This flip side to ownership rights should also get some attention.

Guns are tools to make living things dead. They need to be properly handled. Gun safety a very reasonable subject to address, but nowhere near a "flip side" to the right to bear arms.

Morons will be morons. Nothing to do with gun laws, except maybe culls the herd a bit and that aint a bad thing.

I have to agree on the assessment that they guy might not have been too bright.  The story does mention that the guy tried to lie and say an intruder shot him.  If he wasn't smart enough to know that was going to be figured out, I'm guessing he's not Einstein in the first place. 

If I cut Myself with a knife in the kitchen, should we ban those?

crap... I would totally be out of a job! Actually, I managed to cut myself with a potato once (no, really, I did. It was pretty kick ass actually), maybe ban those too.

Also in 1997, an estimated 64,207 persons sustained nonfatal firearm-related injuries and were treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments

Okay, that's around 100,000 people that year. I'll admit that's a rather large number.

It's actually slightly above 200,000 in 2008.

But, the number of knife related injuries for 1994... 472,201
Reported.

Please, don't take my knives away...

Probably the wider point in the op is that 'this moron' as people put it passed all the required sanity tests that the pro gun lobby bang on about but still inflicted a gunshot wound on himself. The only conclusion to draw from this and other incidents where some nutjob goes on the rampage is that the mental health checks, if they exists at all, don't work well enough.

However we don't know from this link if it was a legally owned firearm I suppose. However there was no mention of him being arrested for having an illegal firearm. I'm not really familiar with the inconsistencies in state laws regarding such things. i.e. some states probably let you win guns in a lucky dip whereas with others you need to pass a test to demonstrate fitness.

But lying to the cops about it? Now that takes stupidity.

just to show what troll post the OP is, let ban fucking doctors!

National Medical Malpractice Statistics If you have suffered or are suffering from medical malpractice you may be feeling alone but medical malpractice has become a larger problem than most people realize and than medical professionals want to admit. Latest statistics actually show that probably around 225,000 people die every year due to some form of medical malpractice, and that is an uncomfortable number for patients and health care professionals. Sadly even such great numbers of fatalities have not brought about the investigative measures that actually are needed to decrease the numbers of deaths relating to medical malpractice.

talking to the cops.  even smart attorneys refrain from talking with cops even in regard to ,minor traffic issues because you put in a turnip and out comes a mushroom.

words evaporate and transmutate

I was always to not take off the safety until you were actually ready to shoot.

It was drilled  into head at a young age to treat every gun as if it is loaded.  I knew we kept no loaded guns in the house but the first I thing I did if I took out the case was unload it.

If I put it back and went back 10 minutes later I unloaded it again even though I new perfectly well it was never loaded.

My Dad taught me well.

So what kind of attention would you suggest ?   Let me guess, ban guns, outlaw guns, register guns, special gun locks, smart guns, require a masters degree in gun safety for a permit to own a gun, require them to be kept in the garage maybe. What pray I ask ???

Did you watch the second video?

The one RO posted?

First, he was giving a lecture on gun safety.

Second, he was bragging about how professional he was in the use of guns.

Sorry, but it just doesn't get any funnier than that.
