Today, I went to the gun range for a birthday and got shot in the foot by my mom. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Gun control
Today, I took my 15-year-old daughter to our local shooting range for her birthday, as she requested. While she was setting up a target in front of me, I jokingly pulled the trigger and shouted, "Think Fast!" not realizing that the safety was off. I shot my daughter in the arm on her birthday. FML
Today, my parents thought it would be a great surprise to accidentally shoot me in the leg for my birthday. FML
Today, I learned what it felt like to get shot in the nuts by an airsoft gun. Thank you, Mom. FML
Old banger
Today, I went shooting with my dad and he brought his grandfather's rifle with him. I’ve never shot it before and he told me to be careful with it. The bullet exploded, ruptured the barrel, cut my face, and made me deaf in one ear. Dad still blamed me for “not shooting it properly.” FML
Today, I was at my friend's house. We were looking at her dad's guns, and I was explaining gun safety and how you should never put your finger on the trigger. I then shot a hole in the floor of her house. FML
Gun control
Today, only a few hours after getting certified and buying my first pistol, I dropped it and blew off two of my toes. FML
Today, me and my girlfriend went paintballing. I made sure we were on the same team, so I could protect her and be manly. The first time she got shot was by me, I shot her finger. It broke. FML
Thanks Susan
Today, my aunt asked to see my new airsoft pistol. Not thinking anything of it, I handed it to her. She shot me in the leg. I was standing next to her. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went shooting. While I was showing him how to properly hold and adjust a rifle, he accidentally pulled the trigger. The gun kicked back and hit me in the face, breaking my nose. FML
Today, I had to take my son to the emergency room for shooting himself in the ass with a BB gun. FML

This is why you go through gun safety first.

A foot is better than getting it in the ass any day in my book..

This is why America is ridiculous. This sort of shit doesn't regularly happen in other countries.

You know what else doesn't happen in other countries? People successfully defending themselves from criminals who manage to get guns regardless of their legality, because that's the nature of criminals.

And did you know that the Japanese had considered a land invasion on America during WWII, but decided against it because so many Americans had guns? True story.

That why you take a firearms safety course. So you can be trained to use them. I'm sorry, but I'd rather rely on my gun if someone breaks into my house than the cops that are about 25 minutes away.

Shoot her back

Why? Because some idiot shot her son in the foot? You know what? I think only chefs should be allowed to use stoves and knives because they're trained to use them, since some idiots burn and cut themselves. And only professional drivers should be allowed to have cars since they're trained to use them and some idiots crash them. I mean, it's not like professionals ever misuse guns, knives, stoves, or cars. No no no. They're always responsible and never make silly mistakes that get themselves or others hurt or killed. It's only we moronic plebeians do that. Right? RIGHT???

Only your mom would know if she hit the target or not.

Hopefully this taught you that guns aren't toys that are there to entertain you when you're looking for something to do on your birthday. They are a weapon and a tool. Don't use them unless you have a reason to. Silly Americans with their "guns are fun" mentality.

Shooting is an olympic sport.

And how does one learn to fire guns safely and accurately for those times when you "need to?" Hmmmmmmm???

That's exactly what the shutzenstaffel used to say. See how well that worked out.

I see the logic you're trying to implement in your comment, but I'm afraid if everyone in this country relied on the police to protect them it would be a DISASTER. If someone is breaking into your home and they're armed. I'm not waiting 10 to 15 minutes for the police to get there no **** that. I'm grabbing my glock and either scare them away or defend myself most likely.
