@Nonilex I remember as a youth being told so many times not to point a gun at something I didn't intend to shoot.
And some of the 10 Commandments of shooting safety that seem especially applicable:
1 Always point the muzzle in a safe direction
3 Be sure of your target (and beyond your target)
5 Handle firearms and ammunition carefully
6 Know your safe zone of fire and stick to it
7 Control your emotions -

“A new analysis suggests Oregon voters’ narrow 2022 approval of a referendum designed to limit gun purchases has instead resulted in thousands more firearms in the state than there otherwise would have been.”

A gun control measure enacted in Oregon but not yet implemented led to a 14% increase in background checks prior to the election and a 157% increase afterward. Only about 30% of the increase may be due to temporal demand shift. The result is more guns in Oregon than if the measure had not been passed.

A Look Back at Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #109 (1985)

Let it be known that any unauthorized use of this article will constrain the author to pursue the remedies under R.A.

Welcome back superhero enthusiasts, 1980s arts and culture enthusiasts, Spider-Man fans and comic book collectors! Today we go back to the year 1985 to examine a small part of the Marvel Comics shared universe through a tale of the Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man monthly series.
The first two chapters of the murder of Jean DeWolff really impacted not only Spider-Man but also Daredevil and the city of New York. Issue #107 was the start and the search for answers started with a good amount of mystery and suspense. In issue #108, the plot thickened somewhat and Spider-Man encountered the Sin-Eater with lots of bystanders nearby. Since the start, the creators crafted a compelling tale with a heavy touch of detective storytelling.
With those details laid down, here is a look back at Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #109, published in 1985 by Marvel Comics with a story written by the late Peter David and the late Rich Buckler.
The cover.Early story
The story begins with the news of the violent death of a reverend being reported on television. The local authorities believe that the victim’s concern for criminals – a concern shared by the late judge Horace Rosenthal – marked him as a target of the Sin-Eater. While the news broadcast goes on, Peter Parker talks to Stan Carter as Spider-Man on the phone (with a cloth on the mouthpiece to distort the sound of his natural voice). Other people who saw the news broadcast are affected in different ways and there is the feeling of dread clouding the city.
In the evening, Wilson Grant Fisk (the Kingpin) dictates into his small recorder. While dictating and recording, the Kingpin knows Spider-Man is hiding in the dark very close to him. He fires a shot at Spider-Man who easily evades it. As the webslinger starts talking to him, the Kingpin reminds him that he is trespassing…
Quality
Danger inside the Daily Bugle!Right from the start, this tale not only maintained the gritty detective story tone since issue #107, it continued to build-up the tension and intrigue smoothly as the story went on. At this stage of the storyline, Spider-Man and Daredevil are both doing detective work to find out who the Sin-Eater really is and why precisely has he been killing people and causing chaos in the first place.
Both superheroes encountered different people in their respective searches for answers. Because he was not successful finding details as Daredevil, he decides to do it in his civilian form as Matt Murdock. Spider-Man, who is not a professional detective at all, continues his search with his limitations and with the only ways he knows how (including the use of violence, humiliation and threats).
Without spoiling the plot, I can say that there two notable plot turning points that are really fine payoffs to the build-up that started since issue #107. What happened here was finely dramatized by the David-Buckler duo and easily justified the cover price.
Conclusion
Spider-Man doing detective work the way he knows how.Considering the very strong qualities of the writing and visuals combined with the two major plot developments, Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #109 (1985) is easily the most compelling part of the death of Jean DeWolff storyline. I should also state that Spider-Man and Daredevil are the key detectives of the tale and the creative team succeeded again in shaping this detective story to be very grounded with reality. The superhero elements are still present but noticeably contained with the brooding detective story. As to the two plot turning points I mentioned earlier, I encourage you all to grab a copy of this comic book and find out for yourselves. I promise you, they are worth your time and attention
Overall, Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man #109 (1985) is highly recommended.

New world record: Texas school was shot up before it even opened!
“The district says it doesn't want Quail Creek Shooting Range to shut down, but is pursuing legal action to implement safety measures. The gun range is located about an hour away from the school, according to the lawsuit.”
“The first bullet was found in May, lodged in an exterior wall, and a second bullet struck exterior glass last week. Both bullets were found at the south end of the school, which is in line with the gun range located about 1.2 miles south of the campus, Principal Michelle Jennings wrote in a letter to families.”

The 1930s-era National Firearms Act regulated the sale of suppressors and short-barrelled rifles under the federal tax authority. The One Big Beautiful Bill removed the tax, and--this seemed pretty inevitable--a Texas judge just struck down limitations on the sale of those items because without a tax, there is no federal authority to regulate them.

Yet another good guy with a gun story.
“Armed bystander distracted gunman in fatal In-N-Out shooting
The shooter was identified as Chad Williams, 24. He fatally shot himself, authorities said at a news conference.
TWIN FALLS, Idaho — An armed bystander may have saved lives by distracting a gunman who had opened fire at an In-N-Out Burger on Saturday, according to a witness.
Lane Koehn, 34, was at a stoplight just outside the fast-food restaurant when he saw a person with an AR-style rifle emerge from the drive-thru. Bullets struck a car in front of him, and Koehn watched the shooter move through the drive-thru toward his own car, he told NBC News.
'I could tell he was trying to figure out where to go, and somebody in the drive-thru line with a handgun was shooting at him,’ Koehn said.
He described the shooter as ‘panicked,’ looking around and moving ‘kind of erratically.’ Koehn believes the armed bystander kept the gunman from shooting at more people.
‘The shooter was solely focused on him, and [it] allowed us to get out,’ Koehn said. ' mean, the car directly ahead of me was getting shot — it gave them time to leave.'
He doesn’t know what happened before he pulled up to the stoplight, but Koehn said that the ordeal he witnessed lasted about 10 to 15 minutes.
Three people were killed and seven others were injured, two of whom were in critical condition Sunday, Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks said at a news conference.”

Guy buys his first gun.
Decides to make a video demonstrating proper gun handling techniques.
In the parking lot after buying the gun.
It goes as well as you can expect.Look, i'm a gun owner. Target shooting is fun! And i had a concealed carry permit for many years. But i also trained every week. And i didn't do stupid stunts like this, not even at gun ranges, much less parking lots.
To all the people like this guy: please STOP! This is why i've come to support more restrictive gun laws over the years. I don't think guns should be banned, but damn! There sure are a lot of stupid people who don't need to own guns!
