Re: Guns Pew Pew Pew
The 1934 act didn't take away but made it very very difficult and expensive, to own a machine gun, sawed off shotgun(or rifle), and suppressors (silencers). Those three items were the primary points of the law and you could still legally have them if you jumped through more hoops and paid more money than normal people would think it was worth. This is half the cake taken away. I'm not sure where artillery and weapons of mass destruction came into the picture.
Looks to me like the 1968 act and subsequent nibbles are trying to stop end runs made by smart but shifty people, often made possible by increased tech.
Now he claims he's been abused, his good nature taken advantage of, while he's gotten nothing back.
He still has ready access to all the guns he can use for hunting, self defense, target, skeet, clay pigeons, etc.
but wants his machine guns, sawed-off shotguns, and silencers back.
I realize there is now a whole lot of people who tremble at the word gun, because they know nothing about them and equate them with rattlesnakes, likely to jump up and kill you at any moment. I think that position is as unjustifiable as needing a machine gun for concealed carry.
But I don't see any rational reasoning on the horizon... on any subject.

Re: Guns Pew Pew Pew
News reports of the "Risk" movie shooting are speaking with authority that the problem came from "opening the hatch and spinning the drum."
I have owned several revolvers and don't think any had hatches or drums.
There are also reports that the guns used for the movie were often taken by various folks on the set to go out in the desert and shoot whatever. Plinking of any kind seems to work better with live ammo, so there must have been a mix of live with blank.
Complacency and carelessness seem to be the culprits.
Baldwin may be held accountable as a producer, if not the shooter.

Re: Guns Pew Pew Pew
"Rust", not "Risk", though that rename might be appropriate...
It's a western, so it was probably a pretty old-fashioned gun.
Agree on Baldwin's culpability as producer; if he was involved in the decision to proceed despite safety complaints and the resulting walkoff and scab replacements, then he shares the blame.

Re: Guns Pew Pew Pew
tw should be all over this. It's classic top management hiring the bottom of the barrel to cut costs, cutting corners, and being surprised when safety is a problem.
Looks like the armorer is going to be a scapegoat though, she makes a good one, when really it's the top dogs who are mostly to blame.

Re: Guns Pew Pew Pew
I had an idea that that system was what they were talking about.
That inspection would tell which cylinders were loaded and which had firing pin marks, but probably not tell live from blank or positively if fired.
Folks who are serious about firearm safety often look like chickenshit oc nerds with all their precautions.
They also look alive.

Re: Guns Pew Pew Pew
Oh god no, belly gunner is a crazy job. Who do you think they'll be shooting at, both from the ground and fighter planes attacking the belly. Cramped up in that turret that's hard to get out of, and impossible to exit fast.
Strictly a death wish job.
