Inanimate Objects

lib'rul posts are inanimate objects.....

That lump of pertrified shit between your ears is an inanimate object too.

you aren't between my ears.....

Inanimate objects? Isn't that a description of a Progressive Leftist?

[Nomad]

Of course I'm not.

That lump of petrified shit in there takes up all the room.

[Frank Apisa]

You OD'd on it.

Never touch the stuff.

Get over it. At some point you will realize what you have given up for this disgusting path you are on...and you will feel what Alec Guiness's character, Col. Nicholson, feels at the end of The Bridge on the River Kwai.

Of course I'm not.

this is a high risk season for Nomad........Santa's elves are not just making gifts......he has whole squads of them out looking for lumps of coal.......

Nope it's clearly a description of you

Such people are animate like you and I are, but unlike you and I, they have lost the ability to think/reason for themselves. They, in such a state, can only parrot whatever has been programmed into them by "trusted sources" (of which I call the Ministry of Societal Manipulation, which is more commonly referred to as mainstream news media).

The way Baldwin explained it, the woman who got shot was operating the camera and setting up the camera shot. SHE told him to pull the hammer back a little bit.

MY GUESS.... is that when he was easing the hammer back down, it may have slipped off his thumb just enough to fire the bullet.

But there still was not supposed to be a live round in the gun and that was obvioulsy not Baldwin's doing.

As much as the right wishes they could pin it on him because he made Trump look like a joke so many times on SNL.

Bullshit. She said no such thing.

Pulling the hammer back starts the cylinder rotation making it impossible to fire if the hammer is released, even original SA's will lock the hammer out and they will NOT fire because the cylinder is not aligned with the barrel.

Again, Baldwin did not follow the first rule of gun safety when he picked up or was handed the gun. Treat it as if it's loaded!


TRUMP! doesn't have a damn thing to do with Baldwin's incompetence. He can lie all he wants, he pulled the hammer back all the way and pulled the trigger.

DUMPSTER TRASH DONNIE! doesn't have a damn thing to do with Baldwin's incompetence. He can lie all he wants, he pulled the hammer back all the way and pulled the trigger.

Too bad you don't know as much about guns as you try to imply you do even with all your obnoxious, gasbag bloviating.

From his interview with George Stephanopoulos:

Baldwin told ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos that the incident happened during a marking rehearsal, during which cinematographer Halyna Hutchins directed Baldwin to hold the gun at a certain angle for the film.

“She's guiding me through how she wants me to hold the gun for this angle, and I draw the gun out and I find a mark. I draw the gun out — if I don't, cut. And what's really urgent is the gun wasn't meant to be fired in that angle,” Baldwin said.


“I'm shooting just off … in her direction. I'm holding the gun where she told me to hold it, which ended up being aimed right below her armpit was what I was told, I don’t know. This was a completely incidental shot, an angle that may not have ended up in the film at all,” he continued.

Baldwin explained that as he cocked the firearm he was using — putting the hammer of the weapon under spring tension in preparation for firing — he let go of the hammer, and the gun discharged.

“So then I said to her ‘Now in this scene, I'm going to cock the gun.’ I said, ‘Do you want to see that?’ And she said, ‘Yes.’ So I take the gun, and I start to cock the gun. I'm not going to pull the trigger,” Baldwin told Stephanopoulos. “I said, ‘Do you see the shot? ‘Well just cheat it down and tilt it down a little bit like that.’ And I cock the gun and I go ‘Can you see that? Can you see that? Can you see that?’ And she says — and I let go of the hammer of the gun and the gun goes off.”

Of course your assumptions are BS and your lack of gun knowledge notwithstanding, if the gun was a revovler and it was fully loaded with a bullet in every chamber, and he only pulled the hammer back partially then let it go, the firing pin on the hammer could have struck the primer on the bullet hard enough to discharge it.

Again, it's obvious that your implied expertise on guns is not what you want people to think it is.

As with everything else you open up your nasty, ignorant redneck mouth about.

It is rare but a gun can go off without pulling the trigger.

Anyone with a functioning brain knows that SUV cannot kill people on it's own unless the driver forgets to put it in parking, something faulty in the mechanism or it's one of those self driving SUVs that goes berserk.

Only if the safety mechanism is off. Safety-less guns such as Glocks use a striker action. They cannot go off even if dropped from a considerable height.

One cop was just sitting there when he saw a car (not an SUV) that had no driver, rolling uphill, backwards, on fire.
They still talk about that one down at the station!

Turned out the car was parked at the bottom of the hill, developed some kind of electrical trouble (that started the fire and started the engine). The car, left in reverse (manual transmissions have no 'park' gear), and it started rolling uphill on it's own. It didn't kill anybody, but started a small fire in the ditch where it finally left the road.

During CES of 2018, a self driving car ran over an autonomous robot. The robot was totally destroyed and the car suffered minor damage.

No one was hurt, and since there was no driver for either machine, it basically turned into a shouting match between one group of programmers and another group of programmers on who's fault it was. Nothing like trade shows displaying the latest technology!

[Into the Night]

This was a horrible accident! Stupid and preventable!

But was not Baldwin's fault!

GET OVER IT ALREADY !

AND PLEASE STOP WITH ALL THE DRAMA QUEENING AND ATTENTION WHORING! PLEASE!

JUST BECAUSE YOU DID NOT LIKE THE WAY BALDWIN MADE YOUR PRESIDENT OUT TO LOOK LIKE THE WORLD'S LARGEST IDIOT!

It is the fault of Baldwin and the fault of the armorer. You are supposed to always check the gun.

That must have been quite a sight to see!

Okay, so who cocked the gun?

Some guns are naturally 'cocked', such as striker action guns. Glocks use this design. They cannot fire even if dropped from a considerable height. There is no hammer in a Glock.

Others, such as the AR-15, use a hammer that cocks when you rack the weapon. Firing the round recocks the hammer automatically.

The only reason someone racks a Glock is to load the chamber with a round or to clear the chamber of a round. Even with a round in the chamber, a Glock will not accidentally fire if dropped. You have to pull the trigger.
