I’m all for the gun rights but the above is why i’ll probably never own a gun. that and the fact that the odds of me intentionally blowing my brains out would be astronomically greater then me ever needing it to defend myself.

I can accept it when an NFL star is dumb enough to shoot himself in the leg, but you would have thought a retired cop would know better.
