This is a normal post What's your point? These all sound like perfectly reasonable justifications for employing a firearm to me.

This is a normal post This is the thing
People lose their temper about stupid things and do stupid stuff. It's just that in Britain, when this happens, maybe there's a fistfight. In US states where everyone's armed to the teeth, an argument about trivial stuff can easily escalate into someone pulling a gun.

All the argument about how "responsible gun owners" won't shoot someone ignores the fact that most people behave like total fucking idiots now and then, at least.

This is a normal post it's pretty clear to me
The only thing that can stop a toddler with a gun is another toddler with a gun

This is a normal post see although I have no reason to
doubt the facts written there. I do have reason to doubt this is what was said verbatim. They sound like police reports with the wording changed to be in the first person.
They all read like they were written in the same style by the same person. For example, if I had shot myself in the hand and a woman and a wall and a baby, I would've probably known who that woman was, as she was in the same room, and would be rather more likely to refer to her more descriptively than just 'a woman'. Like my mother, girlfriend, sister, or by her name. and I would be way too upset to refer to the baby in a formal way like that.
