    That looks like a different pic then I saw this weekend, but I did hear maybe they had the wrong pic up for awhile.

    Something like this happened to a neighbor a few years ago. A bullet, probably fired up into the air, came down at an extreme angle, pierced his window, and grazed his back. He was alright though.

    If he had been convicted of domestic violence or any felony, then yes it would be a felony for him to possess a firearm under federal law (and under Mississippi law, at least with regard to having a prior felony, I don't know about a DV misdemeanor). If he was only facing accusations, then no.

    The answer is Mormons.

    Seriously though if the law says anyone who is intoxicated should lose not possess firearms then that does mean that a whole lot of people should have their firearms taken away.

    It is the guns, stupid. The frequency of mass shooting is much less in any other developed country. The Second Amendment is outdated concept with increasingly horrible consequences in modern life.

    just read that story

    A father took his 2-year-old son to CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital around 3:14 a.m. Thursday and told the hospital staff that the toddler had been shot at their west-side home on the 9900 block of Kents Store.

    The man told SAPD that his son was reaching for something on the shelf and accidentally pulled down a gun. When the weapon hit the ground, it went off and shot the child in the head one time.


    The child’s father and grandmother rushed the toddler to the hospital, and then police arrived and he was transferred to University Hospital in critical condition.

    A preliminary report Thursday called the shooting "accidental."


    accidental…

    ha, gtfoh

    charge that parent with reckless endangerment at the very least

    if u leave a loaded gun out in a place where a little 2 year could “knock it off a shelf” just by reaching for something, and a death occurs, u deserve jail time…u dumbass, idiotic, absolute fool

    A Texas meteorologist is going viral after a social media post from "iWeatherNet," which he founded and operates, drew incredible backlash across the internet.

    Chris Robbins' "iWeatherNet" Facebook account, which has over 116,000 followers and covers weather events in Dallas, Fort Worth and also Atlanta, Georgia, posted on Monday morning a warning, but not of the weather-related variety.

    “A child just rang my doorbell," the post read. "Folks you do NOT ring doorbells in 2023. My 6 was loaded. Keep your kids away."

    The post was signed "Chris," indicating Robbins wrote and posted it himself. The post has since been repeatedly edited as backlash flowed in, but some internet users were able to screenshot the original and upload it on social media themselves.

    “So you're willing to shoot someone just because they rang your doorbell?" Facebook user Stefani Seeley replied to the post. "Stand your ground isn't meant for that and the way you're nearly threatening anyone, specifically kids, is disgusting and why some people shouldn't have guns."

    “I'm not f***ing around," Robbins wrote in reply, according to a screenshot Seeley later uploaded to Twitter.

    In a later edit, Robbins added more detail to his story. He claimed the child who rang his doorbell was a little girl who was looking for her kitten. In the new edit of the post, Robbins admits that he was "impatient" and was "just playing," but that "it really is a bad idea for kids roaming around ringing doorbells."

    This is not 1972," the latest edit reads. "If that brat rings my doorbell again tomorrow, I will call the police. take notes."
    Robbins added that he "warned" the little girl he "might pull her hair" if she rang his doorbell again, which led to her "crying." The meteorologist called the incident a "learning opportunity" for the little girl. Robbins also added several replies to his own post, repeatedly posting "she will get her hair pulled tomorrow" and "please accept my apology" several times each. It's unclear if the repeated replies were mistakes or not.

    Several other Facebook users bashed Robbins for the post.

    "How is threatening someone who rings your doorbell something that is normal?" a "top fan" of the page asked.

    “Personally not at all alarmed by little girls ringing my doorbell but I guess I’m just built different," another Facebook user said.

    “Unless someone is kicking down the door, this is a psychotic worldview," one user told Robbins.

    Robbins then spent the day making a slew of other non-weather-related posts. The meteorologist even shared a link to a video about Ralph Yarl in an apparent attempt to prove his initial point. Yarl, a 16-year-old Black teenager in Missouri, was put in the hospital after he was allegedly shot by Andrew Lester, 84, for ringing the doorbell of a house after mixing up addresses.

    Grizzy is the truth. She does better local reporting than the big affiliates. Easy follow.
