Today’s Quickie:

Irony is not dead, and luckily, neither are two men:

BLOOMINGTON — Two men were injured in an accidental shooting Saturday morning at the ECA Gun and Knife Show at Bloomington’s Sale Barn.

An attendee at the show was handling a mini-14 semiautomatic rifle at about 11:15 a.m. As the patron was laying the rifle back on a vendor table, the gun accidentally discharged, said McLean County Sheriff Mike Emery. [...]

The sheriff said one man suffered a chest wound. Details of the second person’s injuries were not immediately available.

Via our own Cliff Schecter:  “As the NRA says, more guns make places safer…That’s why Somalia is such a popular tourist destination…”

That was today’s Quickie. Will you still respect me in the morning?

    Gun control at its finest. Is the defense going to be “I didn’t know it was loaded?” What ever happened to teaching people about gun safety?

    Really, I swear guns don’t kill people… it’s those darn stupid bullets that the stupid people put in the guns… Geesh!

    OK…why are there loaded weapons at a gun show? Because it isn’t illegal? The NRA is a bunch of morons with bullets where their brains used to be.
