Sad story.  

 

http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl.../86483476/

 

 

Have to wonder about why he wasn't charged when he attempted to flee from police with two loaded guns in Dec '15 after discharging one of them in a residential neighborhood.  Perhaps if he'd been charged - his probation terms would have kept him from fumbling around in his car with two loaded handguns. 

 

I wish these young men would just hire trained private security to handle their weapons/protection.  Such a waste of a vibrant young life. 
We need gun control...

We have it. Getting idiot control is impossible.

It sucks to hear of a tragedy like this. A guy who essentially was doing nothing wrong dies in a freak accident. He was a legal, licensed gun owner. The only thing is he possibly could have done more to keep his weapons secured.

 

Still very sad to see a young life ended prematurely through an awful accident. RIP.

Sarcasm font was missing.
This dude was arrested before for firing an AR-15 into his GF's house. He was no responsible gun owner.

Guns have a safety lock for a reason....

It's not just safety locks.  It's clear that this gun wasn't properly stowed if it discharged removing a bag from a car.  I've got guns that you could throw against a brick wall that would never accidentally discharge, and they don't have safeties.  The trigger is the safety.

 

This is a tragedy that is the result of someone not understanding how to transport a firearm properly. and that's gun ownership 101 type stuff that is just common sense.

And probably the only Clots running back to find a hole in 2016. rip

So no clots RB found any holes in 2016? Believable.

Hard to say.... Since the 2016 season hasn't been played yet.

Seems like the clots payed a game on Jan 03, 2016 against the tacks. I think it can be said.

I have never even seen a gun, I'm 27. Are guns really that common in the US?

We have more guns than people.
Did anyone else learn this in school?  Now that I'm thinking back, I don't really think this is true.

You don't travel to London very often, I'm assuming. Big Grin

It's true if and only if there's one or more resource that's used for both military and non-military production that is insufficient (unskilled labour, for example)...
