@georgetakei this is why you don't have Yosemite Sam officiate your wedding.

@georgetakei “a wedding that incorporated the use of a firearm as part of the nuptials.”

WTF?

Please don't include me, George, in that collective "we've". I'm afraid the people that shoot their own or other's children because they can't live without their guns have always been around in the US. I don't think that there are more of them now - they're just more likely to be public about their addiction.

I am certainly no more likely to bring out handguns at a party now than I ever have been. "We" have not changed. We have always been a nation of guns. We need to get over it

Well, if only the grandson had been armed, he could have defended himself.

1. He accidentally shot his grandson.
2. He continued with the wedding while I assume an ambulance was taking his grandson to the hospital.

One of the first things my strong on gun safety dad taught us was the fact guns are not toys.
The fact he went ahead with the wedding after shooting his grandson is beyond imagination and despicable.

@georgetakei Europe: To get the attention of the audience, you carefuly hit a wine glass with a spoon, a kind of improvised bell.

USA: shot. At a wedding as a courtesy only blanks.

@georgetakei Sorry to disagree... this isn't what we've become. It's what we are and always were.

@georgetakei ...when Gardner fired the shot in the air to herald the bride's entrance.

Gardner must not have heard of Felix Mendelssohn's Wedding March. That usually does the trick in getting the guests' attention.

@georgetakei No shooting is accidental, if someone chooses to carry a loaded weapon there’s intent to shoot it.
And blanks can kill as well as a bullet, look up Brandon Lee, or Jon-Erik Hexum

@georgetakei Actually, I find this to be typical yahoo behavior. This kind of idiocy has been happening in Texas and the Deep South since yahoos first stepped forth into America.

@georgetakei disagree George, this is what they have become.
