`But that narrative was gleaned from the anti-gun group Everytown for Gun Safety. Here are some facts, in order to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to the facts:

Twice, someone shot themselves on school grounds; one incident, on January 3, featured a man shooting himself in a former school’s parking lot; on January 10 a teen killed himself in an Arizona elementary school bathroom.

Four times, a bullet was fired through a school or dorm’s window: on January 4, a gunshot was fired at a high school in Seattle through an office window; no one was hurt. On January 10, a shot was fired shattering a California State University classroom window. No injuries were reported. The same day, in Texas, a bullet was accidentally fired through a classroom wall at the Grayson College Criminal Justice Center. No one was injured. On January 15, a bullet traveled through a residential hall’s dorm room. No injuries were reported.`

Pretty sure Mother Jones has used that skewed definition in the past tho

`Lethal force is that force which may cause death or grave bodily harm. Grave bodily harm is also defined as crippling injury. You do not fire the gun unless you are on solid legal ground if you kill the citizen you are defending yourself from.

"THE CIRCUMSTANCE WHICH JUSTIFIES HOMICIDE IS IMMEDIATE AND OTHERWISE UNAVOIDABLE DANGER OF DEATH OR GRAVE BODILY HARM TO THE INNOCENT."

Citizens do not fire warning shots.
Warning shots seem like a great idea until one considers that when you're "warning" him, you're actually using lethal force directed toward an individual to make your warning. MA recounts the sad tale of a man who fired a warning shot over another man's head and struck a distant woman, killing her. There is also the case of a musician who, while legally intoxicated, became confused and beat on his neighbor's door so violently the man fired a warning shot through the top of the door. Unfortunately the musician was extraordinarily tall and the "warning shot" was a "head shot."

These are cases of people possessing power that they do not know how to command, and tragedy was the result. If you must pull your gun, be prepared to fire it. If you must fire it, aim it to stop the threat to your life or the lives of innocents. There is no other acceptable use of lethal force.

MA is not an attorney. His is not a law professor. MA is a designated prosecutor with the Grantham police department in New Hampshire. He is a lethal force instructor. In any given year MA will accept and take to trial about 20 cases, where he will act as an expert witness. They seem to split evenly on citizens firing in self defense and police officers firing their weapons in the line of duty. MA does not take cases where he is not reasonably certain, by the evidence, that the defendant is innocent. `

what could possibly go wrong

The C130 crashed during testing, the front firing rockets blinded the pilots.

multiple rockets like that are always dangerous. All it takes is *one* of them to fail to fire, to have a delayed ignition, or just not to burn as clean as the other ones and everything can go awry

Germans used solid rocket boosters during the war and it cost them, too

Hi, I'm Johnny Knoxville and this is. Save some hostages in Iran.

Says here this is why they developed the V-22 Osprey

Which seems much more sensible an idea

the bill bans all AKs, all ARs, and a slew of other guns

2018-03-11 19:45:31 UTC  

looks like it bans any ammunition feeder of more than 10 rounds

"SEC. 5. BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR TRANSFERS OF GRANDFATHERED SEMIAUTOMATIC ASSAULT WEAPONS."

>semiautomatic assault weapons

2018-03-11 19:51:52 UTC  

This whole bill is an attempt to expand the definitions of scary words.

Jesus Christo this is some dumb shit.

It was an interesting idea until it literally crashed and burned

2018-03-11 22:14:26 UTC  

Not easy to train the pilots for it.

Isn't California where those three girls got murdered with a pitchfork because they didn't have access to their parent's firearm that was locked up in a safe?

It has the tactical 12 gauge shotgun attachment.

2018-03-12 08:22:44 UTC  

funny you mention that actually

2018-03-12 08:25:27 UTC  

I'm surprised the firearms industry at large hasn't made more of an effort to make their firearms look and sound less scary

If you're being prosecuted for killing someone in a home invasion, wouldn't you prefer the jury saw you used a Browning BPS (with a wood stock and pump action) or something like a Benelli SuperNova pump action (which is all black and literally has *TACTICAL* engraved into the side of it)
