Local anti-gun council person is an idiot!..

The county I live in recently had a proposal put forward which would have prohibited the discharging of firearms within 300 yards of a home. Why, I don't know, besides all the dang yuppee yankees moving here who then complain about people doing what people here have always done in the past. :rolleyes: So, one council person suggests that enough people haven't died yet to justify the passage of this bill. What?... Is accidental shooting a serious problem here? No, perhaps you should look to the inner-city gang and drug problems before focusing narrowly on a non-issue such as accidental shootings and a few scared liberal yankees who've never heard a gun discharged?...

Here's a comment from the idiot on the failure to pass the bill.

Quote:

“We will never get this ordinance passed in Anderson County,” said council member Gracie Floyd, one of those voting in favor of the proposal. “It’s going to take a couple of people getting killed for that to happen.”

Now, here's the kicker to all this. Ms. Floyd, a Democrat (I know, BIG surprise there...), recently purchased a pistol to defend her family. Having never taken the responsibility to go out and learn to shoot, the dumbarse ended up shooting herself and a family member in the living room of her home. Wouldn't some good quality shooting time have helped her skills and prevented the accident? I would think so... ;)

BELTON, S.C. -- An Anderson County councilwoman was recovering on Saturday after accidentally shooting herself in her Belton home.

Anderson County councilwoman Gracie Floyd's home in Belton.
Gracie Floyd was taken to a hospital Friday afternoon.
Deputies said Floyd was in her living room trying to clear the bullets out of the chamber of her .40-caliber gun and familiarize herself with it when it went off.

Floyd's cousin was shot in the finger and Floyd was hit in the leg. Neither suffered any life-threatening injuries. In fact, officials said she's in good spirits.

In a written statement, Floyd, "While my son was visiting two months ago, someone pulled into our yard and damaged our lawns. As a result of repeated targeting and threats, I have been forced to arm myself."
She said she is "thankful for and blessed by the outpouring of prayers and support from the community."

Deputies ruled the incident as an accidental shooting. No one will be charged.
