29: Number Of Guns Discovered At Airports By TSA Agents This Week

Good news: it’s down from 69 last week. David Waldman’s GunFail this week also includes:

…three gun-cleaning accidents, four home invasion shootings, six target practice accidents (including one in which the victim was shot at a toddler’s birthday party over a mile away), four people showing off new guns who accidentally shot themselves or the people they were showing off to, three who bought guns for family or self-protection and ended up shooting themselves and/or family members with them instead, and two cops and two soldiers involved in accidents. Additionally, the Kids of GunFAIL are a little older this week, the victims being 2, 7, 14, 15, 15, 17 & 17 years old, plus two teenagers of unknown ages.

Of particular note this week are: the concealed carry ninja whose purse dropped and ended up shooting the 7-year-old daughter of her massage therapist; the jerk-ass punished by God for shooting turtles in a fishing pond with a rifle, until the dock he was standing on collapsed and he ended up shooting himself in the leg; the active duty soldier who narrowly missed a deployment to Afghanistan only to be shot to death accidentally by his Army buddy, and; the still mysterious case of Mr. Jerry Waller of Fort Worth, TX. Mr. Waller was shot to death on his own property by Fort Worth police, who said he was unresponsive to their demands that he identify himself and drop his gun, when he apparently decided to respond to a neighbor’s burglar alarm with his own weapon.
