guns dont kill people stupid people kill people

Seriously? No, really...is he SERIOUSLY that stupid?

wow, just wow...

Hahahahahaha. ROFL! Only and I mean only in America, people. LMFAO!

ish ... that's gonna be a weird Family meeting

@BigViper:
Hear hear.

ha..a way to start my day

@bigMoneyMIKE: agreed, i feel bad for the wife to marry such a stupid man to begin with

No one thinks its suspicious at all?

Like, 'hey honey, go stand outside and tell me when you see the drill come out'.

Darwin award winner 2008.

Some will claim, well if he shot himself by having it bounce on him then it'd be a shoe in. But I argue this point, "She willingly choose to marry him".

Why was he putting a satellite dish in his bedroom?

He hit her in the chest?
How high was he trying to put that hole in the wall?
Never mind, he is obviously stupid...everyone knows that it's better to shoot a hole into your house and not out of it. NOOB

@BigViper: Yes good point.
Couldn't he have warned his wife i mean bullets travel at amazing speeds. HOW THE HELL didnt he think he could've killed someone. I guess he really didnt love his wife because i would've made sure that she was atleast inside the room with me just in case and no children outside.
Stupid I'm sure he'll take precautions if he'll ever do something like that again.

What?!! Are you for real?! A gun!?? How sad. This is another reminder never to trust the human race for any reason whatsoever....and I'm usually the optimist!

"On the up side, Ronald now has DirecTV."

On the downside, the reason he got DTV was so his wife could watch DIY, & Home & Garden TV.

@SneakerFiend: i have a pretty good feeling he wont be doing that again

this is some fantastic bathroom reading material

Some people just need not procreate and bring offsprings into this world.

There is an outside chance that he is a genius who planned this whole thing to eliminate his wife so that he won't have to fight for the remote control.

On the other hand, the wife is in a much better place now.

This is officially the funniest thing I've read all day.

It's a good alibi, I suppose. Extra credit for originality.

this can't be true, it's sounds like a sub-urban legend
are you sure it was not a trailer in the Appalachian Mountains,
Hick, Hick...

@jiffy: lol i think your kinda right....but man damn R.I.P to the wife

Man, this makes me sick. I mean, I couldn't face the world or anybody if I did this. I mean what will he say at the funeral?

Funny, but not darwin-award funny. An innocent woman just died because of his idiocy. More sad-funny.

Now, if he had done the same but instead of hitting his wife, shot a hole through a vital support beam, collapsing the roof and crushing himself, then it would be funny.

"On the up side, Ronald now has DirecTV. Silver linings, people."

In poor taste Giz.

Comcast will do this for you.

I'm trying to laugh at this, but I just can't. This is horribly sad. It just proves how moronic gun ownership being a "right" is. Clearly not everyone should be able to get one, at very least not without classes and a safety test. This womans life could have been saved by a simple true or false question:

Firing a gun through a wall without checking if there is anyone on the other side is an acceptable home-improvement shortcut as long as it means you get to watch Nascar sooner: T or F?

Wow! Terrible idea!

@Ghede: She married him. Indirect Darwin candidate. If he had thought this was ok, she should have seen the writing on the wall before this happened, I'm sure this was not the first stupid thing he has done since they were married.

On a side note, has this guy ever fired a gun before? does he know what the exit hole from a bullet looks like? Why the hell would he think that was ok? I can imagine a set of pictogram instructions (ala Ikea) with a "1x" and a picture of various tools, screwdriver, hammer, ladder, handgun.

He can afford a gun, but not a drill?, not even a HAND drill?

"If all the assholes are to be put in a cage, there would be no people left to close the door"

@Sheemo44: This exact thing? No probably not. Something just as stupid, more than likely. (hopefully with less dire circumstances)

if he ever comes out of prison (and he better goes there on i dont know what charges) and then finds a woman again ... how will he explain that to her "Well you know i shot my first wife ... but it was an accident ... really"

@boxernyc: but the gun idea was upper crust, my friend, upper crust. Salt of the Earth.

The bullet should have ricocheted and taken out Rumsfeld. I WTF the guy's name is. Long. Long-shot more like it!

(waiting)

Now he can sue DirectTV for wrongful death of his wife.

@tinshaker: "I MEAN whatever the F.."

Hopefully this occurred prior to the two producing any offspring.

I marvel at the thought process, or complete lack thereof, that must go into something like this. No one ever thinks of the possibility of ricochet, or that, as in this case, that the projectile will travel significantly further than expected.

I feel bad for the loss of the woman. It would have been funny if he had shot his above ground swimming pool or something to that effect. Ah well, you can't write stupid, you have to just let it happen.

"A gun is not a weapon, Marge. It's a tool. Like a butcher knife, or a harpoon, or...uh, a...an alligator. You just need more education on the subject."

is he really stupid? or REALLY REALLY smart?

He must of got the idea from The Simpsons, you know when Homer uses his gun to turn off the lights, open his beer, and change the channel on his TV.

life imitating art imitating life

brilliant

I also don't see the humor in an idiot taking out somebody aside from himself. Somebody lost their mother, daughter, family member. On a side note, I'm curious to see if investigations in the house expose the other uses the husband found for the gun. I'm guessing there are holes in the following: Light switches and/or light bulbs; Channel up button on TV; Miller High Life tall boy cans; The cat; The wall resulting from fly control/hunting; The alarm clock; The cat again for good measure.

Shame it didn't ricochet and take out his nutsack - thereby assuring the world he will not breed.

@_@ lol

1. Install's the dish.
2. Murder's Wife.

Now he can watch re-runs of Soul Train on Saturday mornings in peace and quiet.....and HD!

Two birds with one stone? Only kidding. :)

Only in America, endeed.

John Winchester here.

@BigViper: Guns don't kill people, stupid people with guns kill people...

this story brings me one step closer to ultimately losing all faith in man-kind...

This qualifies him to be our president and vice president, all in one.

@Lupison: Darwin Award goes to the guy who tried to rob the muffler shop in Chicago.

Only in Missoura.

He's better off now. There's nobody to nag him while he's watching football.

In his defense, I did once use a sword to cut a hole in a wall so that I could run ethernet cable. Of course, a sword doesn't go flying out of my hand at supersonic speeds.

And you guys fear our Great Robot Overloards. They would keep us from harming ourselves. It is logical. The first LAW would eventually protect us all.
