QuoteTeen commits suicide after accidentally shooting friend: cops

QuoteA Georgia teen took his own life after he shot and killed his friend in a New Year’s Eve accident, according to police.

Gwinnett County Police said Devin Hodges, 15, was showing off the gun to three other pals Monday afternoon in Lawrenceville when he accidentally fired a shot.

Two for the price of one.

The Christian church, in its attitude toward science, shows the mind of a more or less enlightened man of the Thirteenth Century. It no longer believes that the earth is flat, but it is still convinced that prayer can cure after medicine fails.

I prefer knife fights.  More action, more bloodshed, less death.  They can be patched up and put back in the arena to fight again.  Got gladiators?

I will be fine with disarming the government ... you should to, since you want the US cops to be disarmed UK bobbies.  Perhaps you can find Mary Poppins.

I'm reading an interesting book, called The Trigger, by Arthur C. Clarke. It's about a hopeful, accidentally discovered "trigger" that can detonate nitrate-based explosives, such as gun ammo and various other explosives. The scientists want it to be used to stop all gun violence in the world, while the government - well, it's the government, and so has other ideas.

I'm so sick of this "we need to have guns to protect us from the government" bullshit. 



Give it up, B.  It's a metric fuckton of nonsense.

As a pro-government person ... I am happy if "you" disarm.  Some girls dig amputees ;-)

On New Year's Eve, not too far from me, a woman was seriously wounded by celebratory gunfire.  (bottle rockets and roman candles are illegal around here because someone might get hurt)

People fire their guns into the air, and don't realize that what goes up must come down. Unfortunately, they're not the ones who get hit by falling bullets.

My dad and I did this once, with a 22 rifle.  Not a good idea ;-(

Which is why you need to lose your car or truck.  Proles should walk.  It is good for you.

Nice!  Every statistic shows that a family death by owning a gun is more likely than by facing one.  But the gun nuts think "yeah, but not ME".  And most of them are 2nd amendment fanatics.

A bizarre thing is that I might be a safe person to own a gun.  I live alone, no children or angry family member to worry about, and I'm not the least suicidal.  So naturally, I don't have one.

Agreed regarding Wild West fantasies.  And I am safe with a gun also.  I take them very seriously.  We have never had a gun accident in our family.

Well, I do have a few Gladiuses hidden around the house.  Do they count?  And it would take a crazy person to attack a chef near his knife block.  You wouldn't believe how evil a deli-knife is.

But I keep all the doors locked all day.  And with sturdy bars across the deck doors. 

Actually, no, the vast majority of people will never experience a break in.  That is mostly a fear of people who watch too much Fox News.
