    Newscaster Somehow Finds Valuable Lesson in Story of a Dog Shooting His Owner

    First off, yes, this is just an excuse to post a local news report about a dog shooting his owner (from a boat!), but it DID AIR ON TV and is part of the beautiful art form that is television, sort of. Also, it is notable that the newscaster used this story as a warning about "gun safety" as if this freak scenario could possibly happen again. The only disappointing thing about this report is the unexpected lack of an "asking random bystanders what they think about a dog shooting his owner" element. Leaving that out is just bad local news reporting (via Buzzfeed):

      Where are the cries for outlawing guns now. Oh, I guess if your really a dog and not just a "dog" it is okay to shot someone. Come on Brady bunch, let's get this pooch.

      I guess the valuable lesson is, "Don't let dogs have shotguns."
      Stay tuned for the NRA to defend dogs' gun rights.
      "When dogs can't shoot guns, only ... oh, wait."

        GARYC Not sure if you are a genuine idiot who believes everyone who believes in their constitutional right to own and carry arms is an idiot or if you are just one of those idiots that thinks he's incredibly smarter than every one else and is trying to be funny (PS here's a news flash for you - you're not you are just an idiot who has not been mugged yet!) - There's nothing funny about having some one sticking a gun (or knife or whatever) in your face or in one of your family members faces and you are not allowed by the authorities to own (or carry) a firearm - You should thank which ever God you pray to everyday that you live in America where there are a large number of people (NRA included) who have the right to fight idiots like you every day to try make Americans realize what freedoms they have

        Sky I have been almost mugged coming out of my bank. The guy followed me out. He saw me cash a check it was Christmas time. I look him in the face and told him staight out don't even think about it. Even though I was shaking like jello inside, he apparently thought I had some kind of weapon like pepper spray or tazer. You do not need a gun to defend yourself all you need is your voice. I am a 5' 5" woman. GaryC was just joking and I thought is was funny. Gar don't worry about it some people just have no sence of humor.Gary one of your FREEDOMS also includes MAKING JOKES ABOUT STUPID ACCIDENTS LIKE THIS ONE !!
