Welcome to the United States of America!!!
Walking outside is now a dangerous activity.
“Man shot in butt from half-mile away.” Ha ha ha. It happens all the time, the neighbors say.
Now change that to “3 year old shot in head from half-mile away.” Not so funny anymore.
Obviously those people need to move their house. It’s interfering with someone’s Second Amendement Gauranteed Shooting Range.
Probably the victim’s fault for standing so close to the side of the barn.
THIs trajeDY couLD have BEEN preVENted IF the VICTIM was ARMEd!!!1!!!one!!1!!!1
Look the 2nd Amendment gives you the right to keep, bear, and shoot your gun whenever and wherever you want. You show me where in the constitution it says you have the right not to be shot in the ass by a moron, and then I’ll feel sorry for this guy. As far as I’m concerned, this is how the Founding Fathers wanted it, and that’s how it’s got to be.
Much like Jesus, what matters is what I think they said, not what they said!
This is exactly why I am against high powered, large magazine firearms in my town. Discharging such a firearm in the city should be a crime regardless of the circumstances because the shooter is recklessly endangering everyone inside the nearby building buildings and everyone outside for a distance of a 1000 yards or more. Some idiot firing off rounds could cause unknown mayhem. Nobody needs more than a short-range shotgun or low-caliber pistol for self-defense in the city. Better yet, call 911.
Are you trying to make me believe that bullets can travel for long distances after they go through a target and hurt people you can’t even see? Yeah, nice try, libs.
Only thing that can stop a badass with a gun is a goodass with a gun.
Heckuva job teaching gun safety, NRA.
No, seriously. Every time some fecking idiot does something like this, we should be asking if they’re an NRA member and where the local chapter was in its supposed mission of teaching people to use guns responsibly.
What? No Samwell references yet? I am disappoint.
Wow! I never get to be the first one to drop THIS line. Ahem… Just another responsible gun owner. Yeah!
Good guys with guns! The victim must have been a bad guy, right?
And once again, everyone was kept safe. I am so disgusted with gun suckers.
haveing it done once is a reckless mistake when you found out that your shooting the rifle will cause damage to someone or there property half a mile away it becomes a porpouseful act a screw you to whoever reported them to the cops in the first place
And having a big butt.
Case in NJ about 30 years ago, a man bought an old British Enfield .303 cal rifle.
He lived in a semi rural area in the state. He was showing it to a friend who decided to fire off a round into what he thought was an uninhabited wooded area about 1 mile away.
The bullet went through the head of a homeowner who was cleaning his rain gutters. Killed the guy instantly.
Don’t know how, but the police solved the case about a year later.
Nice shot!
Nice shootin’ there Tex. You are dam lucky gravity made that bullet drop in the space of that half mile or you would be looking at manslaughter at the least.
