Not everyone should have the right to own guns...

That is unbelievable....but probably true.

Looks like it was listed on Jay Leno's website as an odd news story from 1994.
Alcohol involved, suprise! Still involves a certain amount of stupid to mix firearms and alcohol.

I say let the stupid people own guns. Because we are going to let them all have a drivers license. I figure I have a greater chance of somebody running me over then shooting me.

What a idiot that guy was, any smart guy would have had his foot cut off, so he would shoot his foot no more

Good point.
Stupid people will probably shoot themself first before they shoot us anyway so lets let them have guns.

The off duty police officer checking guns at the Evansville gun show shot himself on two separate occasions back in the late 90's.

To All,

This just goes to prove Darwin was right!

You know how many cavemen died "sharpening their spears"?

Answer: Three (3) - AND THEY DID NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE GENE POOL!

Thus, we moved from cromagnon to modern man!

This is why we should make it mandatory for everyone to own a firearm. Think about it.
With all the cleaning mistakes we could evolve into Jedi Knights within 3 or 4 generations...

You're bothered by this story? Just stop and think for a second; they also vote! The difference between ignorance and stupid? You can fix ignorance.

The original story is down, but here's a link to the Fark.com comments. May contain NSFW language. Google is your friend.

I wouldn't worry too much, this happened six years ago, and I'm sure Darwinism has caught up to him by now.

if true you have to appriciate his accuracy. three shots from a cold bore of three different wepons all on target......Good shootin' Tex!

 

[Spazzmodicus]

Yup...this sounds more like a home-made joke or urban myth. On the other hand though, I could see somebody shooting themselves in the foot by trying to decock a 1911(rather than unloading it first). They've got pretty snappy hammers.
