The far right gun nuts thought a "gun appreciation day" would be a good idea to "stick it to Obama and da libs" though it backfired on them big time, literally.
Six different people were shot during the right winger's gun spank fest.
Keep it going GOP! 2014 keeps looking better and better!
"Gun activists designated last Saturday “Gun Appreciation Day” in an attempt to highlight their opposition to gun safety laws. The PR stunt proved to be more of an embarrassment, however, when 5 people were shot at 3 different gun shows on Gun Appreciation Day.
On Friday afternoon, an Iowa gun dealer closed out the week by becoming the sixth person shot at a gun show. The man claims he was “showing off a .25 caliber pistol he thought was unloaded when he slid the action of the gun.” The gun was not unloaded, and a bullet went through his left palm."

How many people were shot on purpose in Chicago that day?
What, by hardened gang members??
Give me a ******* break. Apples to oranges.
Apples to oranges? The thread is about a half dozen people getting injured at gun shows. No one died or was hurt very seriously at all. These were LEGAL gun shows attended by (mostly) people exercising their Constitutional rights,
You (broad sense) want to ridicule or shame law abiding citizens who were careless, but ignore the real damage guns in the hands of those legally forbidden to possess them does.
20 kids and 7 adults died in a single incident before Christmas when someone who obviously should not have been in possession of firearms, shot his way into a school. A well armed responsible adult likely could have ended the threat with one well placed shot, changing the death toll from 27 to 1.
Hell no! Schools shouldn't have armed guards! The poor kiddys will be all afraid of the scarry looking black guns.
How scared do you suppose those 20 first graders were when they realized they were on their own?
So 27 died in a few minutes and the left trots out a bill that failed the first time around. 10 people die EVERY week in Chicago, but because they're mostly blacks shooting other blacks, you do nothing.
If a white guy walked into a South Side school and shot 7 black kids, Sharpton, Jackson and all their sycophants would be on site within the hour, but 7 blacks shot on the streets by in most cases, other blacks and we get crickets.
No, not apples and oranges. My post was about hypocrisy and you know it.
