TLDR: man lures teens into his home by leaving his house wide open so he could shoot and kill them.

The absolute sicko made audio recordings where he floated about killing them.

This is the absolute truth. I personally know a guy who pulls out a huge roll of money just to buy a $1 pop from a machine at night. He carries, has been for years. He is trying to get someone to mug him. You know why.

Sounds like my former coworker showing off his new gun on Facebook a few years back, with the post "I can't wait to use this to defend my family."

People like to think that because they own a gun, if they ever got to use it they would be John Wick.

That's the sort of person who shouldn't own a firearm. That should actually be added as a question for the background check form.

As someone seriously considering their first firearm purchase, my main thought is "I hope this is a gigantic waste of time and money".

Please, Please, Please let the second continuation of this comic be him hearing a doorbell, grabbing some of his guns, then looking through the door's peep hole to see two Mormon's in suits holding a Bible.

Lol I have several guns. Some I don't know if I even have ammo for them at all.

I can't imagine the mindset these types of owners have. They are afraid and they want to murder someone. I can't imagine

Hell, the few rifles I have are stored with the firing bolts removed and locked up separately.

That's really what it comes down to.

These people want an "excuse" to murder someone.

[–] SomeAmateur@sh.itjust.works 17 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Yes those people do

And then there's a ton of people that have guns, train when they can and hope they never have to use their skills outside of the range or competitions. We never ever hear about them because they are normal people
