Unbelievable that can happen at golf, fortunately not possible in New Zealand as we're not allowed personal firearms. Thinking it's a trust issue here, very sad day for his family. RIP...

Dangerously close to politics. Avoid.

One should still be able to assume what’s in news is true.

Three dead:

facebook-default-wide.jpg?s=1400

Gene Siller, a golf pro at Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw, Ga., was found dead at the 10th hole of the course. Two other men's bodies were found in the back of a pickup truck nearby.

Sounds like he was checking into something without knowing how serious it was.

This is dangerously naive in the world we live in.  

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Totally senseless.  Betting the shooter/killer is not totally there.  Will be interested to see how this all shakes out... there may be "the rest of the story."

It’s not naïve. It’s just not always true, but there are still many who write actual news stories.

Maybe a bit hopeful. But also that’s not an American news site.

Yes it is true but has been forever really, the so called crackdown is against automatic guns as a result of the Christchurch massacre. You don’t miss what you never had although to be fair as reference as a young man I had a .22 Winchester rifle and then a xarmy.303 for deer and pig hunting. As @iacas said this is not about politics just the sad loss of a mans life…

A perspective that some may find interesting (and weird).

I was in NZ a couple of years ago - I visit every year at least once - and was driving out of Aoraki Mt Cook, a few kilometres from the village in a totally unpopulated area in the middle of the photo I have attached right where the "80" is. I saw a man walking along the road and into the grass carrying what I guess was a .22 rifle.  Many people would see this on a daily basis and think nothing of it, but, coming from a place without  gun culture, I thought it was one of the strangest, eeriest things I have ever seen. He was probably licenced to shoot feral animals, but to me it was an almost surreal sight.

I only mention this to point out interesting cultural differences amongst friends who in so many areas of life are so similar.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

It is naive to assume a news story is true.  It is realistic to assume that in the absence of actual facts that can be corroborated it is fake.

I could give you literally (the real meaning of literally) hundreds of examples but that would cross over into the forbidden territory of politics.  

C'mon, I've been around here long enough to know that you are way too smart to assume that a given news story is true.

But then again, what the hell do I know?
