Monumental Stupidity

Post by JasonH »

I'm always suspect of these videos since there's so much fake stuff online but the recoil certainly looks real.

At a wedding party in Syria a man emptied his magazine in the air in celebration, removed the magazine (which can be seen in his left hand) and handed the firearm to his two year old so he could play with it.

Apparently there was a round in the chamber, obviously, and the guy didn't survive.

Sad for the child, but the man is an idiot.

Good thing is that only the moron bought the farm. Too bad he damaged others lives in the process. I simply can't abide stupidity like that.

First two rules I taught my wife and son when dealing with guns, "They are loaded until YOU clear them. Always clear a weapon before you hand it to anyone, that means action is open"

What a tragedy! What stupidity! It looked real from the recoil and the fire ball blast on the man's shirt.
Just when you think you have seen it all... :headscratch

what an idiot, how stupid can people get. Prime reason why fire arm education is so important, a child that age just does not understand, it is not his fault and he should have NEVER been allowed to handle a firearm in that situation!
It is a cliche that most cliches are true, but then like most cliches, that cliche is untrue.

I hope you meant to say rule number 5. There are already 4 rules.

Definitely looked real.
who in their right mind would hand a gun to a 2 year old? Wonder how much alcohol was involved.
