In any given year, more than half of all gun deaths are suicides, so really it should read…

They are a bad shot

So much potential greentext, wasted.

most gun owners are safe and cautious
I know some of the most brain dead takes that my friends with guns do. Some gun owners are absolutely crazy when it comes to gun safety.
ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
I have known a number gun enthusiasts. About half of them have been safe with them. Only one shot themself.
The numbers aren’t great.

And isn’t it every week that a toddler shoots someone? It’s not a good look.

The number of people who openly admit to coworkers that they have couch guns scares me

Because what’s better than knowing your balls could get blown at any moments while binging Netflix.
wookiepedia@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Another take, I am super on it with gun safety, but not storage. There are never minors allowed in my home, and a gun isn’t useful unless you can get to it easily and it’s ready to go. Only guns resting inside the safe area unloaded, all the guns that work for a living have loaded magazines and a round in the chamber (I don’t own any 1911 pattern guns, if I did, they would not be chambered.) Also, no exposed trigger, everything is in a holster.
phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
Yeah, press x to doubt
Some are extremely careful. Way too many(majority , from personal experience) are “meh” at best, and a smaller part (but still way too many) are just using guns as a baby rattle (figure of speech, though I’ve seen things)
ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I have a friend who has a quick access weapon for defense. But he keeps the AR in the corner of his bedroom, a loaded magazine, not chambered. But has a curious 2 year old in his house. And that’s just one instance from a single friend. And he rationalizes it, saying he keeps the door locked. (Which isn’t true because the time we came over and noticed it, the door was wide open)
And this is coming from me, who fairly recently got into firearms and got my CCW. Sometimes the lack of priority for safety just leaves me astounded. This is why statistics happen.
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 2 days ago
When there are millions of gun owners even a few percent using guns for “baby rattles” is still a very significant number.
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
you should bully them for it, they deserve it.
ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Oh I definitely do. Because I get quick access defense. But at the same time there is a limit to that. Especially if kids are in the house.

But not so much you get shot.

mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 day ago
pfft this ridiculous shit - most gun owners are completely cautious and safe people - is disproven easily by reality.

that’s a single example of the idiocy. it gets dumber the further you research. Most, bwahahahah

Hmm…
This is some combination of right-wing gun-toting and sexism. A very… wonderful combination.

Fake. Anon doesn’t have a wife. That would involve talking to a woman.

Fedora with safari flaps in the back
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Be British
Go to the United States
Don’t Get Blown up in a Cybertruck
Don’t Get Shot up in a mass shooting
Don’t Get Robbed shirtless by a home invasion
Don’t Get Scammed broke by a crypto-coin shill
Do find the one person in the entire country who insists on doing knife crime
Marry her
Get stabbed to death
Post about it on 4chan

He’s lucky his wife didn’t have a gun.

So she was “standing her ground?”
ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Both the “locks away guns, guns are always empty except on the shooting range or hunting, safety conscious” person and the “gets drunk every evening and sleeps with a loaded gun under their pillow” person are actually totally safe as long as they uphold the number one rule of gun safety: “The barrel of a gun may never be pointed at a person”. Super hard to shoot someone unless you are Angelina Jolie or James McAvoy or one of those bullet ricochet superheroes. Of course it’s a useless rule since it is simply stating the obvious. But that doesn’t seem to stop people from repeating it.
Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
You repeated it?
MindlessHunter4@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
If the wife knows where he keeps the guns she could and probably would just as easily shoot him.
Quadhammer@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Aim center mass babe

Could just be a story about a man getting pegged by his wife
Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
See that is the problem.
All gun owners should be completely cautious and safe. That is why you background check them thoroughly.
GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
The amount of guns mechanics find just casually sitting around in customers cars is appalling. They get stolen because people leave guns in their cars and used for crimes.
zerosignal@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Whenever I see cars/trucks with gun stickers on the back, I assume they are rolling loot drops. Ain’t no way I’m advertising what guns I have. Also not leaving my guns unattended anywhere. I spent too much on that shit to leave it out for somebody else to take.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
Exactly. It’s either with me or locked up safely at home.
LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Maybe it was justified, let’s hear her out
felixwhynot@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Exceptions are rare enough that there’s only like one mass shooting a week!
rtxn@lemmy.world 3 days ago
In 2022 or 2023 there was one mass shooting for every day of the year
Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 3 days ago
90 mass shootings in 101 days! At least 11 days without one, way to go USA.
Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 days ago
I mean, most of those are gang shootings, no? Those are always a bit disingenuous to call mass shootings.
neons@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
One? In both years, there have been two shootings for every year according to your source. Jesus christ!
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
i mean, the US is also fucking huge compared to somewhere like europe, so that “wrong place” is the entire continental US.
