so tired of arguing with ignorant people. You do realize that the majority of accidental gun deaths each year occur to people without any firearms safety training, right? Most people also never got shot or get see a gun, but people are still hurt by them.

I said you do not know what you are talking about because there ALREADY IS TRAINING on guns for gun owners. Every hunter has to take hunter safety courses that involve firearms training, every CCW owners receives even more training. You clearly do not know this if you think that this training is lacking.

Gray Pride Parade!

There was no period either, so I assumed that she meant to say "And this year, she's turning 40!" So as to make the whole thing exclaimed.

Many states already have certifications for gun owners and for CCW permit holders. The fact that you do not know that CLEARLY DEMOSTRATES just how uneducated you are on the subject. Being educated on a subject is NEVER a bad thing when trying to construct policy around it.

Hell of a place to crash. One of the most advanced nations on earth, with all the telecommunications gear you could ever possibly shake a stick at, and he crashes into the black hole of communications.

And this year, she's turning 40 (just two years until Esquire can deem her bangable!)

Why would they want the guy who cries during sex on the bachelor on?

Doesn't believe in white privilege, yet wears that tire on national TV without inciting violence.
