Hollonbeck admitted to his actions and said he was “afraid for his daughter’s safety and didn’t know who she was with or that she had left without permission,” according to the report.
Oh, well if he didn’t know then it’s perfectly understandable to point a gun at an underpaid taxi driver.
I thought pointing guns at people who you thought wanted to sleep with your daughter was something out of bad jokes and old movies. Apparently not.
Going to guess he considers himself a responsible gun owner.
Bigfoot, Mothman and the Responsible Gun Owner are my favorite mythological creatures of American folklore.
I actually am a responsible gun owner. I keep my guns locked up when I’m not going to the range, and I store the ammo separately. When I clean my guns, I always check the chamber to verify it is empty. I have been shooting guns since I was about 8, and I’ve never had a negligent discharge and never will with how anal I am about gun safety.
The only reason I don’t carry is that I don’t have the money for it right now, and I don’t feel I am a good enough shot. I am only confident at 20 to 25 feet.
Well that’s good, but even if we are generous and say half the ~80 million gun owners in the US, are as responsible with their weapons as you are; that leaves a fuckton of gun wielders who are not responsible.
I am not outright anti-gun, but it makes no sense to me it took two tests and several weeks of waiting, to get a driver’s license; and if I want to do e.g. more than basic electrical or plumbing changes in my home, I should get a permit and there will be an inspection. Yet I could waltz into a store, buy guns like I was a personal army, and at worst I would have to wait a couple days to pick them up. As far as I know, there are 0 requirements or inspections for if you have a gun safe; let alone any form of test or licensing of if you are just barely competent and safe weilding them.
Every gun owner is a responsible gun owner until they aren’t.
No, no they aren’t. Some people were never responsible gun owners to begin with, regardless of anyone’s beliefs around guns.
Most people I know I wouldn’t even trust with a grilled cheese sandwich.
dude i have fucked up the roof of my mouth on more than 1 grilled cheese
That’s why we don’t give you guns.
Guns would definitely fuck up the roof of my mouth :(
