    Why was a loaded gun on the bed? That seems like terrible firearm safety.

      But then you’d have to buy a third gun to protect you from the second one

    The victim told police that before the incident, he was cleaning his firearm

    getting shot by own gun and cleaning it, these often come together, maybe is safer to keep them dirty

      If you get shot cleaning your gun you have MAJORLY fucked up.

      Like, you have to try to be that level of stupid and it still happens. People are just incredibly dumb it would seem. I mean, I know we must have a ton of morons in this country in order for Trump to get elected because … Everything.

      Somehow he was cleaning it and it still had rounds to fire or he cleaned and reloaded and left it unsecured so it had rounds to fire. Sounds like sort of person who should own a gun for sure.

    Too dumb to live. What idiot leaves a gun ready to fire, probably with safety off, unsupervised?
