IRS shows up to claim this mans crown, he's going to tell them the same thing he told the ATF.
Lost it in a boating accident.
Hope he never needs a MRI though, his cast iron balls won't mix with a magnet like that.

Solution to gun problems:
Make guns internationally illegal for anyone to own. Cop owns a gun? Into the slammer. You own a gun? Body we’re throwing away the keys. You’re a soldier across seas and you use a fucking gun? Disgraceful. Man up and get dirty killing someone slowly and painfully for the both of you with a blade or blunt object. Nobody uses guns anymore. And then scientists would be pressured to make lightsabers quicker. It’s a win-win!

Guns are a bit of a hot button issue, especially after gun related incidents. I wholeheartedly believe that politicians use these incidents and their exaggerated outrage as self-marketing to boost their approval ratings and help them get elected again. I have very little faith that politicians actually care about the people.
I believe America should adopt common sense gun controls. This includes requiring every gun owner to attend a mandatory gun safety class.
Any one who hunts already has to take hunters safety, but that's only folks who want a hunting license. There are plenty of people who buy guns for defensive purposes or just because they Like Guns. I live in rural Wyoming, which is like, 90 percent of Wyoming. In my county of nearly 47,000 people, there has been 57 self induced gun injuries in the last year. Some due to a slip up, most due to ignorance.
I don't shoot, I don't find it fun, but my dad taught me how as a kid in case it was something I wanted/had to do. It was the most terrifying experience of my life. Dad drilled into me gun safety by screaming at me when I did something wrong. He was scared I was going to hurt myself and wanted to make sure I would never do it again. It sucked, but it was effective, and I'm glad he did it. The basic gun safety I learned was:
Don't point your gun at something your aren't prepared to shoot, loaded or not.
NEVER WALK IN FRONT OF SOMEONE WITH A GUN EVEN IF THEY ARENT AIMING.
Treat every gun as if it's loaded, even if you know it isn't.
Treat every gun as if the safety if off, even if you know it's on.
Do not look down the barrel of your own gun. See point 1.
If you think you may have something in the barrel, use a cleaning brush to remove it. If you fire your gun when something it stuck in the barrel, it may stop the bullet and explode in your hand.
Clean your gun regularly. Dad's rule of thumb is to clean it after 5 uses. Not bullets, but after the fifth time you go shooting, clean your gun. This doesn't only extend the life of your gun, but also let's you see if anything is wrong with it, or if parts need replaced.
Practice taking apart and putting back together your gun before you use it. This helps prevent incidents due to incorrect placement of parts.
Put your target on something solid that a bullet won't go through. This ensures that you don't accidentally shoot someone from a distance, or as we where more worried about, someones horse. Dad used his back hoe to dig into a hill on our property to use as a shooting range.
If you are planning to use your gun to hunt, practice with it at a shooting range first, so you know what to expect, especially with the recoil. Many of the injuries this past year were dislocated shoulders from recoil.
Just straight up don't take your gun out of the safe if small children are around. Kids don't know shit and they're curious.
Wait until your child is around 10-11 to teach them how to shoot, and be very serious about it. Stress the importance of gun safety and ensure that they know that while you may be shooting because you enjoy it, guns are dangerous and could hurt or kill people. They are not toys.
This is not an exhaustive list of rules, but the most important one that I have been taught. Whether for fun, defense, or sport, follow gun safety rules to reduce the risk of injuring yourself or others.

Okay. I'm gonna make a post here.
Reminder to PLEASE tag your US politics. A lot of people use tumblr as an escape, and there's also people on this site who are not from the US. This way, it can be easier for these people to filter that content.

I thought this was an interesting read. Especially, coming from a authoritative country like Japan. I do not own or have not contributed to any of the articles posted here.

tw // gun mention
it's crazy that the comment that zac made in the live epilogue of season one in gencon about guns is still relevant "it's 1991, wait, nothing's changed". i'm european and it's fucking crazy to me that this has been going on, this issue, for so fucking long a reference, a joke, a debate can be seen in several pieces of media around the fucking globe.
america has seen several instances of the impact of the problem, every possible example come to life in almost every situation, and some people, people in power even, still try to argue it's sane, its actually logical, apparently, to have several laws that allow it to happen again and again freely.

Do United States cops have a duty to protect you? On June 27th, 2005, in Castle Rock v. Gonzales, the Supreme Court found the police have no Constitutional obligation to protect individuals from private individuals. In 1856, the U.S. Supreme Court found in South v. Maryland that law enforcement officers had no affirmative duty to provide such protection. In 1982 (Bowers v. DeVito), the Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit held, …there is no Constitutional right to be protected by the state against being murdered by criminals or madmen. …The Constitution…does not require the federal government or the state to provide … Continue reading →
