    Maybe one of the most literal instances of “Man Bites Dog” I’ve ever seen. There’s even a dog involved!

    “Police responding to reports of a shotgun blast at a convenience store sounds like the opening of countless American crime movies[…]” No, it sounds like the beginning of a normal day in America.

    I see, when it’s a dog we use the active voice but when it’s a white nationalist we use the passive voice.

    No but on a more serious note, why are people who are this unsafe with guns allowed to be gun owners in the US? It’s okay though because next time a good guy with a gun will be there to kill the dog before it kills someone.

      there is no test for ‘safe gun owner’. most states don’t even require a license if it’s a shotgun. all you need is an state ID and a background check.

      only five states require a gun license. 45 do not.

      there are no qualifications for gun ownership in Nebraska.

      only a 5 states require a license for a shot gun, in the form of a Firearms ID. They require no coursework on training.

      Typically you only need to take a gun safety class if you are buying a handgun, and even then only a dozen states require that.

          do you live in Nebraska? you are welcome to move there and participate in their politics and change the laws.

          but I don’t think you’re interested in doing that.

      She wasn’t killed but your point stands: The headline, while obviously being clickbaity and maybe even trying to be funny hides the underlying problem:

      Somehow, the dog had triggered the shotgun – which had a live round chambered – to fire, damaging the vehicle and striking a female passerby.

      […]

      It is illegal in Nebraska to drive with a loaded shotgun in your vehicle.
