Doomsday Prepper Shoots Himself

[aermotor]

Not sure if anyone caught the new episode of Doomsday Preppers... The Dad shoots his thumb and blames the gun for misfiring......... Dummy even says he put his hand in front of the barrel and boom. But he blames the gun, not his moronic ways.

It was one of those malfunctions, my thumb went in front of the barrel and umm it went off.

Those wannabes are making gun owners, survivalists and Americans in general look like a bunch of idiots.

"It was one of those malfunctions with my thumb over the barrel." (Actual quote, Tim from Doomsday Preppers)

But he did make a cool weapon that does many things. I thought that tool that looks like a shovel was cool. I want one.

The Crovel inventor is in the government profiling crosshairs for sure now, what with him storing food, owning guns and missing fingers.

When doomsday comes he won't last very long if he can't handle a firearm during a time of peace.

What a moron.

thats likely the intention: ostracize and demonize.

I think the lesson was lost on most people - this guy has been shooting a ton for his whole life - he made a mistake and shot himself. That can happen to anyone at any time. You only need to look to the military, trained professionals / friendly fire. That's why gun safety is so important to reduce the possibility of an incident as far as possible, you can never totally be safe with anything least of all guns.

Luckily this happened to him at a time when it was a non critical situation which is the whole point of prepping.

And if you think preparers are idiots because of a show then your not accepting television as entertainment or understanding that you take what you can get in life / sorry.
