Good ole Texas, at least she got shot with a manly ak47!

I'm sure he was a responsible gun owner.

19 and cleaning his many guns!
The little redneck isn't old enough to buy beer!
Daddy is proud

Guns shouldn't be able to be accidentally fired while being clean. Defective product.

Happens weekly

 

[tekkychick]

Happens weekly

doesn't mean they aren't defective.

If car tires blew up every week while being inflated, we'd call them defective...

 

[Topspin]

I'm guessing human/redneck error!

 

[Topspin]

Wonder if daddy was an NRA guy!

 

[BRUTALITOPS]

still worth it.

why do you liberals even care? it's mostly conservatives offing themselves anyway. You should be happy.

 

[Topspin]

Guess the brother could ba an NRA member.

 

[Topspin]

Can a gun nut comment, don't they go off while cleaning all the time!

They ALL are, don't ya know!

Responsible right up to the point someone shoots another accidentally.

no defective operator

the first thing that a trained firearms user learns is, is the firearm that i am holding loaded or unloaded. this is a simple thing to do. treating a firearm as unloaded without checking it is foolish and i think criminal.

At some point, when person after person after person dies because they were cleaning a firearm that happens to still have a bullet in it- I personally think it is a product flaw. But that is my opinion; obviously many disagree.

Rednecks and their gun cleaning!
Gotta love em

I guess, in this instance, we have to see the silver lining in this tragedy in the fact that the long range prognosis for humanity's gene pool might have improved ever so slightly.

how would you suggest that such a design change be made. someone could just pick up a firearm and start cleaning the outside and pull the trigger
