I don't care if the constitution does not agree -- stupid people doing stupid things with firearms should have them taken away!

What a shame and what are the odds to get hit from a falling bullet from miles away?

The other article is just plain stupidity and I for one would like to see his ass get fired for that stunt.

I see..... Who determines what "stupid" things are? I dont like people ding stupid things with guns any more than you do because it makes people who are responsible gun owners look bad. With that being said, The constitution is the supreme law of this land. There will always be stupid people doing stupid things some of them with guns, some with cars, and some with fire. We can not throw away the constitution. We can however, monitor our own community of friends so that the government doesn't have to!

^^^^ Some of "Albany's Finest". I used to live just down the Road from there. I'll be curious what type of discipline comes down the pipe.

It says the Ga one was from 2011. Typo or old story?

If ya just gotta fire off something in the air let it be some shot shells not a hunk a lead.
