Dumb Idahoans - Man Shoots at Helicopter

source
In December, I wrote a post about guns and idiots.  I argued that some people just shouldn't have guns, because they're too irresponsible (or just plain stupid) to be trusted with a firearm.

I believe the majority of us US Citizens should have the right to own a firearm, but armed idiots scare me.  Responsible vs irresponsible gun ownership is the crux of my argument, and I think there are more irresponsible gun owners out there who are a danger to themselves and others.

Case in point, this story about an Idaho man who shot at a helicopter.  Apparently he was out hunting, and didn't like the helicopter interrupting his hunt.  Out of frustration, he fired at the chopper.

Sorry dude.  That's a felony, and felons can't own guns in the US.  Looks like you just lost your right to own a firearm... that is, when you get out of jail.  The man pleaded guilty and will be in prison for the next 4 to 8 years.


Luckily nobody was hurt, but this is a prime example of the dumbass rule.  If you're a dumbass, you shouldn't have grown-up things.  He proved his dumbassery and was punished accordingly.

Thanks for proving my theory.  I knew I could count on someone from Idaho to prove, once again, that some people just shouldn't have guns.

    Bruce Willis is always shooting at helicopters and driving cars at them and stuff but nobody minds when he does it.

    I thought Joseph Gordon Levitt took offense to that and tried to teach him a lesson?

    How do you prove that someone is a dumbass before they purchase or try to purchase a gun?

    Now that was just plain stupid. Why did he think that shooting at a helicopter was okay? I bet that they had cops waiting on him as soon as he exited the woods. They need to give a competency test for gun ownership.
