I feel for the guy and family, I really do.

But what chaps me is how these evil guns keep deciding to kill folks at will.

I can just see the next bill introduced:
Pursuant to the safety of the citizens of NE, we hereby doth proclaim, any and all firearm maintenance shall be performed only by a state approved and funded and licensed gunsmith. (enter omitted leagalese et tu: extra hereins, therefors, thereintos, up to and inclusive ofs)
I guess I shouldn't throw the ideas out there for them. But the title should have read:
Negligent firearm discharge claims life. With all the latest news throughout the state and the country, our uphill just got steeper and the battle more ferocious!
