    I agree, shouldnt matter if he hit him or not. We don’t know he even intended to point the gun at the people in the car though, if he apparently pulls his gun out with his finger wrapped around the trigger, then who’s to say he has a great understanding of what the guns pointing at.

    Its far too easy to get a gun in America, its far too easy to mishandle guns, even if you are an expert, which means we are going to continue having this awful stuff happen in huge numbers.

    Every poster in this post who has mentioned how to safely use a weapon has broken one of those rules at least once. They just haven’t killed someone yet.

      Incorrect. Some of us were professionally trained to handle weapons safely. I’ve never violated a gun handling rule after I learned them. I think you’re projecting a bit.

      If you violate the rules of gun handling then you shouldn’t be able to own or handle one.

        You just made a caveat I didnt. You mishandled a gun before in your life, by your own admission. You were lucky you didnt hurt someone or yourself.

        This thinking we can be perfectly in control 100% of the time is why we have this problem to begin with.

            So learn how to speak? If you thought thats what I would get out of, “I haven’t broken any gun rules since I learned them”, then I don’t know what to tell you.
