Guns don't kill people, Idiots with guns kill people

I apologize ahead of time for the serious nature of this particular blog. While I may write other blogs that contain serious topics, I also plan on writing blogs that are light-hearted and fun. But this is my rant...

So Thanksgiving weekend provided solid evidence that guns don't kill people, idiots with guns kill people.

Take the Toys 'R' Us shooting. You have two people who have a beef with each other take LOADED GUNS to a TOY STORE filled with CHILDREN. These two people end up shooting and killing each other in front of who knows how many people. First idiotic move, bringing a loaded gun with you to shop. I mean, why the hell do you need a loaded gun with you while you shop???

The next example doesn't involve a death, at least not of a life, maybe just a career. Plaxico Burress signed a five (or seven) year contract worth 35 million dollars at the beginning of the season. While out on the town "nursing his hamstring," his gun falls down his pants and goes off, sending a bullet through his leg. He them proceeds to try to cover this up. A) he has a loaded gun stuffed in his pants B) the safety is not on C) he does not have a permit for the gun D) he tries to cover all this up by providing a false name at the hospital E) the doctor treating him goes along with that plan (yet another idiot) F) and I don't even know what to say here except if I was making 5-7 million dollars a year, I would hire a bodyguard to carry my gun if I thought I needed one.

Ah, but these are only two examples that made it into the mainstream media over Thanksgiving. Earlier this year, a man shot and killed two people over the Alabama-LSU football game. The same thing happened last year after the South Carolina-Clemson game. Gun violence happens all the time, but maybe we should start calling it dumb people gun violence.

I mean, REALLY?
