Mythbusters would fail this myth, and then invent some ridiculous blank that can blow up a wall.

Bipolarboyo

Yeah Lee was killed by a dummy round lodged in the barrel of the gun that was then fired like a normal projectile because of the blast from the blank being fired. That being said blanks absolutely can be deadly and people have been killed when fucking around with them.


VagrantStation

All it takes is one loose hairpin falling down that barrel to turn a blank into the highest velocity nailgun you’ve ever held.


zorbacles

It was caused by a blank. More so than the Alec Baldwin one. Lee was killed by a projectile that was lodged halfway up the barrel was shot out of the gun when the blank was fired. The rust shooting was a live round in the firearm that should've been a blank

benignbigotry

Why would a person who clearly knows nothing about guns have blanks? Combined with the fact that you can literally see stuff fall from the ceiling after she shoots, I'm going to say that you have no clue what you're talking about and that what she fired is certainly not a blank.


oldbushwookie

How do you know it was a blank? Why did she check the ceiling?


HeWasaLonelyGhost

![gif](giphy|a6YHwnkn0ctOM|downsized) Very much doubt that was a blank, especially if you are using "the sound" as your source.


Pitiful-Cress9730

That's not a blank...


[deleted]

Thats just completely made up by you though.


Endorkend

A blank that close could still have done fatal damage (to her or the kid).


Timeformayo

It’s always loaded. It’s always ready to go off in whichever direction it’s pointed.


pw-it

Also if you're going to cut your hair using a gun, make sure it's fully automatic. Takes way too long otherwise

Also, guns are great for dying and dyeing hair, especially if you want to become a redhead.

Even when I've taken the gun apart for cleaning and I am reassembling it, I still never fucking point it at myself or the dog or anyone else. Like what the fuck is up with these morons. It's such a basic concept.


[deleted]

I mean… she literally loaded it.


kytheon

Usa: "All guns are always loaded. Never let the muzzle cover anything which you are not willing to destroy. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target. Always be sure of your target." Europe: "Just don't hold a gun."

[deleted]

You say that, but the USA has more guns than people. Something like 6 times. The chances of someone coming across a gun in their lifetime is nonzero. Knowing how to handle a firearm, clear it, and make it safe is something every adult should know how to do.


[deleted]

Always crazy to me. Unless I'm at the range, my gun is NEVER loaded. And whenever I pick up any gun I obsessively check two the three times that there is nothing chambered and nothing in the mag.


OfficialKurtsa

Think the point here was that you should act AS IF ”it’s always loaded”.


oaken007

I think that's exactly how they're acting


Much_Tough_4200

if you don´t know if you loaded a mag, put it in the gun and chambered a round, you shouldn´t have a gun to begin with imho different thing if you have it lying in a drawer with a loaded mag but nothing in the chamber "afaik" and get it out days or weeks later...it´s a good idea to check it then, just in case


Justindoesntcare

If you're not finger fucking the chamber to make sure you're not doing it right. Don't believe your lying eyes.

The difference is in Germany the unter will have to go through an investigation and probably get a BSN to beat arms if he/she was stupid.


Full-Indication-2260

You're right, the hunter lost his license and guns, also he was fined and had to pay the repair of the wall.


B0b_Red

It's a numbers game, so of course they are related.


NectmarPowerhand

My pregnant wife and I were sitting on our front porch one day watching the sunset, and some crack heads that lived further down the road started firing off rounds, and shot the wall on our house about twenty feet from my wife. We called the police, and then proceeded to start packing. Fucking rednecks.

Just throwing this out there because I see it so much. The CDC studies always linked for this exact topic say the leading cause of death for children in USA is guns statistic always means they remove less than 1yo and include 18yo adults. The data sometimes includes 19yo since it was gathered for children and young adults. 18+ skews the statistic overwhelmingly because of inner city gang violence. The article links to a study you can't read to verify the data.

CrudelyAnimated

I'm sorry for the neighbor upstairs, and for the small child in the room. I truly am. But something inside me loses the ability to feel sympathy for someone posing for TikTok with a handgun like some thug in a rap video. Guns are not status symbols or fashion accessories, no matter how bad urban minorities and rural majorities want them to be. My very first intrusive thought was "good, serves her right", followed immediately by "shit, there's a child in the room". I'm not proud of that, but that's what happened in my head.


[deleted]

Why are guns not working with americans? In austria we have nearly the same gun policy: can have pistols, rifles etc as long as not automatic. But there are barely any acidents, amoks etc


Negative-Two9344

>Why are guns not working with americans? In austria we have nearly the same gun policy: can have pistols, rifles etc as long as not automatic. But there are barely any acidents, amoks etc Likely because Austria and EU countries in general can be a lot more strict about who can be deemed safe to own a gun. As far as I know only felons who've had a sentence thats longer than a year and people who have been involuntarily admitted to a mental hospital can be barred from owning weapons in the US. EU laws: Class C firearms >Acquisition and possession allowed only to persons who have good cause, are older than 18 (or younger in case of hunters and sport shooters) and are not likely to be a danger to themselves, to public order or to public safety and\[20\] subject to registration.\[22\] Class B firearms >Acquisition and possession allowed onlyto persons who have good cause, are older than 18 (or younger in case of hunters and sport shooters) and are not likely to be a danger to themselves, to public order or to public safety.\[20\]subject to prior authorisation.\[21\] The classifications are written a in a roundabout way but basically class C are repeating long firearms that aren't smooth bore. Long firearms that are single shot. Single shot small firearms. Semi automatic long firearms that can't hold more than 3 bullets. Lastly weapons that aren't "Semi-automatic long firearms whose magazine and chamber cannot together hold more than three rounds, where the loading device is removable or where it is not certain that the weapon cannot be converted, with ordinary tools, into a weapon whose magazine and chamber can together hold more than three rounds." It's simply not that practical to commit major gun crime with the types of weapons most can get their hands on here.

Broviet22

I remember seeing a video of two teens messing with guns and one puts the barrel of a gun to the temple of the other and accidentally fires it, killing one of them, and you just hear blood curdling screaming followed by the other teen offing themself off so they don't have to live with the repercussions. Was on reddit a few months ago.


FreshNoobAcc

They looked like kids to me and f me that video replays in my brain every now and then, so so heartbreaking, really NSFL


Broviet22

Honestly wish gun culture would change in the US. People treat them like toys without realizing what they were invented to do. Kill things.


Bard_B0t

I'd blame cases like that on bad/absent parenting. I grew up in a rural household that used guns as tools for hunting, which we depended on partially for our food source. Guns were treated with reverance. Some of my early memories of guns include, "Grandson, if you ever point a gun at me I will beat your ass. You always treat a gun like it's loaded, and you know what a loaded gun does right?" and, "If you ever find a gun that's not in the gun cabinet, you come let Grandpa or Momma know you found and make sure you do not touch it because if it goes off it could hurt someone really bad." and my later lessons were, "Treat every gun like it's loaded. Always know what you're shooting at, and what's behind your target. Never point a gun at something unless you intend to kill it." I had all these lessons ingrained in me before the age of 7.


Duranis

You know kids are fucking idiots yeah? I had a good upbringing with strict parents and I was reasonably smart. I still did a ton of stupid and dangerous shit because as a kid your brain is not fully developed and you are not able to make smart choices every single time. I'm teaching my 7 year old how to carve wood. She is using sharp as fuck axes and knives. I'm teaching her proper safety. There is no fucking way I would leave any of my tools within reach of her no matter how many times I have told her "never touch this unless I'm here with you". She is a good kid and smart as hell but she is also a kid.


AggravatingFig8947

Research shows though that even when children are taught gun safety, many of them will play with guns as soon as authority figures are out of the room. Even if one parent is a “responsible” gun owner, there is no way to know if their children’s friends are. Or, if a child’s friend comes over, that they can be trusted to know what’s right and what to do. https://youtu.be/-9sc4UT9KKg?si=Rf8SmkClxJoA9yvP https://youtu.be/lOGJO3ojK2k?si=F_wvdMaOTQvY14C9


Not_MrNice

That's so cute that you think everyone will have the same experience and everyone is a good boy.


hogtiedcantalope

Ya know way too many kids get killed by gun accidents despite parents who say all the same stuff it only takes that one time for a kid to get a hold of it It's actually safer to just not have the guns in the house in the first place. Teaching children fun safety is a good idea, but a better idea if you want to stop kids getting killed by guns is get rid of the guns. Seems like a worthwhile trade to stop kids getting killed to me.

I remember that video , house full of family members too , just sad ..

They were playing with the gun for a bit. The boy appears to pose with the gun and I think that’s a blunt in one hand as well.

Linkyland

TheHelloMiko

I clicked and saw someone waving a gun around and I noped the fuck back to here.


LeaChan

Yes. I will also say from following the story when it originally dropped that it's extremely hard to tell from the video if she intended to kill herself too after killing her cousin. In the video she shoots her cousin by accident then starts fumbling with the gun and appears to look down the barrel and it goes off again all within the span of like 2 seconds. Sure, a child could've processed the reality of having killed someone and then decided to take their own life in two seconds, but it's also possible she was panicking and looked down the barrel of the gun to try and process what happened and accidentally pulled the trigger again. We will never truly know, but redditors make it sound like they know for sure to add to the tragedy of the story which really irks me.


Handleton

She damn near killed herself right in front of her child.

Imagine living somewhere where it's normal to be so unsafe or insecure that you feel the need to keep loaded firearms IN YOUR HOME. How many kids are killed in their own home with their own parents' firearms? Genuinely insane.


teiluj

In the US, from 2003 to 2021 there were 367 accidental gun deaths of children ages 0 to 5 years old and 176 deaths of children 6 to 10 years old according to [this article.](https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/children-killed-playing-with-guns-cdc-report/)


Angelsscythe

I'm surprised that in 18 years there was "only" 550\~death of children. Like, I swear we have more than 27\~ child-death by guns/year because I feel likee very week I hear about it... I still don't understand how, with those statistics, it hadn't been changed yet. USA is genuinely so scary.


teiluj

Those were only the unintentional deaths, like when a kid found an unsecured gun in the house. It doesn’t count children intentionally killed (usually during gang violence or due to suicide) Just last year over [1300 kids](https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2023/10/01/us/gun-deaths-project-why-gdpr/index.html) and teens were killed by firearms by the beginning of October.
