CNN is reporting that three people were injured at the gun show in Raleigh, not two as originally reported. All were victims of a shotgun that fired while the owner was removing it from a case.

UPDATED: 5 People Shot At 3 Different Gun Shows On Gun Appreciation Day

An idiot with a loaded shotgun in a case and 2 idiots that can't safely load their weapons?
All this out of a couple hundred thousand gun at shows around the country?

Let's look at The Chicago Tribune. Let's see what happened today in a cty where there are no legal guns to speak of.

Two similar incidents occurred at entirely separate gun shows in the Midwest, one in the Cleveland suburb of Medina, Ohio and the other at the state fairgrounds in Indianapolis, Indiana. In Ohio, the local ABC affiliate reports that one individual was brought to a hospital by EMS, and in Indiana Channel 8 WISH says that an individual shot himself in the hand while trying to reload his gun in the show parking lot. That brings the tally to 4 victims of gun violence so far at three different gun shows during the country’s first Gun Appreciation Day.

It's funny for happening on Gun Appreciation Day, in the middle of a national debate on guns. Sorry.

Funny AND ironic.

 

[Synthaholic]

Yeah, it's bad. Is that your point?

I agree with you: TOO MANY GUNS!!!

Accidental. Of no more interest or importance than someone who presses a gas pedal when they didn't intend to.

 

[Spoonman]

just curious, where there and auto fatalities today? or any other accidental deaths today?

Probably.

Do you want to get rid of cars?

I don't think that would help the economy much.

 

[Triton]

who cares, there could be 10 times more incidents like this. The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, the gun grabbers will not win.

Probably people directly affected by irresponsible gun owners.

I'm guessing you're not one of those affected.

humor is often sick. what's your point?


context. it's funny in a sad way. some people would wonder why Gun Shows aren't as safe as the mean streets

considering how much gin show nuts like to talk about safety and being responsible...this could not come at a better time.

they are? tell that to the people who were shot. it's like hit-by-lightning stats., I don't golf so my risk is lower than some. I don't swim when storms are approaching...

To paraphrase Rahm Emanuel, "never let a shooting go to waste" if you can make an ignorant political point out of it.

Uummmm, your implication appeared to be a comparison between the two, I referenced the statistical, not the emotive..........
