@ai6yr is that the guy who said he’d put the safety on next time? Dumbasses keeping loaded guns in their beds are not destined for long lives.

@swart I'm having difficulty understanding folks who are so afraid they keep a loaded gun under their pillow. FFS people. I wonder how often people kill themselves in that kind of situation.

@swart Not unheard of... 2023:

Chicago-area man shoots himself while dreaming of intruder, then arrested on gun charges

@ai6yr @swart these are all pathetic wasters, going to guess they are single, creepy and entitled.

@Lazarou @swart Here's another one. I only mention it because of "shot himself in the scrotum"

@swart @Lazarou @feonixrift WAIT, THIS ONE IS BETTER (From March 9th... how often do Americans do things stupid with a gun?)

ABC 13: Man accidentally shot self in foot while attempting to kill cockroach

3/9/25

"DETROIT (WKRC) - A man accidentally shot himself in the foot while trying to kill a cockroach in an unlucky and unfortunate series of events.

Police said that the victim, a 50-year-old man who uses a wheelchair, was attempting to kill a cockroach with his shoe.

He took off his shoe and threw it at the bug to kill it, but a revolver he had hidden in the shoe fell to the ground. Upon making contact with the floor, the gun discharged and the bullet hit the victim in the foot."

@ai6yr @swart @Lazarou @feonixrift "A revolver he had hidden in his shoe [that he had just been wearing]" I'd think that would make the shoe very uncomfortable even when he wasn't actually being shot by it.

@mattblaze @swart @Lazarou @feonixrift LOL you'd think that "cockroach shoots man with gun" would be in The Onion, but... no.

@ai6yr @mattblaze @swart @Lazarou @feonixrift

i guess cockroaches are tired of the whole "i hear cockroaches can live through being microwaved" and started packing heat? :)

@paul_ipv6 @ai6yr @mattblaze @swart @Lazarou @feonixrift
Guy was in a wheelchair, so I guess he was not actually walking with a revolver hidden in his shoe. And he was not actually trying to shot the cockroach. But then, I wonder why he would carry a gun that way. Just imagine the scenario: "Wait a minute, mister highway robber, I need to retrieve the gun in my shoe and scare you off?"

@huitema @paul_ipv6 @mattblaze @swart @Lazarou @feonixrift Perhaps (hear me out), the cockroaches are the ones that put him in the wheelchair in the FIRST PLACE, and were there to FINISH THE JOB?!

@ai6yr @huitema @paul_ipv6 @mattblaze @swart @Lazarou @feonixrift I know people who are married and both spouses sleep with guns nearby and they're always strapped. It's gotta be really bad for your mental well-being to feel like you're constantly in moral danger and require lethal force at the ready. These are people who do not live in dangerous or rough neighborhoods.

@douglasvb @huitema @paul_ipv6 @mattblaze @swart @Lazarou @feonixrift I notice they tend to live in gated neighborhoods, too. The amount of fear in those folks lives is really overwhelming.
