That was a policy at the company I was employed by, that all injuries were at fault. Either the injured party failed to follow the procedure and was at fault or the injured party followed the procedure and the procedure was at fault, but there were no accidents, only negligence. I suppose someone walking across the mezzanine getting hit by a meteorite would have strained the definition, but I had to fill out a lot of documentation about how we were changing our pest control program when one of my guys got stung by a yellowjacket.
AOC called out a gun company exec for running an ad with a guy with a white supremacist tattoo. The exec tried to plead innocence.
This dude also claimed that mass shootings are local problems which need to be solved locally.
Maloney asked two CEOs of gun companies, Marty Daniel of Daniel Defense, LLC, and Christopher Killoy, president and chief executive officer of Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc., in Connecticut, “How many more American children need to die before your company will stop selling assault weapons?”
“I believe that these murders are local problems that have to be solved locally,” Daniel said.
I’ve got to comment. Even if its an ‘insurance scam’. Even if they are trying to hit your car for truly stupid reasons. ( “Ba-Ba-Bouey! Yuk Yuk” ) At no time may anyone ‘with a gun’ ever be justified in shooting back at another car (at least in my state). The cops will get triggered, they will find you, catch you, hurt you and jail you. There is no self defense to shoot at another car.
You will be jailed, bankrupted, fired, and should you live through jail, you’ll be lucky to be able to work at McDonalds (but they won’t let you handle money).
A gun is just a metal noose; it’s why they smirk when they sell it to you. You can’t ever use it, even in self defense, even in your home in the middle of the night with a Home Invasion going on. They WILL charge you. There are literally dozens of charges to choose from. You Will be convicted. You Will go to jail. You Will lose your entire life. And that POS who sold you that gun/noose? He’ll still be smirking. He knew that if he sold you enough rope, you’d hang yourself.
…And you Did!
Not according to the Supreme Court which has made upending local laws on guns - target practice.
Excuse me, where is this?
You do realize that in this country, you can shoot a 9 year old girl because someone else stole $20 from you, and go scott free, right?
I imagine that if someone was actually trying to assault you with their car, or were actually shooting you from their car, there’d be no question if you shot at them.
Although in this case, there is no insurance scam or anything, the guy got mad and shot at them because some when the first car cleaned its windshield, of the windshield wiper fluid got on the other guy’s car. Self defense shouldn’t even enter into it.
So far, that’s not a legal reason to shoot at someone, but I wouldn’t be surprised if when it gets to SCOTUS and Alito comes up with some reasoning to put the shooter on the right side of the law.
More like putting the law on the wrong side of the shooter.
NJ.
Don’t use guns here other than plinking paper or hunting Bambi. Ever. The DA Will charge you; you Will be convicted. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
She is just wonderful. I hope I someday get to vote for her.
So apparently there is something called a JR-15 that’s an AR-15 designed for kids. Marge Greene says that there wouldn’t have been any kids killed in Uvalde if they’d all been armed with JR-15s.
Seen before in this same thread
Sounds like the perfect thing to bring to school for show-and-tell.
My kids had riflery instruction at summer camp and I was OK with that. They were shooting cans with .22 rifles. The JR-15 is a .22 rifle. My problem with that is not kids shooting guns per se but kids being groomed with a lust for assault-style weapons.
And of course sending kids to school with guns to defend against an active shooter is just insane.
Yeah, obviously a .22 isn’t going to be up to that task.
Don’t forget the teacher.
With that much firepower, maybe we should defund do away with the police altogether.
I shot a bb gun at a camp I went to as a kid, and although I ended up being the best shot (I paid attention to the instructor and squeezed the trigger), it didn’t make me want an actual gun of my own. Granted, there was nobody I knew IRL who had a gun then. It wasn’t something anybody talked about where I grew up.
I shot a rifle twice in Air Force basic training, one day with no ammo and the next day with ammo. It was the first time I had ever handled a firearm (except for a BB gun when I was a kid), and I surprisingly shot a 97%. It never made me want to own a gun. And then I went out with a friend skeet shooting one time, and did pretty well there, too, but it didn’t raise a blood lust in me.
… and maybe Home-Ec ( if they’re making Gazpacho that day).
