A North Carolina man is accused in the accidental shooting death of his cousin. It was just after 11:00 p.m. on Monday, June, 9th, that Rowan County Sheriff’s Deputies were called to the scene of a possible shooting.

Officers arrived to find 23-year-old Roy Jacob Bryant suffering from a shotgun wound. He was taken to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries a short time later, according to WCNC.

1. Gun fanciers will say such tragedies are the price we must pay so they can play with their toys.

4. They will. Then light up a J, drape a Gadsen Flag...

...and vote Rand Paul.

2. Well....it was just his cousin.

6. I wonder if their insatiable lust for gunplay mitigates any grief they might otherwise feel.

"Yep, m'cuzzin is day-ed, but at least Ah gots to shoot 'eem with m'gun!"

7. Some people are careless, negligent, or criminal with guns.

I'm sure your happy to have the fodder for your culture war.

I imagine the families are grief stricken.

11. Cultural war?

You mean the "cultural" war that results in tens of thousands of dead and maimed Americans every year, including plenty of children? That "cultural" war?

[aikoaiko]

13. No I mean the one where anti gunners take glee

And delight over gun owners shooting themselves or others in in order to promote new gun legislation that would have nothing to do with the accidents they claim to want to prevent.

That culture war.

14. You mean we're supposed to wait until gunners admit that guns kill people?

Guns kill people.

Lots of people.

And kids.

"Accidentally" or on purpose.

Every day.

8. I'm really taking to "Second Amendment" as a verb

!!!

[City Lights]

9. Same here!

[etherealtruth]

10. Yet another death directly attributable to the idiocy ...

... that is gun culture.

The victim was 23 years old .... life really just started, but was abruptly ended by a gun.

12. Now if we could just ban them like drugs, nobody would hurt themselves

It all seems so very simple, until you think on it in depth.

[BrotherIvan]

15. I know right?

Gun control doesn't work anywhere in the world...oh wait.

[GeorgeGist]

16. I think most of us would like more regulation of guns.

I doubt that anything significant regulation will occur unless Congress itself is the target of gun nuttery.
