Another evil gun
« on: January 21, 2009, 03:37:23 AM »
Just read on the Fox news page, were down in Florida, at a stage company, an actor got shot. Seems the vice president,director, or whatever he calls himself,(I think idiot would be appropriate!!) picked up a ''prop gun'', pointed it at one of the actors head's, and pulled the trigger. Luckily, his aim was off, and grazed his ear. They didn't say if it was just a blank, or loaded with real ammo. I know what we'll hear in the next day or 2. It was the prop mans fault, the guns fault, NRA's fault, the manufacturer's fault. I think they ought to try the moron on attempted murder charge's. I believe there have been at least 2 actors killed like this. The only consolation might be,if they didn't breed yet, maybe the gene pool might go up in IQ.  gypsyman

I hadn't read about this yet, but it goes to show you that the guy knew nothing about firearms.  The first and golden rule of guns is to treat them all like they're loaded (with real bullets). 

Pointing a gun at anyone trying to be funny is grounds for a thorough @$$ kicking.  I bet this guys heart just about stopped when he realized what a bonehead move he just pulled.

i few  years  ago  in Jacksonville Florida

a black  minister was preaching  the evils  of  guns to his congregation

he pulled a gun  LOADED WITH BLANKS

definitely blanks

put  it to his   head to show how evil  the gun was  and shot himself

the concussion from  the BLANK  killed  him  in front  of them all

this  is the man  they  turn  to for advice  so what does that tell  you about them

now  that is cleaning up the gene  pool

i  would wager the  IQ of  gunshot deaths  involve people of below average IQ

Brandon Lee, son of Bruce Lee, was killed  during the filming of  "The crow".(1994)

Because the movie's second unit team was running behind schedule, it was decided that dummy cartridges (cartridges that outwardly appear to be functional but contain no gunpowder or primer) would be made from real cartridges by pulling out the bullet, dumping out the gunpowder and reinserting the bullet.
 However, the team neglected to consider that the primer was still live and, if fired, could still produce enough force to push the bullet off the end of the cartridge.
 At some point prior to the fatal scene, the live primer on one of the constructed dummy rounds was discharged by persons unknown while in the pistol's chamber.
 It caused a squib load, in which the primer provided just enough force to push the bullet out of the cartridge and into the barrel of the revolver, where it became stuck.

The malfunction went unnoticed by the crew, and the same gun was used again later to shoot the death scene, having been re-loaded with low-power black powder blanks.
However, the squib load was still lodged in the barrel, and was propelled by the blank cartridge's explosion out of the barrel and into Lee's body.
 Although the bullet was traveling much slower than a normally fired bullet would be, the bullet's large size and the point-blank firing distance made it powerful enough to fatally wound Lee. :'(

The incident in Florida, if I heard right, was a group of Seniors putting on a play ( forgot what it was, I have a vision of 80 year olds putting on "Billy the Kid" ). One of the flue-hairs brought a gun from home to use, "didn't know it was loaded", and gave someone a new part-line in their scalp!!
Speaking of Movies/TV shows, don't forget about 15 years ago there was a TV series with some "hunky" male lead ( Jon Eric-Hux...something ). During a break in filming, he put a .44 mag with blanks to his temple, pulled the trigger for fun, and the blast dislodged a check of skull, into his brain ( obviously something he did not use to fullest extent!), coma, brain dead, family pulled plug and donated organs.
It never ends!

I have to admit I did a very very very stupid thing as a kid. I must of been around 11 or 12 years old. I think about it today and wonder how I could of been so stupid. Well anyway me and my best friend were playing around with my Marlin 22 LR. I got some 22 blanks from somewhere. I don't remember where I got them from now but it was summer time and we did not have shirts on. I wanted to scare him so I loaded a blank and fired the rifle about 6 or 8 inches from his chest. He ended up getting powder burns from it. I still can't believe I was that stupid. I guess I did it because I was just young and stupid. :o :-[ Dale

GatCat, that's the one I was thinking of. Wasn't it kind of a McGiver type show? What I can remember was his mother on some tv interviews, just blasting away,(pun intended), on how dangerous guns were. Wonder how she would have reacted if he walked out in front of a bus!
What should be done, because most of these numbnuts have never actually been around firearms, is the prop guys should sit down and give them a 1-2hr. training lesson in firearms.  gypsyman
