If these folks had enough sense to read the instruction booklet that comes with a gun two things would follow. They wouldn’t be dead, and they wouldn’t own a gun.

Being a proud ex-WA stater you could have started the headline with ‘Concrete man’ - it is quite similar to ‘Florida man’ . Concrete, land of blue tarp roofs and moss on the north side of your dog.

I’m no gun expert, but it seems to me that a weapon need not be loaded in order to take a selfie.

This isn’t the first time we’ve read of someone “taking a selfie with a gun” here at TPM. Apparently gun/camera confusion is a common problem among teh Gun Nutz™.

Concrete WA is the town Tobias Wolff wrote about in his book “This Boy’s Llife.” Move had Leonardo DeCaprio, and De Niro. Remember how desperately he wanted to “get away from this town…”

Nothing says “responsible gun owner” like “oops I shot my face off.” Don’t forget to post the fatal selfie to Facebook, you twits.

The NRA will solemnly announce that in order to prevent people from shooting themselves while taking selfies, it will be necessary to ban cameras.

I think a suspension of have-some-compassion-for-the-family is in order.
