    the antis and their media pets will be positively salivating to make capital out of this .forget about any decency&sensitvity toward the families of those involved.
    So by definition a criminal with a firearm committing a crime with said firearm resulting in a fatality....albeit unintentional,

    A more accurate headline would be "Fatality as Poacher accidentally shoots older man" then wait for the uproar when it is pointed out that poaching isn't criminal here....

    And you are correct, there will be no thoughts given by media towards the family....and just wait until someone says a register would have stopped this....(we know it wouldnt but thats never stopped the media before)
    Ross Nolan and XR500 like this.
    Intelligence has its limits, but it appears that Stupidity knows no bounds......
