A bullet is just like a social media post, once you mash the button, it ain’t never coming back.

Death by stupidity. The dead guy was showing how the safety wouldn’t allow the gun to go off by putting it to his head and pulling the trigger.

That’s not the way to bring new people into the shooting community.

Tragic maybe, but not funny. As boneheaded of a move as that might have been, someone is dead. If he is survived by family members, they will be without the deceased forever.

This fool was no more demonstrating the safety on a gun than he was trying to kill himself. What kind of "safety" had this fellow taught in the past?
He clearly did not know the FIRST THING about safety. There is only ONE reliable safety and he put a bullet through it.
To: Garth Tater
Years ago a man in Toronto wanted to prove how safe the windows in an office building were.He ran down the hall at full speed, crashed through the floor to ceiling window, and plunged several stories to his death.

Don’t worry honey

Now that you put it that way, it is never appropriate to laugh at idiots removing themselves doing idiotic things.

And his friend is now jumping out of his skin at the sound of every door shutting or car backfiring.

In movies, this kind of stuff is funny, hilarious. I think it reflects very badly on our postmodern culture and institutions that we seem to have a seemingly endless supply of mental midgets handling loaded firearms.

Now that you put it that way, it is never appropriate to laugh at idiots removing themselves doing idiotic things. Sometimes, however, it is appropriate to provide applause. . .
