Good luck to them when they can't figure out how to use a gun
I could not fucking believe what I was seeing, some months back, when somebody posted either a link to, or a green text clip talking about a tiktok video where...
... Some young adult, thought it would be cool to 'pretend' (?) to off himself by holding a loaded gun to his head and pull the trigger.
A semi auto pistol.
This guy... not only did he not even check to make sure there was no rounds in the magazine, muchless drop out or empty the mag, he didn't check to make sure no round in the chamber...
He manually flipped the safety off before doing this.
Yeah, he died, in the middle of an otherwise bragadocious display of being hard and not giving a fuck.
.... The whole thing was so stupid and absurd that I still cannot actually tell whether or not he intentionally, or accidentally, offed himself.
Afraid it's a Hanlon's razor situation.
You are probably right, but as someone with, you know, basic firearms familiarization and safety training...
Yeah, I am nearly incapable of imagining someone could be that fucking stupid, all by accident, its basically exactly what not to do, perfectly.
On the other hand, a lot of people are incredibly stupid, hence the Darwin Award.
Eugenics, how nice
I mean, if it were up to me, it would be illegal to purchase or possess a firearm without some kind of certificate you've passed some kind of firearms training course and also hold a first aid / trauma response certification.
