NRA leader Wayne La Pierre was speaking recently about how American gun
owners are the smartest people in the world. He may not have met
Presley, a Georgia man who loaded up his lawnmower with explosives and
shot it with a shotgun, losing a leg in the process. Cenk Uygur, host of
The Young Turks, breaks it down.
"A Walton County man's leg was severed just below
the knee with a piece of shrapnel when he and his friends blew up a lawn
mower.
Media outlets report the incident happened Wednesday afternoon in a rural area between Monroe and Bethlehem.
According
to reports from the sheriff's office, the men were using Tannerite to
blow up the lawn mower. Tannerite is a combination of chemicals sold
legally at most sporting goods stores.
One of the men told
deputies they put three pounds of Tannerite inside the mower and
32 year old David Presley shot a gun at the Tannerite to ignite an
explosion.
A piece of shrapnel hit Presley's leg, severing it.
Presley had to be airlifted to Grady Hospital in Atlanta, where his
condition was unavailable Wednesday.”
