Both tragic and stupid. If you guessed white guys, you are correct.

The most basic firearm safety rules were obviously ignored.

Did they do a coin-toss to see who went first?

A Darwin Award given to only one of the two finalists.

Stupid is quite frequently lethal.

This is as it should be.

I wonder how that conversation went

Sean: Hey Aaron. I’ve got an idea. Let’s shoot each other in the head with these rifles I have here.

Aaron: I don’t know. I think I’d rather go get ice cream instead

Sean: No, it will be fun. C’mon. We can get ice cream after.

Aaron: Oh. OK.

First thing I learned, drilled into me by a Marine Gunnery Sergeant uncle… “Never point a rifle at something you don’t intend to destroy”.

Second thing I learned… Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

Third thing I learned… Darwin awards are real and often teach painful lessons.

Apparently, these two Jarheads ignored all three of those.

It’s a sad story and should not have happened.

“A Darwin Award given to only one of the two finalists.”

If the surviving shooter goes to prison for life, with no conjugal visits, and is thus prevented from fathering children, is he also eligible for a Darwin Award?

Maybe both of them can get it!
