These stories are the extreme fringe end of the idiot spectrum that gun control people use to try and control the majority of responsible gun owners through scare tactics.

That's interesting, Maggot.
You're the only one who's brought up the topic of taking everyone's guns away in a thread covering primarily wrongful shooting deaths and self defense laws.
Some gun enthusiasts, like some gun control advocates, are rational and evaluate every story with a gun featured for the facts and what it is. Some gun enthusiasts instead label every story of a wrongful death involving a gun the "very rare exception", and turn such stories into an opportunity to cry about those in favor of bans.
I'm not a ban favorer, but I shake my head at the transparency of those cries when I hear them being made by throats that have fully swallowed the "they're gonna take all of yours guns away!" ignorance, as if that's not a piece of propaganda candy that gets sucked on by a pretty fair portion of the mainstream itself.
Shoot first, ask questions later...that's a mentality that's been supported by some here on Mock, depending on context. It's a mentality that does exist; an interesting one to explore in terms of the consequences highlighted in real life stories. IMO.
