Stop Gun Violence - PSA - General

Remember that couple on Twitch.tv that showed their guns on stream and let them lay around the house and some dudes robbed them at armed point later that month yeah

and besides it's not like your hideously bad parenting regimen of "don't play with guns" will enable a seven year old kid to crack open a solid steel safe and accidentally shoot himself in the face

Imagine talking to your parents about gun safety? Fuck it, I'll steal the gun and take it to my teacher and ask her to deal with it. What a stupid fucking psa.

Its not like the gun is going to create wings so it flies and shoots your face lmao

When I was a wee lad, my father took me into the backyard with his shotgun, and helped me shoot it at some sort of fruit. I can't remember what kind. Anyways, I fired it and it exploded. Then he just went. "And that's why you don't play with guns." And from that point on I knew to be safe with guns. See, that took him like what? 5 Minutes and only cost him about 1$ on a piece of fruit. Teaching kids guns are bad isn't rocket science.

With zero tolerance being so popular in schools, the kid was probably expelled and a police file opened on him.

This is why Americans are paranoid about gun control.

Responsible parents who are gun owners will teach their kids about gun safety, and possibly teach their kids to shoot properly if they ever [B]have[/B] to. I own a gun, but everyone in my house is an adult so I don't have any reason to keep it strictly locked up. I keep it hidden away, within reach, if someone were to break in. If/when I have my own kids I'm going to teach them about gun safety and how to properly handle a firearm almost as soon as they're able to pick one up. This PSA is seriously just going to encourage kids to take their parent's guns to school and then get suspended for having it while wanting to "get rid of it".

[QUOTE=Fatfatfatty;46777075] Pretty sure most home intruders just want to take your TV and not your life. Though if you start waving a gun around they might open fire on you.[/QUOTE] Sure most intruders just want your TV, but you never know until it's too late. You really think I should trust my life with a criminal breaking into my house? [url]http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/06/25/home-invasion-millburn-camera/2458129/[/url]

Anyone else noticed how perfectly culturally diverse his class was.

[QUOTE=Svinnik;46778133]With zero tolerance being so popular in schools, the kid was probably expelled and a police file opened on him.[/QUOTE] In this situation... good? Any kid dumb enough to do this (bring a gun to school...) deserves it.

Am I the only that noticed that he is the only caucasian kid in class? NINJA'D fuck

[QUOTE=hydrated;46776498]You shouldn't need to. Don't make guns some taboo thing and kids won't play with them. They're tools, sometimes you need to use them, and if your kid understands that he's not going to fuck with your guns.[/QUOTE] And from another thread [QUOTE=hydrated;46776562]I'd have shot her. She's a dangerous lunatic and could easily have killed those girls.[/QUOTE]

This reminds me of that guy who accidentally left his gun in his car and drove it to school, and then got arrested and expelled for doing the right thing and asking for permission to bring it home.

[QUOTE=Larikang;46778841]And from another thread[/QUOTE] yeah that's right it was a thread about a lunatic ramming people with her huge fucking truck if that's not a potentially deadly situation where force is a reasonable solution then I don't know what is

[QUOTE=Jackald;46777318]Man, I can't even imagine having guns being so normal to you guys. To me, guns are this last resort that only gets used if there's absolutely no alternative. Our police don't use guns unless it's a really really really important or dangerous situation. Even during the London Riots, they were only using rubber pellet guns and tear gas grenade launchers, and those were considered extremely contraversial. I know the Queen's guard have guns, and occasionally you'll see a police officer armed with an assault rifle in London but that's about it. Now longswords on the other hand are fair game and we use them all the time... [editline]23rd December 2014[/editline] Also, is it true that you guys have a national flag in every classroom?[/QUOTE] Guns are really really fun to shoot. Shooting the air is fun, not many things make shooting just air so fucking amazing. Then you can shoot targets and shit or watermelons, maybe someone throws a disc and you shoot that. I think you look at it more as a weapon of force and less as a tool or sport item. Most gun owners dont see it so much as a weapon, and dont treat them as such either. Plus there is a real charm to them I guess. Plus people dont want to use guns on people, thats probably the last thing the majority of gun owners want to do and do. Idiots and bad people sadly make them look bad, just like everything else in the world.

[QUOTE=hydrated;46780539]yeah that's right it was a thread about a lunatic ramming people with her huge fucking truck if that's not a potentially deadly situation where force is a reasonable solution then I don't know what is[/QUOTE] there are a lot of terms to describe the action of trying to shoot someone in a moving car while also driving quickly by a bunch of innocent people you could accidentally hit, and i don't think "responsible gun owner" is one of them like what do you even think is the best case scenario of killing someone who's in the middle of driving a big truck down an interstate highway? you only cause four crashes? only one other person dies? the height of responsibility right here, sure would trust that guy on parenting and child safety tips! [editline]23rd December[/editline] and even if you don't hit anyone it's not like the situation is gonna be made any better by having you shooting all over the place. at best you'll terrify all the other drivers and only make it more likely for an accident to happen and for someone to get hurt or maybe even killed. if you would really just start shooting on pure impulse without taking a second to realize that [I]that would be the worst possible time to do so[/I] then you're the last person on earth who should be handling a gun, followed closely by blind people.

And if the truck driver decided to bring a weapon, or showed intent to harm, then shooting her would be justified. In that type of situation, it would be fairly safe to do so, parked, off on the side of the road, and not trying to aim inside a window. I know of I was in a similar situation, and had a weapon on hand, I would have called the police; pulled over, and try to settle it without violence; but if the truck drive had come at me with the weapon, I would have shot her.

what a dick. His parents probably paid, what, $400 for that? More maybe? Also: His parents' car, screwdrivers, knives and tons of other things in his house can also kill people. Should he steal those too? Stupid
