Nevada Gun Owner Charged after Shooting Incident

[US-SSR]

In a clear violation of the Second Amendment, a Nevada gun owner has been charged with felonies including concealed carry without a permit and discharging the weapon the Constitution gives him the sacred right to have. Gun owners should be up in arms over this. Why are there no protests or organized calls to Congressional offices? Anyone should be able to do anything they want to with their guns, especially if they don't harm others like this patriotic American.

I'm calling my congressman about your post.

1. Nice straw-man of people who support gun ownership rights.
2. That professor is an idiot. Who in their right mind shoots themselves just because they don't like a president, who probably won't get a second term?

Self harm as protest isn't anything new. Look at the Buddhist monks protesting the South Vietnamese government.

And this makes him not an idiot how???

If he shot someone else as a protest you'd call him a genius then? Intelligence has nothing to do with how he felt about expressing his displeasure with Trump.

That is different because the monks were protesting a dictatorship. We are not a dictatorship, and thus it's pretty stupid. Tibetans lighting themselves on fire to protest the "People's" republic of China makes sense also, because China suppresses any and all dissent, so they don't have any other protest avenue. We on the other hand do.

Probably not. Sure it does.

Because the Second Amendment doesn't grant immunity from the law just because you have a gun.

Then how do you explain my ability to jaywalk with a gun without being arrested?

[Ethel mermania]

I realize this thread is a very cheap and poor attempt at sarcasm, which really isn't surprising.

However as anyone who has a whit of intention to discuss the topic seriously knows you are not allowed to discharge a weapon anywhere you want, and generally a bathroom where there is no threat is one of those places.

Do you feel lucky punk, was that light yellow or red when you crossed?

Or

Is that a pistol In your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?

[Washington Resistance Army]

The dude shot himself with a derringer to protest Trump and try to get AR-15's banned and broke a ton of laws in the process. The only thing that needs to happen here is he's never allowed on school grounds again and he loses the ability to own guns.

It has everything to do with it.

[Grinning Dragon]

I posted about this guy a while back in the gun control thread. The prof is an idiot and his parents were probably idiots as well. If this guy was gonna shoot himself to protest the president and to get rifles like the AR banned, well he should have used a .45 instead of a .22, since trump is the 45th president. He was also a selfish guy, since he didn't want blood in his house he chose a bathroom at campus to make his mess in and then leaves a $100 bill for the janitor who had to clean up a mess that a janitor shouldn't have had to clean up to begin with.

I say good riddance, hope he enjoys his new found title as moron and his new cell mate.

I'd call him an idiot and an asshole. And intelligence sure as hell has everything to do with it.

[Ors Might]

This guy is quite plainly dumb. For one, just why? Why would he think that shooting himself in the arm would convince Trump of all people to support gun control? Even if we were to accept his line of thinking, this man has no understanding of what makes self-violent protesting effective. Shooting your arm in a college bathroom is the least stunning way that I can think of going about it. The only difference between him doing it and some stupid prick doing it is that he somehow made it dumber by doing it intentionally. Zero points for message and zero points for showmanship.

Putting a bullet in your head in a collegiate bathroom, so some poor janitor has to clean it up as a protest to Trump is about as stupid as it gets. He deserves serious prison time. Perfect example of a moron self entitled liberal professor putting his own moronic needs ahead of his the students put in his care.

Idiot shoots self in bathroom. Someone on NSG attempts to use it to make gun owners look bad. Said poster's OP ends up getting mocked, as NSG engages in yet another gun debate. Bears shit in woods. Water is wet. The World is full of idiots like that professor, and always will be.

I think we should have rules against these types of OPs. When the "who's better, cats or dogs?" type of threads became a problem, the mods figured out a way to stop it. Perhaps the same policies can be applied to strawmen, and strawwomen threads.
