Authorities say a Michigan man whose 2-year-old daughter shot herself in the head with his revolver pleaded not guilty after becoming the first person charged under the state’s new law requiring safe storage of guns.
Not even political - just everyone, you know? I’ve met a liberal (true liberal, not American liberal) forklift operator that sped through the warehouse all day until they ran someone over. I’ve met a conservative site manager who walked around without a hard hat all the time, I came to find out after I left that they died when a piece of our stock fell on their head. I’ve met a guy who described himself as “apolitical” who kept his gun unsecured in case he needed it - didn’t check his target and ended up shooting his wife.
Human fucking stupidity is the problem, not what politics they have. If American-style conservatives were able to make absolutely certain that human stupidity would not end up getting people killed, I would vote them every day of the week. Same with America’s center-right party, same with the most extreme of the left in the most left-wing country in the world.
I’m just fucking tired of seeing people die because they refuse to use their brains. I’m tired of people letting their ego or their politics or their greed get in the way of survival, let alone progress.
Yes, human stupidity, but only one side seems to glorify a lack of education…
As you say, stupidity is a human problem: We should probably stop enabling the particularly stupid… In fact, I would say the fact conservatism is treated with ANY respect is a PERFECT example of how stupid humans are in general. … and enlightened centrism for that matter. There is no enlightenment when triangulating from morons.
Just once, I’d like there to be safety laws that people follow before they’re written in blood.
Nah, conservatives love their ignorant freedom.
It’s in the constitution, we have to allow dipshits to possess guns, didn’t you know!?

There’s a reason they say “Regulations are written in blood”
