Who was killed with a gun in one week? GUNFAIL Guns kill

The week of December 20th was an embarrassment of riches that actually makes us all poorer. By the numbers, the week wasn’t really all that bad, compared to what we’ve seen recently. I guess there was a sort of calm before the storm, as everyone was out shopping for Christmas gifts, and largely too busy to accidentally shoot themselves or others. Unfortunately, a lot of those Christmas gifts were guns, and, well, you’ll see what happens to the numbers in our next installment.

But what we did have a lot of during the week of the 20th were a lot of spectacular GunFAILS. We had a Guns Everywhere, GA man who sleeps with a gun in his bed accidentally shoot himself in his sleep. We had a Pennsylvania man who pulled the old, “Ha ha, it’s not loaded but watch me scare her when I put it to her head and pull the trigger!” joke, which quickly became, “My life is over. My life is over.” A Missouri dad handling what he thought were his unloaded black powder hunting guns, who accidentally killed his daughter when he fired through the living room wall. A Florida man who accidentally shot and killed himself while on a video call, showing a relative the “proper” way to clean a handgun. A New York mall security guard who struggled with a fleeing robber and accidentally shot a store worker. A California 12-year-old who dropped his rifle at a shooting range, accidentally shooting another nearby patron. An Iowa cop who accidentally fired his gun inside the Des Moine airport, while practicing his “quick draw” technique. Two unrelated accidental discharges that turned into “home invasion shootings” on the same day in Bismarck, ND. An Oregon man who accidentally shot his 2-year-old niece in the face, when his gun went off while using the gun cleaning kit he’d just gotten for Christmas. And the husband and wife team in Nevada, both employed by the local police department, who separately awoke and fired a total of 27 rounds at the third family member who lives with them, having mistaken her for an intruder (hitting her just once, in the leg).

I mean, come on, people.

But believe it or not, there’s more. Have a look below the fold, if you dare.
