Accidental Shooting of VA Man at Gun Range by Himself - No Charges Local news reports
A man accidentally shot himself in the finger at the shooting range of Superior Pawn in Virginia Beach Saturday afternoon.
A spokeswoman for Virginia Beach police told WAVY.com that a man in his 50s was on the gun range when he accidentally shot the tip of his finger.
It is my opinion that a man who does that should lose his right to own guns.
Does that sound too harsh?  Why?
The gun-rights activists are continually telling us we cannot take people's rights away because of what they might do in the future,  They refuse to consider mental health screening for fear that it'll be abused and unfairly restrict responsible people.  But how can they justify continuing to allow people who have proven themselves to be negligent to own guns?
It's wrong. Where guns are concerned, it should be one strike you're out.
What's your opinion?  Please leave a comment.
