Police: Gun safety lesson goes awry when dad accidentally shoots son

A father accidently shot his son in the thigh/buttocks area during a
gun safety lesson yesterday in his apartment in the 900 block of North
96th Street, according to the Seattle Police Department.

I’ll let the SPD take it from here, as I think they really nail the
irony in the incident:

They were showing each other their handguns and explaining to each
other the proper way to safely load/unload and disassemble the
different makes and models of each other’s handguns.

The father had just finished showing his son how to properly make his
gun safe and was about to hand the gun to the son when the father
pulled the trigger.

The son was transported to Harborview Medical Center with
non-life-threatening injuries. According to police, it was reported
the son had shot himself in the initial 911 call.

So, using that logic, this:

proves that cars and especially 4-wheel-drives should be outlawed.

Cars singular purpose is not to kill, unlike guns.

I have more guns than I have cars. I have never killed anybody. So,
what does that prove?

Not a friggin' thing! But it does prove that you have no skill in
determining the value or equivalency of debate points.

You need a remedial course in how correlation and causation do and
don't relate.

Maybe there is hope for you, yet. Now, would you like to revisit the
abjectly foolish position that the only purpose of guns is to kill?

That is, since we are considering correlation and causation?

And you think the profuse number of weapons available has nothing to
do with their use as weapons of aggression or tools of vigilantaism
and retribution?

You would be a fool to disagree, but I'm sure you will.

I probably would be, but there is no point, since I've found it
imprudent to argue with a fool.

It seems they always drag you down to their level and beat you with
experience. Having drunk the kool-aid, believe what you will.

Ahhhhh, but you have engaged in argument and you are therefore a fool.

I see the news about innocent people being shot and killed every day
by people who others "never thought capable" but I'm the one who's
drinking the kool-aid. You betcha. We call that willful ignorance.
You know the truth and you can't abide because you've bought into
excuse making bull****.

Just like the 1% who think they're special because they need to
rationalize their existence.

It's okay, we all do it. You go on, it's your life.
