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.
5 witty retorts:
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?
The paper also said that he had been drinking at the time. Drinking and guns = double dumbass dangerous fool.
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.
