  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

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.

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.
