Want to make a “firing range” pun, but nothing’s coming to me…leaving this as a placeholder in case inspiration strikes later.

Good move. The last thing you want to do is post a half-baked pun.

What about a fully baked gun?

I think the subject of the news article already baked it plenty

The range was hot at the time so firing should have been expected?

Who knew? Them damn guns need a warning that says “Do not store in or near excessive heat, fire or flame”…

🤦‍♂️

A quick image search finds this warning label on ammunition saying to store it in a cool, dry place.

pffftt guns can never be the problem, we need to add the safety label to the ovens!

No one ever thought of making such a warning because nobody thought anyone would be this stupid!

I’ve literally seen pocket lighters that had a warning that said “Do not use near fire or flame”, coming from a device literally designed to generate fire! 😂

People have already proven themselves excessively stupid, I don’t see why guns aren’t required to have a lengthy safety warning literally etched into the metal by now. 🤷‍♂️

As Dave Barry famously observed, the box a Water Pik comes in bears the warning, “Do not use while sleeping.”

Guns already have lengthy safety warnings etched into them. Unfortunately, there definitely isn’t enough space to describe every moronic thing people could do with them.

Hey America, how you doing?

Don’t keep your gun in the oven.

Oh.
