Gun goes off; bullet ends up in neighbor's refrigerator

[SecularMotion]

A bullet from an Ypsilanti man's handgun that accidentally went off in his apartment ended up in a neighbor's kitchen appliance Tuesday.

A woman told Ypsilanti police that a bullet came through the wall of her apartment in the 200 bock of Pearl Street and into her refrigerator at 11:48 p.m. Tuesday, according to a police media summary.

"No one was hit," said Ypsilanti police Sgt. Thomas Eberts.

When police spoke with the man in the adjacent apartment, he said he was about to clean his handgun when it went off.

1. Yup, accidents do happen with firearms from time to time.

[slackmaster]

2. Basic gun safety should be taught in public schools

Every high school graduate should know the basic rules of safe gun handling, and how to safely unload the most common types of firearms.

[gopiscrap]

3. Ban guns

once again as I have said before: only in America..we live in a gun crazy society and it makes us have a more violent national dna as a result of it!

[friendly_iconoclast]

6. Will this ban be as effective as banning heroin and methamphetamine was?

Inquiring minds want to know!

(As an aside: I love your routine. The last one I can think of that was half as good was by someone who called themself "Joe Steel&quot

[Callisto32]

8. Unpossible!

We all know steel is evil since it can be used to make weapons, and no person fighting for the unbridled good of gun control would want to be associated with such a rude composite of elements.

12. You couldn't be more wrong

gun ownership has been rising while crime, including violent crime, has been dropping for 20+ years. You are more safe now than 1 year ago, don't believe me, go check the FBI's UCR.
Ban guns?

13. What a fascinating hypothesis.

Could I subscribe to your newsletter?

[slackmaster]

14. Except, of course, for guns in the hands of government employees

Typical authoritarian proposal.

[glacierbay]

15. I agree

and I'm one of those Govt. employees.

[gejohnston]

19. actually that is not true

there are a lot of gun crazy countries like Canada, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic. Then there is UK............................................

20. Have the mapped the genome ...

... of national DNA? Is there a Philly Cheese Steak Gene?

4. It's worse when

the refrigerator ends up a victim of you neighbors car.

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

5. I'm guessing...

...this will void the warranty. The neighbor owes her a fridge.
I'm sure the cops and prosecutors will do their jobs. Well, maybe not; most of the pro-control folks would have you believe that a cop would have been there to prevent anyone from being shot in an assault, but...

7. I have a gang of teenagers always victimizing my refrigerator.

9. Not cool.

Was it running? Did he shoot it in the back?

[trouble.smith]

10. Guns don't accidentally go off. People pull the trigger and they go off-

people who sometimes forget the first rule of gun safety: all guns are always loaded.

[ileus]

11. did the pistol really "go off" ???

I'm gonna say no. My 8 and 10 yo's know how to handle firearms safely...it's not rocket science.

Time to round up all cars. A few people can't be trusted with them, so no one can.

[Berserker]

18. Let's ban

motorcycles also. I have seen some bad guys on tv ride them so let's ban those. Ban cars absolutely! Not only are they dangerous I have seen them cause pregnancy out of wedlock first hand. I also want to ban pots and pans because you can cook crack in those things. Every house in America is a potential crack lab!!!!!
Then when your on the street corner selling the crack you just made with your pots and pans you bring a gun holy shit we need to ban lots of stuff. Wait lets ban street corners that's where prostitutes and drug pushers hang out! Whoa damn what if we ban lights that way no one can see to shoot or sell drugs that will work.

17. What's the big deal?

I have lots of bullets in my fridge ...

[cherokeeprogressive]

21. Do you kill werewolves with them?

"Here, have a Silver Bullet..."

[holdencaufield]

22. No, I get them drunk ...

23. I can't believe this happened

After all, the DU Gun Lobby assures us that guns are safer than Swiss Cheese.
