3. Cut the crap.

He was Army, everyone knows only the police and military are trained and responsible to carry firearms.

4. Basic gun safety should be taught in public schools

One of the most important things my dad taught me was to never handle firearms while drinking.

Everyone who graduates from high school deserves to be taught that valuable lesson.

5. Agreed! I did a short lesson on gun cleaning in 8th grd...

Usng my 870 shotgun as a prop.

7. Also never assume they aren't loaded and ready to kill.

That was this guy's second mistake.

6. Obviously this proves that we cannot trust civilians with guns

only the military and police have the professionalism to ensure that guns can be used without such mishaps.

We should ban all civilian weapons to ensure this never happens again.
