Gun Control Advocate-Actor Alec Baldwin Shoots Two People, Killing One

You think each one should be investigated on its own merits.

That means you think not all unintentional discharges should be prosecuted.

Because I believe in responsibility, the 'merits' are whether the gun shot someone. Pretty easy to prove.

So....enlighten me. What unintentional discharge situations shouldn't be prosecuted?

A rabbit hole I'm not going down. I'm all in favor of everyone having their day in court.

A rabbit hole I'm not going down. I'm all in favor of everyone having their day in court.

Which means you think not all unintentional discharges are prosecutable negligence.

So, you're doing exactly what I said - removing blanket responsibility from gun owners.

 

[wilberforce15]

Me: Gun owners are responsible for what their gun does.

Gun owners: "EFAEMF :SEKFHSWEFE,, MAYBE JNOT SOMETIMES THEY SHOUDL HAVE THEIR DAY IN COURT>@>ERR@

Absolutely. Everyone deserves their day in court.

You believe in guilty until proven innocent.

What law has everyone violated?

Stupid actions are not always criminal.

 

[wilberforce15]

Absolutely. Everyone deserves their day in court.

So you're affirming that a gun owner may not be responsible for what his gun does.

And I support the day in court as well. The court should have to prove that his gun expelled a bullet and hurt someone or something or was discharged where it's not legal to shoot. That's the end of the case. If it did, he's guilty.

Stupid actions are not always criminal.

If you discharge a firearm where discharging a firearm is illegal, then it should be prosecuted. This ain't hard.

What if no law was broken?

 

[over9five]

This ain't hard.

Actually, you're over simplifying it to meet your anti gun agenda.

 

[wilberforce15]

What if no law was broken?

Negligently harming someone or someone's property is always illegal.

He has never been to a gun show, and he is no firearms instructor.

I take blanket responsibility for anything that leaves my barrel.

You don't.

 

[over9five]

You don't.

You don't own a gun.

Gin sucks.

Negligently harming someone or someone's property is always illegal.

You are moving the goalposts to continue to push your agenda.

When did I say anything about harming someone?

This entire thread is about negligent discharges that cause harm.

Nobody is going to prosecute you for negligently shooting the dirt on your own country property.

So you finally admit not all accidental discharges are criminal. There may be hope for you yet.

 

[wilberforce15]

Oh man, Google had this great image of Wilberforce daily carry. I'm glad I found one perfect for this situation so I could fake ownership.

You are willfully adding stupid context that was never part of the discussion. I submit that I didn't have enough foresight of your stupidity, and I did not add "Unless you're only negligently shooting your own country dirt"
