    True. But the probability is hit is low. Not impossible. Just extremely low.

    Normally there is a barrier between floors. This helps with wiring and plumbing.

    She has a higher chance of hitting a joist than a person.

    This happened in real life in a hotel somewhere in America. They found a guy dead in his room. Eventually they found a small opening (I think near his groin). Someone in the room next door let their gun go off. It went through the wall into the poor guy who was just lying on hos bed, up through his body, killing him instantly.

    You’re doing the same, but at least I’m speaking out against, and bringing attention to, a bot and not shunning someone else for doing so. I guess your method is to shut up and take it?

    parent root
    -9 points 4510

    You're right I am doing the same but idc about the reposting/bots because it's just the current state of anything social media these days. Reddit is a public company and so it will only be a problem worth addressing for management if engagement stats fall off and kill ad revenue and piss off shareholders. Trust me management gives 0 fucks about the UX unless it directly threatens revenues.

    This is a prime example of why basic safe gun handling education is important at a young age. Take away the mystique and instill the respect for what guns can do in one second of inattention and you’ll solve far more tragedies than you cause. It should be no different than drivers ed.

    parent
    0 points HarkHarley

    I agree, it should be similar to drivers ed. A car is a deadly weapon and a gun more so.

    I think we should also require monthly/annual insurance for each gun owned, just like a car. And like a car, gun owners should be liable for any damage caused by their weapon.
