    Default Inanimate Objects

    It seems to be the popular thing these days to blame inanimate objects for crimes that occur rather than the people who are committing them.


    Alec Baldwin claims that he did not pull the trigger. The immediate follow up question to him should be: "Then who did?"

    The lying manipulative news media has also ran many headlines claiming that "an SUV" "crashed" into a "holiday parade" rather than being honest about a black supremacist with a mile long rap sheet getting out on $1,000 bail so he can target a (generally speaking) very pasty white community and intentionally run over as many children as possible in his hate crime fueled massacre.


    No, the gun did not "pull the trigger" -- Alec Baldwin did.

    No, the SUV did not commit a massacre that targeted children in a (generally speaking) pasty white community -- Darrell Brooks Jr (a black supremacist hate-crime-committing mass murderer) did.

    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.

    If something was wrong with the gun, it should be investigated. It seems unlikely.

    In any event, Baldwin is the issue (not the gun), whether it be his negligence or otherwise.

    Okay, so who cocked the gun?

    However, a single-action revolver with the old-style firing mechanism can fire without either the hammer being cocked or the trigger being pulled. When the hammer is down on that kind of revolver, the firing pin protrudes and, if a live round is loaded in the chamber underneath, a sharp enough jolt can cause the pin to strike the round’s primer with enough force to set it off.

    This is why the “cowboy load” was developed. When carrying an old-style single-action revolver, it’s best practice to leave the chamber underneath the hammer unloaded. That way, a jolt can’t unintentionally set off a round.

    None of that means Baldwin’s story is entirely accurate. It’s not clear if drawing a gun from a holster in this state would be enough to set it off. It still seems more plausible Baldwin pulled the trigger. But, the gun firing without the trigger being pulled is not as far-fetched as it sounds at first.

    Baldwin was good at making Trump look like the world's largest idiot, but Trump was MUCH, MUCH better at making Trump look like the world's largest idiot.

    Credit where credit is due.
    ON HIS WORST DAY, JOE BIDEN IS A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN TRUMP WAS ON HIS BEST DAY!

    It was absolutely 100% Baldwin's fault. How was it not?
