I live in my old college town and a couple years ago a grad student was carrying in the CHEMISTRY building and the thing went off and got him in the thigh. It was in a grad student lounge area I think and not near any chemicals or any lab equipment but, like, come on.
My grand parents had a set of lawn darts and we used to play with them when we were younger. I'm amazed there was only one death, probably a lot of injuries though.
We’re also not allowed to put toys in cereal boxes anymore. We think of the children a lot…except when we don’t…when there’s money on the other side of the issue.
Kinder surprise eggs aren’t banned specifically, they just fit the description of an FDA ban (toys/objects inside food). Why would we need to wait for an incident to happen first anyway…
I don't understand how they can get so irrationally angry when people get upset about all of these "accidents" and mass shootings and demand solutions. How are we not allowed to be concerned about this stuff?
I have friends that grew up hunting with their fathers. They are much more prepared for responsible gun ownership than most people buying their first gun out of fear. I do not own a gun because I do not need one but also because I know I could not trust myself to care for it properly.
This should automatically disqualify someone from being allowed to conceal carry every again. There's no "accidental" shooting, just negligent shooting.
Well if the shooting didn’t, the fact that this happened in a school does. It’s illegal (felony) to carry a firearm on school property, so they will lose their right to carry.
When Texas passed their new gun laws I made a comment on a post saying that the rate of self inflicted gun shot wounds and public shootings is going to rise. Someone actually commented on it saying I was wrong.
I’m not against guns or gun ownership. But I think people are incredibly stupid and without some educational and paperwork hurdles to jump then people too stupid to be trusted will have weapons. Hell, I don’t trust most people with cars, and those do have the hurdles to jump.
I got my LTC about 8 years ago and I was SHOCKED at the guy next to me struggling to even properly LOAD his firearm during the qualification portion of the class. I literally felt unsafe being in the same room as this person and wanted to leave...and he was the worst but not the only one. I grew up around responsible gun owners and it was pretty jarring having my eyes opened to how bad the average person is...
One of the gun control measures that the pro control side has been trying to push for years is a federally mandated drop test. Can't seem to make it happen thanks to the NRA. Without a federally mandated drop test it's hard to say that he actually had to pull the trigger.
This idiot just proved that they’re not competent enough to be carrying a gun, especially in a public space. Better give them their gun right back and let them go on their merry way!
He wasn’t even legally carrying, that’s why he got arrested. It’s not legal to carry on an elementary school campus in TX. Only way around it is with written permission from the district. He didn’t have that.
This is America! He will sue the school and win more money for more guns. It's not his fault, the school shouldn't have let him carry the gun onto the property!
Well...it is constitutional carry in Texas. You don't actually need to know how to fire a gun or how to keep things safe to get a gun. I am surprised stupid shit like this doesn't happen more often.
Even with constitutional carry guns on a school campus is a pretty big no no, there are exceptions for law enforcement but that’s about it - you aren’t supposed to even drive with a loaded firearm with 1000 feet of a school.
They should lose their ability to ever own a gun again. Why do you have a gun at school to begin with and shooting yourself should automatically disqualify you from owning a gun. Or it should be a 5 year ban with a chance at getting the right back after taking 10 hours of a class on gun safety and a probation period making sure the idiot doesn’t do something else stupid.
Ugh this is why we need a qualifying system before a person legally obtains a firearm. One qualifier being a required gun-safety course, which would have taught this⬆️ dummy to put his firearm on safety.
So good guy with a gun is more likely to shoot himself or someone else with a stray bullet on an accidental discharge vs stopping anything from happening.
Me(who lives in Arlington Texas) waiting for this article to load: "Please be Virginia please be Virginia please be Virginia please be Virginia..... ah fuck".
Right on. Let's issue 1000 rounds and an AR-15 to every child when they are 4 and have them carry the loaded weapons to school with them each day. That way we would always have more good kids with guns than bad kids with guns. /S
Fucking Texas again. So let's recap. We had a school shooting with 18 kids dead whilst a bunch of overmilitarized Texas police stood in the shade sipping water and flicking through their Instagrams. Then we had another AK-47 school massacre foiled at a different Texas school before it got started. And then the day after that, another shot fired in a school by a so-called "legal, responsible gun owner."
Ahhh yes, those wonderful legal open carry laws of Texas! No instructions, No training, No sense, just the feeling of machismo and having a larger penis in your pocket!
Another good guy with a gun? So parents are now bringing concealed weapons made to kill people to schools full of children? Glad the 2nd Amendment is really working here.
This was not an accidental discharge of a firearm. There was no mechanical failure of the gun. It was a negligent shooting of a firearm due to his failure to follow basic safety procedures.
Police and school officials said there was no threat made and the parent did not have "malicious intent. Lucky he shot himself and not accidentally kill a kid.
everything else aside, carrying LOADED just blows my mind, and always has. their reasoning is "i might not have time to rack the slide to chamber a round"
I was feeling panicky at my kid's field day on Wednesday and my foreign friend (who doesn't quite get it) said that at least a number of the parents on campus would be packing after Tuesday's shooting, as if that's supposed to be reassuring.
OMG what the hell is going on this week? It's almost like someone is sending a signal that the whole "protect others from guns with more guns" is not exactly a good solution.
If you carry a gun with you everywhere you go, you're just a piece of shit. There is zero reason why you need it when a majority of the population is okay walking around without one.
They never believe the statistics that say they’re waaaaaaay more likely to accidentally shoot themselves or their kids than they are to successfully use a gun to defend themselves, but they all think they’re immune to those statistics. “That won’t happen because I’m a responsible gun owner” this fuckwit probably said to himself as he strapped a gun to himself to walk into a school, like the lunatic he is.
This idiot walked past all the fuckin “No Guns On School Property” signs, the signs on the door, the sign on the buzz in door, and still thought he was above all that and would be the protector… then shoots himself…
This is why the 2nd Amendment mentions a well-regulated militia. It doesn't say any moron with no regulations, training, or registration can own a gun.
Since you got a gun in a school how about you go find a deserted hallway and stick that fucking gun towards molar number 32 and pull the trigger you dumb fuck….
At least the shooter was shot and the attack was stopped.
[удалено]
By a "good guy with a gun" even.
If not, the US Border Patrol was getting on Interstate 35 to come up there to Dallas.
Proof that even the dumbest gun owners are more effective than the police
Oh yeah, they should try to give this guy partial credit. He tried to solve the problem by shooting an idiot with a gun, he just didn't go far enough.
“It could have been worse. Anyway… NRA convention!” - Abbott
Finally, a school shooting where a shooter was stopped by a shooter.
I’m confused… does that make him a “good guy with a gun” or a fucking moron who shouldn’t have ever been allowed one in the first place?
Is this what conservatives mean by, “we need good guys with guys”? I guess it work this time…..
In the two days since the Uvalde mass school shooting, there have been five cases in North Texas related to guns brought to schools or threats made
There is no such thing as an accidental shooting. These are negligent shootings.
Yep. If it was not in his hands and being used for an active situation, it should have had its safety on.
Before I make my little rant, I absolutely agree that the media should not be calling these incidents accidental.
Wait, are you saying that something can't be both negligent and accidental? If so, why not?
Merriam-Webster:
Florida man, meet Texas man.
Im surprised this doesn't happen more often, honestly
Happens all the time, just not at schools days after a massive school massacre.
It does. It's not always national news.
Imagine if every teacher was armed, this would probably happen every day.
I live in my old college town and a couple years ago a grad student was carrying in the CHEMISTRY building and the thing went off and got him in the thigh. It was in a grad student lounge area I think and not near any chemicals or any lab equipment but, like, come on.

My grand parents had a set of lawn darts and we used to play with them when we were younger. I'm amazed there was only one death, probably a lot of injuries though.
I strongly believe that it’s because the family allowed the world to see a picture of the child who was killed with a lawn dart in her head.
You can take my lawn darts when you pry them from my cold dead hands! (You'll also need need a time machine back to the 1980s.)
We’re also not allowed to put toys in cereal boxes anymore. We think of the children a lot…except when we don’t…when there’s money on the other side of the issue.
One dipshit put a DEFECTIVE device in his underwear and I now have to get a fucking rectal exam every time I board a plane.
Kinder surprise eggs aren’t banned specifically, they just fit the description of an FDA ban (toys/objects inside food). Why would we need to wait for an incident to happen first anyway…
Maybe we need something like the Food and Drug Administration, but for Guns 🤔
We banned masks in schools too.
It's almost as if having every dipshit in the country carrying a gun isn't the best idea.....
I don't understand how they can get so irrationally angry when people get upset about all of these "accidents" and mass shootings and demand solutions. How are we not allowed to be concerned about this stuff?
I've been around guns my whole life. I was taught to handle them properly, and to respect them.
[удалено]
I have friends that grew up hunting with their fathers. They are much more prepared for responsible gun ownership than most people buying their first gun out of fear. I do not own a gun because I do not need one but also because I know I could not trust myself to care for it properly.
Fuck it I'm anti gun. I'm sick of catering to the feelings of gun nuts that want to pretend they're in an action movie one day.
You're right and the babies down voting you can fuck off.
Also with the population going up, the amount of dipshits by ratio is sky rocketing!
It’s not the responsible gun owners that are getting upset, it’s the ones that deep down know they are the dipshits.
We should have armed dipshits that protect the dipshits. And then another armed dipshit to protect the armed dipshit protector.
Prolly thinks he is a responsible gun owner too.
Another great example for “GiVe eVeRYonE guNs”
This should automatically disqualify someone from being allowed to conceal carry every again. There's no "accidental" shooting, just negligent shooting.
Well if the shooting didn’t, the fact that this happened in a school does. It’s illegal (felony) to carry a firearm on school property, so they will lose their right to carry.
When Texas passed their new gun laws I made a comment on a post saying that the rate of self inflicted gun shot wounds and public shootings is going to rise. Someone actually commented on it saying I was wrong.
When TX stopped teaching sex Ed in HS the rate of teen pregnancy went up.
I’m not against guns or gun ownership. But I think people are incredibly stupid and without some educational and paperwork hurdles to jump then people too stupid to be trusted will have weapons. Hell, I don’t trust most people with cars, and those do have the hurdles to jump.
People who think more guns will result in less shooting are…very special, indeed.
I got my LTC about 8 years ago and I was SHOCKED at the guy next to me struggling to even properly LOAD his firearm during the qualification portion of the class. I literally felt unsafe being in the same room as this person and wanted to leave...and he was the worst but not the only one.

Guns cannot "go off", the trigger must be pulled. This is a negligent discharge by an idiot.
A desk pop!
One of the gun control measures that the pro control side has been trying to push for years is a federally mandated drop test. Can't seem to make it happen thanks to the NRA. Without a federally mandated drop test it's hard to say that he actually had to pull the trigger.
That's not true. Guns malfunction. Especially poorly designed, poorly maintained, or modified guns. For instance...
[удалено]
a proper functioning gun, yes.
I bet this wouldn’t have happened if the building had fewer doors.
Meal team six on the job
We're gonna have so much more of this hilarity. Thanks, Abbott.
“Tommy Sagebrush, please report to the principle’s office immediately. Your dumb ass dad just shot himself in the balls.”
sound like a well-regulated militia to me chief
Let’s arm everyone though, right?
Big week for "good guys with guns."
This idiot just proved that they’re not competent enough to be carrying a gun, especially in a public space. Better give them their gun right back and let them go on their merry way!
He wasn’t even legally carrying, that’s why he got arrested. It’s not legal to carry on an elementary school campus in TX. Only way around it is with written permission from the district. He didn’t have that.
Well he got arrested. No idea whatll happen with his gun, but he went to the hospital then jail.
This is America! He will sue the school and win more money for more guns. It's not his fault, the school shouldn't have let him carry the gun onto the property!
Well...it is constitutional carry in Texas. You don't actually need to know how to fire a gun or how to keep things safe to get a gun. I am surprised stupid shit like this doesn't happen more often.
Even with constitutional carry guns on a school campus is a pretty big no no, there are exceptions for law enforcement but that’s about it - you aren’t supposed to even drive with a loaded firearm with 1000 feet of a school.
Let’s not forget that it’s illegal to carry on school property. So a bad guy with a gun stopped himself.
Aw, heck. Now we need more bad guys with guns to stop the good guys with guns.
Another member of Our Well Regulated Militia
Another good guy with a gun. Will he save anyone or accidentally kill someone? Who can tell?
Gotta love people who don't take safety classes before buying a gun, it's a good thing he hit himself and not anyone else
Is this the good guy with a gun?
He could not decide so just to be sure he shot the bad guy to be the good guy!
This is the bs the reps want
They should lose their ability to ever own a gun again. Why do you have a gun at school to begin with and shooting yourself should automatically disqualify you from owning a gun. Or it should be a 5 year ban with a chance at getting the right back after taking 10 hours of a class on gun safety and a probation period making sure the idiot doesn’t do something else stupid.
“Think of how stupid the average American is. Now realize half of them are dumber than that” (and we are arming them)
More guns is clearly the answer.
Ugh this is why we need a qualifying system before a person legally obtains a firearm. One qualifier being a required gun-safety course, which would have taught this⬆️ dummy to put his firearm on safety.
Another “one in the chamber idiot”.
It’s almost like guns are universally dangerous and we should ban them.
At least the right person was hurt with this stupidity.
So good guy with a gun is more likely to shoot himself or someone else with a stray bullet on an accidental discharge vs stopping anything from happening.
Me(who lives in Arlington Texas) waiting for this article to load: "Please be Virginia please be Virginia please be Virginia please be Virginia..... ah fuck".
Replace accidentally with negligently. When dealing with firearms there are no accidents.
[удалено]
This could've been prevented had there been more guns.
Probably shot himself because crt ‘woke’ the safety switch. /s
Or if he’d had mental health counseling!
I mean let's be real, if guns only posed a threat of harm to their wielder we'd have absolutely zero problems lol
Just put the guns down ya weirdos.
Too bad there weren't more guns in the school. This could have been prevented.
Right on. Let's issue 1000 rounds and an AR-15 to every child when they are 4 and have them carry the loaded weapons to school with them each day. That way we would always have more good kids with guns than bad kids with guns. /S
"Here's Your Sign." - Bill Engvall
Texas needs to secede. Is there a go fund me? I'll chip in.
And right up until that point, I'm sure he thought he was one of the "responsible, law-abiding gun owners."
And these heartless assholes want teachers to start carrying weapons in the class…
Maybe the problem is just too many guns? :/
Another “Good Guy with a Gun.”
Fucking Texas again. So let's recap. We had a school shooting with 18 kids dead whilst a bunch of overmilitarized Texas police stood in the shade sipping water and flicking through their Instagrams. Then we had another AK-47 school massacre foiled at a different Texas school before it got started. And then the day after that, another shot fired in a school by a so-called "legal, responsible gun owner."
If there'd been good guys with guns this wouldn't have happened /s
Fucking morons should not carry guns. Exact reasoning to license gun owners.
Now imagine if everyone had a gun.
5 more similar school gun incidents in TX alone since Wed's massacre...
I’m 100% sure this dude described himself as a responsible gun owner.
Texans are way too fucking stupid for their own good. I wish they would get out of their own way.
Bad and good guy with gun revealed to be the same person
he saw school shootings trending on twitter and didnt want to miss out.
New proposal:
Cops didn't hesitate with this guy, did they?
This is exactly why we can't have nice things.
There should be no guns in this guy’s position for some time.
Excuse my caps lock but, WHY ARE PEOPLE SO FUCKING STUPID?
Too bad every weapons offense isn't a felony. If you can't be responsible with a gun, you shouldn't be allowed to have them.
His 4 hour training didn’t prevent mistakes?
at least he had the decent sheer dumb luck to shoot HIMSELF.
So just an alright guy with a gun
That's what holsters are for ffs. What a dumbass.
Special education school for the slow.
"We need more guns in the hands of good guys!"
Ah the elusive good guy with a gun has been spotted…
Sometimes a good guy with a gun and a bad guy with a gun are the same guy with a gun.
And they want to give teachers guns 🤷♂️🤦♂️
“Responsible gun owner”
More firearms = more accidental discharges.
Well the police weren't going to come in and shoot him so he thought he had to do it himself 🤣
When Republicans try to push the “good guy with a gun” narrative to the next level…
I guess this is why people don’t want teachers to be the line of defense against shooters?
Still did more than the Texan police force.
FOX news headline: Good guy with a gun took out the shooter.
What a lead gobbling fuckwit
It’s too bad there wasn’t a “good guy with a gun” to stop this. Maybe if everyone had a gun, it wouldn’t have happened. /s
Those relaxed gun regulations are going GREAT.
And, this is the one time that nobody is suggesting that the school shooter has a mental problem!
Should read “Moron brings gun to school - shoots self”
We will never have safety from guns as long as we have to trust every idiot who can pick one up.
Ahhh yes, those wonderful legal open carry laws of Texas! No instructions, No training, No sense, just the feeling of machismo and having a larger penis in your pocket!
“GIVE THE SECURITY GUNS!”
Another good guy with a gun? So parents are now bringing concealed weapons made to kill people to schools full of children? Glad the 2nd Amendment is really working here.
You mean parent who shouldnt be carrying a weapon at all?
“More guns is the solution” -republicunts every single time an entirely preventable tragedy happens
This is why jackasses shouldnt be able to purchase firearms id say 30% of our population here in the USA are complete jackasses and they love guns
This was not an accidental discharge of a firearm. There was no mechanical failure of the gun. It was a negligent shooting of a firearm due to his failure to follow basic safety procedures.
He was ”a good guy with a gun”. It was pure luck he didn’t kill any innocents.
This leopard ate his own face.
Gun safety and proper concealment right?
Every time a gun is fired at a school a Republican gets a check
This is what…2 days after the shooting?
This. This is why arming EVERYONE is a dumbfuck idea.
Police and school officials said there was no threat made and the parent did not have "malicious intent. Lucky he shot himself and not accidentally kill a kid.
The good guy with a gun shoots himself in the dick.
everything else aside, carrying LOADED just blows my mind, and always has. their reasoning is "i might not have time to rack the slide to chamber a round"
Hank hill would be ashamed… “dang it how did you shoot yourself..”
Is this Bad guy with a gun or good guy with gun. Can an ammo sexual please explain.
Wow!!! Some of the people in Texas seem to have a big learning disability when it comes to guns….
Imagine being the poor kid who's white trash father brought a gun into the school and couldn't even keep from shooting himself.
Whew, thank the gods they were around to stop that foot from rampaging through the town.
Why the hell do regular people bring guns to school?? No, really. What in the living fuck is that?
Magical thinking got himself shot
I was feeling panicky at my kid's field day on Wednesday and my foreign friend (who doesn't quite get it) said that at least a number of the parents on campus would be packing after Tuesday's shooting, as if that's supposed to be reassuring.
OMG what the hell is going on this week? It's almost like someone is sending a signal that the whole "protect others from guns with more guns" is not exactly a good solution.
Not an accident, this was negligent and illegal. Seriously hope this one is made an example of, this IS a felony. Freaking idiot.
Oh no another school shooting. At least this one may have save lives
If you carry a gun with you everywhere you go, you're just a piece of shit. There is zero reason why you need it when a majority of the population is okay walking around without one.
Every day in America an average of 321 people are shot. One hundred eleven of them are fatally shot.
Dafuq? This is just turning into a cruel farce
They never believe the statistics that say they’re waaaaaaay more likely to accidentally shoot themselves or their kids than they are to successfully use a gun to defend themselves, but they all think they’re immune to those statistics. “That won’t happen because I’m a responsible gun owner” this fuckwit probably said to himself as he strapped a gun to himself to walk into a school, like the lunatic he is.

This is why the 2nd Amendment mentions a well-regulated militia. It doesn't say any moron with no regulations, training, or registration can own a gun.
Nothing to be worried about. Gun enthusiasts love to tell us that people who shoot themselves don't matter. So, why is this even news?
at this point, ya love to hear it.
Was wondering if there was going to be any accidental discharge near a school after Robb Elementary.
Either way toss him in jail.
I wonder if the victim will be pressing charges.
Or the best possible outcome.
Since you got a gun in a school how about you go find a deserted hallway and stick that fucking gun towards molar number 32 and pull the trigger you dumb fuck….
I believe that's called a Plaxico Burress.
That is probably the best possible outcome in this situation
The article says he "dropped his gun and accidentally shot himself."
We live in a clown world
Can't blame her for wanting to carry a gun. Schools are dangerous places.
Can't trust a "good" guy with a gun.
Assinine gun lack of gun control. Just pathetic!
Wow so I guess there was a good guy with a gun /s
This guy did so many things wrong to have this happen it's almost comical.
Woohoo we’re saved! Quick everyone arm yourself /s
fantastic timing, dipshit.
Don’t Mess with Texas , oh shit my toes
So, he was playing with his weapon in school then?
So how many more dipshits have 47 guns just lying around that they have to carry everywhere. FFS, my country is stupid and hopeless.
