Just when you thought that Democrat politicians’ efforts to appear to be “pro-2A” couldn’t get any more ridiculous, they manage to do something that makes their foolishness even more over the top.
And the bar was already pretty high with the previous details of this situation that we already had (you can find out more about that here). Yes, maybe there really does need to be “common-sense Democrat control” because goodness knows that they can’t be trusted with a firearm.
So, here’s the set up: Missouri Senate candidate Lucas Kunce, a Democrat as we implied earlier, had decided to try to give the idea to legal gun owners in that state that he is a fine, upstanding gun enthusiast. To do that, he decided to do some shooting (with permission, apparently) at a back yard range shooting rifles at steel targets.
No problem there until you realize the distance that they were shooting at: 5-7 yards. That’s right, not only were they using high-powered scopes on the rifles at targets that were 5-7 yards out (Really? Yes, really), but the targets were metal targets. Yes, at that distance.
So, no surprise, a ricochet hit one of the reporters who was covering the event in the arm. Fortunately, it doesn’t sound like it was a serious injury, but it happened because, clearly, the people who set up and participated in this situation don’t understand gun safety.
And that’s not even mentioning the tannerite canisters that were within ricochet range from the targets, too. (if you’re not familiar with tannerite, it’s explosive. I’m not kidding.).
It’s enough to take your breath away…
… but it gets even worse. Because the guy who set up the situation…
… is a felon.
Yes, really.

It’s one of those “truth is stranger than fiction” kind of stories. I’d say that you can’t make this stuff up, and it would probably have been a comedy about bumbling crooks if I had.
But it actually happened.
And these people who are clearly clueless about firearms usage and safety are the same people who want to dictate to you and me about how best to keep people safe from improper firearms use.
We really are living in clown world.
