I dread to think the consequences if macho nut sneezed whilst proving his incompettence with a loaded firearm. :-(

[Mamyalynne]

Idiotic posturing.

[pastafreak]

Paywall...:(

// Paywall //

no, just click "not now".

[sanmac]

They're nuts.

[retrocop]

Just a sneeze and they would either be singing contralto or Hebrew depending where the round lodged. :-(

It only needs one balls up and you would have one.

[Ken4155]

They've been doing this for ages. How else do you explain Tiny Tim's voice?

[Patsy33]

Not only do they shoot their mouths off.....

[retrocop]

I always thought his suspenders wee maladjusted.

//They've been doing this for ages.//
Of course Ken. Since The Revolutionary Wars. The Redcoats were armed with musket and ball.

[retrocop]

Dodgy old weapons those Brown Bess muskets. They had two detente positions on the hammer when loading and priming. If it went off prematurely it was 'half cock' and no longer 'full cock' and that ain't no cock and ball story. :-)

//And voilà, just like that – proof they are very manly.//

One slip - and voilà, just like that - proof that they're not very manly at all. Oops!

lol, Patsy.

Well, I suppose Normos like me will have to wait for the bad luck stories to come in.

[Old_Geezer]

"Gun owners are putting their metal where their manhoods are in a bizarre trend that sees men courting danger to prove how mentally unsuited they are to manage a gun."

There, fixed it.

[Peter Pedant]

god that would make me squeak
I am not sure if before or after or always

[tomus42]

Natural selection in action.

[alavahalf]

Being familiar with firearms doesn't guarantee your safety ..!

[tomus42]

That's brilliant alavahalf. If your gun jams look down the barrel to see if you can see the problem. pmsl.

I recall,whilst staying in a hotel in Malta, a young man who latched on to two young British ladies. They were all about mid twenties. The chap was quite good looking but something was just not quite right and he looked a bit detached and lost.
Apparently he was South African and was in the care of his parents permanently who had accompanied him on holiday.
When he was in his late teens he got into a poker game where much rum was consumed. A gun was produced and dares were issued to play Russian Roulette. This muppet took up the dare and blew some of his brain away. Shades of Oscar Pretorius with a firearm.
Perhaps I should of included South Africa in the title.

I don't understand why pointing a gun at your genitalia makes you appear brave.

But then again, I don't understand why anyone would actually want to own a gun - horrible things.
