I think that all the media attention given to firearms in the past few
years (including the Zimmerman trial) has served to embolden some
irresponsible gun nuts who really shouldn't own one. The vast majority
of gun owners would never respond to a teenage prank by shooting at them.

The "vast majority of gun owners" weren't in this man's predicament.
Got nothing to do with the news media.
Guns are made and sold for shooting.
No surprise here.



Guns are made and sold for shooting but the decision to do so is up to
the owner. This guy made the wrong choice and it's very possible it was
influenced by media coverage of SYG laws.


I don't think this guy was thinking SYG. I think he was trying to scare the **** out of the kids.
But, he blew it. I also don't think this idiot represents more than the extreme outliers of gun
owners - that 4th standard deviation bunch.
