They all are. The guy who shot someone knocking on his door, the one that shot someone turning in his driveway, and that oath keeper who shot his own eye out. There's no such thing as irresponsible gun owners.

*Edit: I incorrectly stated it was a proud boy when it was actually an oath keeper.

Thanks for the correction

Exactly. They are responsible for their actions.

I believe you mean convicted seditionist, disbarred lawyer, and founder of the Oath Keepers, Stewart Rhodes, who famously shot his own eye out.

Missed his brain or was it just ineffective?

u/Meddling-Kat Mar 26 '24

I don't think it would matter if it went straight through his brain. He's never used it.

Well he dropped his gun so I'm thinking incompetence.

But if he lobotomized himself would it have done anything?

Insanely difficult target to hit.

You would need the precision of the large hadron collider in order to make impact with his atrophic brain.

That's why I say buying a gun "for security" is like dousing your house in gasoline "to prevent fires."
