Steve Kerr's Passionate Personal Stand on Gun Control

Unregulated is another falsehood. Now you might argue under regulated but unregulated is false. Background checks, ban on assault rifles for example.

The point is - it is way to easy to for regular joe shmo to buy a gun in USA.

It's fine you feel that way. But it is not something that will change nationally any time soon.

I disagree. It is WAY TOO EASY for a mentally unstable person, or a person with bad intentions to get a gun. I have no problem with regular joe shmo having a gun.

Many people go from being a regular Joe Shmo to being mentally unstable.
 
True Story. My dad used to run marathons very competitively years ago. On one long 20+ mile training run, he happened to come across a hunter with his muzzle loader. Now, keep in mind, I grew up on the edge of millions of acres of forest in the Pine Barrens and this is where this incident occurred. Anyhow, my father, the smartass that he is, as he ran by, said, "Ya huntin' a screwy wabbit?" in his best Elmer Fudd voice. Needless to say, maybe a second or two after, he was scared ****less, realizing this guy could shoot, kill him, and dispose of his body in the middle of nowhere, no one having a clue as to what happened.
Did he?

I've never been remotely worried about hunters in the woods, but there is an old saying out here: Why do hunters all wave to each other? Because they all have guns.
 
If we are at the point of telling dumb stories...

When I was 16 I went archery hunting with a friend. That was illegal for a minor at the time but that's beside the point. I was driving out of a one way dirt road and almost near the top when three cute lil tiny s-10 Chevies pulled down. I stopped, they stopped. The wife in the passenger seat immediately started screaming. I thought this bitch was going to eat her way through the windshield.

I couldn't back down 4 miles. It's impossible and they only had about 50 yards of simple back up. When this hoebag started yelling through the windshield I put my head out the window and said "back the **** up". Oops. Bitch continues screaming but surprisingly they backed up. At the top of the hill, Mr. Douche wants to have a discussion so young franklin pulls over for him and what were likely his two 25-ish suns behind him.

The guy is approaching me angrily and one of his son gets out brandishing a 44 mag and shoves it down his backside. I panicked and punched that ****er in the throat and dropped the clutch and nearly ran his *** over.


I felt bad for a while that I nearly killed someone, even though that grown man thought it was reasonable to approach a child in the middle of nowhere with his adult children. Coincidentally, this guy just happened to be in my LDS stake (I say coincidentally because I was about 2 hours from home instead of in the nearby hills). I went to a Saturday youth basketball game and it turns out that guy and his family were such assholes that nearly everyone there wanted to beat the hell out of them. It generally takes quite a bit for LDS people to lose there cool inside a ward house like that. After that I wished I had backed up.
 
See, thats main difference in american and other world mentality. In my honest opinion there is absolutely no need for regular Joe to have a gun. Regular Joes do just fine in Canada, Australia, etc.

Authorities say a 14-year-old boy was accidentally shot and killed by his father at a Florida gun range. William Brumby was firing his weapon at the High Noon Gun Range in Sarasota on Sunday when a spent shell casing deflected off a nearby wall and landed inside his shirt. A statement from the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office says Brumby tried to remove the shell and accidentally fired the gun at his son, who was standing directly behind him. The boy, Stephen J. Brumby, later died at a local hospital. The father's two other children were with him but were not injured.



Man that is so sad

Being at a busy gun range has always made me very nervous. You can see that the partitions between the shooting lanes have been shot a half-dozen times, really makes you wonder.

Terrible that he killed his own son. I don't know how a person could live with that.
