DIY = DOA

Don’t get me wrong — I’ve done some truly stupid stuff in the course of my amateur DIY efforts around the house. Things that would make my father cringe (hi, Dad!) if he were aware of them. But thankfully (and lucky for McBec) I’ve never done anything quite as dumb as this.

A man who tried to use a gun to install a satellite television system ended up shooting his wife dead by accident.

Ronald Long tried to make a hole in the exterior wall of his house in Missouri, US, to install the dish for the system.

After several unsuccessful attempts, he got a .22-calibre handgun and blasted two holes in the wall.

The second bullet hit his wife, Patsy, in the chest, fatally wounding her.

Another day, another shootup

The sixth school shooting in a week has taken place today.

Mentions of these tragedies on pro-gun, trigger-happy AWH?

Zero.

Must be difficult to promote your cause when the inconvenient facts are staring you in your face.
