| Quote: | A 19-year-old trying to take an Instagram selfie died Tuesday.
The teen tried to take a picture of himself holding a gun to his head when the gun went off, according to the Houston Police Department.
The Texas victim’s uncle said he ran into the apartment and attempted to resuscitate his nephew but he had already died.
The victim’s family said the teen, who has not been identified by investigators, leaves behind two young daughters and that he was a fun-loving person. Family members said the shooting was a complete accident and the victim never talked about suicide. |

Spike tv has a show called 100 ways to die. It shows the stupid ways people have died.
They had an episode where a kid thought it was okay to shoot a gun with blanks against his head (jokingly). Even though they were blanks, the pressure released still killed him.
This story reminds me of that.

I was thinking more along the line of banning guns but that would help alleviate the problem of idiots with guns.

| I'm sickened by the liberal sentiment on LG. This kid could have just as easily stabbed himself with a knife while doing a selfie. We don't need gun control, we need less liberals. |

I think this says more about the urge to take selfies and the culture of gun romanticizing. |
