Another case of a stupid person

[bingley]

Its funny that you say this, but not funny that it is true. It seems to be a phenom directed only at things opposed by liberals such as guns. Think of the situation if a guy had run a car into some people. Noone would think "wow, this is gonna make all car owners look bad..." But a gun! Now there is something that should be stereotyped if there ever was one!

This is not really a liberal vs. conservative thing. Think of the following examples:

• "Incarcerated Hispanic youth makes all Latinos look bad."
• "American pedophile sex tourists make all of us Americans look bad."

And even some car examples:

• "The rich jerk who flips people off while driving around in his Z4 makes us BMW owners look bad."
• "He is so condescending to people who drive older, less gas-efficient cars that he makes all of us Prius owners look bad."

All these statements come from a self-consciousness. You know you belong to a distinct group, and some members of your group make the news, but in a bad way. They reflect poorly on the honor of your group. You make statements such as above because you are self-conscious. There is no reason to drag politics into it.

I'm not doing this to pick on anyone, but I have noticed that many people seem to go immediately to gun politics for an explanatory framework, when there are other possibilities. Let's keep our eyes open.

Just agreeing with the posts here. If real weapons are used then all pertinent laws apply such as having a permit to use the weapon. This guy as a felon could not have had a valid permit! He had no business being in a wild west show unless he portrayed some unarmed town citizen.

That is absolutely stupid, and it SHOULD be illegal to be so stupid! Too bad he wasn't doing a wild west comedy routine that involved him pretending to "accidentally" shoot himself in the nuts.

Agreed about the nut shot. Enough of that blood line contaminating the gene pool.
