[QUOTE=Meller Yeller;30463726]Gun violence is really not ridiculous in America. Across the country with millions of people living here of course these stories will come up but what're the odds of you getting shot in your [b]entire[/b] lifetime realistically of living here? Slim to none.[/QUOTE] I can't find the stats for gun crime alone, but if you're black you have a 2.7% chance of being a victim of violent crime, 2% if you're white. (In the United States) ([url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_the_United_States]Source[/url]) Most murders in the US are committed with firearms, as well. ([url=http://www.nij.gov/topics/crime/gun-violence/]Source[/url]) Those are actually shocking numbers and not "slim to none" at all.
Oh look, gun control arguments are starting. Guess I'm leaving this thread.
Me and a friend almost got shot like this, here's how: Our other friend, the one with the shotgun, kept it unloaded in his closet. One day he whips it out and points it at us(the shotgun I mean). We both yell "don't point it at us" and he moves it away and BAM! He blows a hole in his wall. Turns out the night before his dad heard what he thought was a prowler in the backyard. So he gets my friend's shotgun, loads it, and goes outside looking around. No one was there, so he put the shotgun back in the closet. It was the middle of the night, everyone was sleeping, and the dad was tired, so he 'forgot' to unload the gun or tell my friend it was loaded. That's how shit like this happens. The thing is, as long as you check your weapon before you play with it OR don't play with it at all OR don't point it at anyone OR don't pull the trigger- you can't kill anyone accidentally. It's the easiest thing in the world to prevent.
And this is why you don't enable friendly fire when you play with noobs in realistic mode. I'm sorry, I can hardly feel bad for the death of someone when natural selection is only doing its job.
well when I was in elementary we had field trips to stadiums where we were lectured about drug/gun safety [editline]15th June 2011[/editline] come on those kids are retarded
I won't be an asshole but Darwin kicked in again. [editline]15th June 2011[/editline] or is it COD-syndrome?
Darwin award material right there. Fuck, Darwin of the fucking year!

[QUOTE=sltlamina;30466197]Jesus Christ, there's no way that can be right. 1 in 50 males is a victim of gun crime?[/QUOTE] I've heard similar reports.
[QUOTE=Falchion;30471489]I've heard similar reports.[/QUOTE] Well it can't be true. I live in the south where there's a lot of lower class folk and almost everyone has their own collection of guns and I have [b]never[/b] known [b]anyone[/b] that was a victim of gun crime. In fact the only person I sorta kinda knew that was murdered was stabbed to death.
[QUOTE=Squeaken;30461535]"The two teenagers, along with a third, were pointing what they believed was an unloaded shotgun at each other and pulling the trigger when the gun discharged" Wow what[/QUOTE] Stupidity, my friend. Stupidity.
This is awful :saddowns:
this is very sad
I guess it blew their minds when they found out it was loaded
Hm I remember when a friend of mine passed away after being run over by a car. Things like that really remind you how death is never far.
What a dumbass. I yell at my friends when they point airsoft guns at me without their finger off the trigger, what could compel someone to do it with a real gun and then actually start pulling the trigger.
I don't see how this is surprising, All 4 years of my highschool had about 12 suicides/deaths associated with it.
Can't imagine what it would feel like be the kid with the shotgun to see the body fall to the ground.
Russian Roulette with a shotgun eh? [editline]16th June 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=SlickBlade;30491706]Can't imagine what it would feel like be the kid with the shotgun to see the body fall to the ground.[/QUOTE] I think the realisation that he just shot mis mate would sting more.
Reminds me of the Sunny episode where they fire their "cursed" guns at each other, and end up killing the British guy. "Check his pulse" "HE DOESN'T HAVE A HEAD" Seriously, though. Gun education needs to become a mandatory part of school curriculum apparently, because it seems like parents are completely unwilling to teach their children proper gun safety. Never point a gun at a person EVER, loaded or unloaded. That's like the first fucking rule. And this is why people think guns should be banned. [b]Educate your idiot children[/b]
