Film / Crime Today in Why I Don't Trust People with Guns
Posted by Paul Constant on Wed, Aug 15, 2012 at 2:29 PM
Remember when NRA flacks were claiming that if other moviegoers had guns in the theater where the Aurora shooting took place, lives would be saved? This headline is the perfect rebuttal to that line of thinking:
Nevada moviegoer shoots himself in buttocks, apologizes, leaves theater
He dropped his gun during a showing of The Bourne Legacy, it went off, and it shot him in the ass. He has a permit for that gun. I don't feel any safer.
