Remember: Just because you don’t see clowns doesn’t mean they aren’t there.

Please could you explain (to a UK citizen) what crime the guy has committed (by firing at imaginary clowns in his own home) to warrent five years in prison…!!! Disturbing the peace? Firing a firearm whilst under the influence of alcohol? What about the US right to bear arms (against imaginary clowns)?

Reckless endangerment comes to mind. Depending on what kind of rounds he was shooting they could go through walls. Firing weapons at imaginary clowns is a good way to inadvertently hit someone who isn’t an imaginary clown.
That said 5 years seems like a bit much unless he has a previous history.

He concluded that the only thing that could save him from bad clowns with guns was to be a good clown with a gun.
The ammosexuals will now likely demand that he not be deprived of his Second Amendment rights while he’s in prison.

What an idiot. You’re supposed to shoot clowns with seltzer or pies, not shotguns.

When will America realize it needs to prohibit drunks from owning guns?
eta: or perhaps better, prohibit gun owners from buying booze? (thanks for the suggestion, @Faffenreffer)

I feel like we didn’t get the whole story here. How does a guy get 5 years for a negligent discharge?

I say work it from the other side and prohibit gun owners from drinking.You can either have a license to own a gun or a license to drink. There will be fewer incidences of drunken fusillades at invisible assailants, and I suspect, fewer gun owners. All good.

The post is inaccurate. The linked article says the sentence is “22 months to five years.” He also plead guilty to an unrelated drunk driving charge.
