Colorado teen shot in the face by town councilman after going to home to ask permission to take homecoming photos

we really need to at the very least make training a requirement, even just a written exam would help…

Cue gun nuts, "...shall not be infringed!"

You can’t train out the stupid.

I’ve taken regular gun safety classes. They’re less stringent than a driver’s ed class. It’s like taking the driver safety class after you’ve gotten a ticket. Yeah, yeah…let’s just get through this shit so I can get back to whatever.

I live in a state with an online training requirement and it's a joke. The employees at sporting goods stores actually encouraged me to quickly click through to the end and print the results.

As someone who supports firearm ownership, I also believe it should require a background check, a thorough psychological evaluation, and equally thorough, in-person safety training and testing, all repeated periodically in order to maintain ownership.

All he had to go off was a vehicle with 2 teenagers inside and the call from his girlfriend that there were trespassers on the property. Depending on what exactly was said on the call and what happened between him blocking the vehicle in and the shot, he might just have shit trigger discipline and his girlfriend is the one who is super scared of anyone she sees on their security cameras. He is still an idiot for trying to block their vehicle in any case though.
