Remember this article? Well they released some of the video leading up to the incident. After seeing this guy fumble around with the desert eagle it is blatantly obvious neither he nor his girlfriend had any business anywhere near a firearm. These were not the actions of a Responsible Gun owner and incidents like this are often used to paint RGOs in a negative light.
The final moments of a YouTuber’s life before he was shot dead by his girlfriend in an ill-advised stunt have been revealed.
Prosecutors in Norman County, Minnesota on Friday released video and transcripts from the fateful final video of Pedro Ruiz, 22, and his then-pregnant girlfriend Monalisa Perez, 20.

This list could go on and on. The ignorance and stupidity of this generation quite honestly is not only irritating but disturbing to say the least. Who in their right mind would believe that a single book is going to stop a .50 caliber round. Let alone be stupid enough to test the theory by standing behind the book.
