Tweets at link. Heres why shampoo bottles come with directions. This is one of their arguments for sensible gun laws. Because one person craps in their pants the rest of us must wear diapers. Collectivism at it's "best".

That’s about as smart as the Los Angeles N-word.

I recall not long ago watching an old rerun of St Elsewhere, where Wayne Fiscus (Howie Mandel) pulls out the gun he carried concealed (illegally for protection in Boston) to show to a female colleague. He simply handed the gun to her, loaded and with the action (or revolver component) closed and that certainly struck me as a dangerous thing to do. These liberal types really do demonstrate their ignorance with actions like these and the one featured in the article.

This is demonstrably stupid and dangerous person. The kind of dip(t) the Dims make Red Flag laws over. He should maybe be in jail for attempted manslaughter. Geeze!

If I had been the camera guy I would have dropped the camera and beat the crap out of that reporter.

"loaded and with the action (or revolver component)"

I believe you are referring to the cylinder.

Yup-It’s official. All ‘journalists’ are morons!

I think it’s time for all ‘journalism’ graduates to ask for their money back.

Most libs depend too much on technology and not enough on common sense.

The camera guy should have picked up the gun and done the same to the reporter and filmed it.

I think it is true, actually, that journalists are the stupidest people on Earth.

This is just another piece of evidence in favor of that claim.

Dumb thing to do, but I doubt this was a “smart gun” (it looks like a tommy gun, I don’t think they are retrofitting ancient guns like this with “smart” technology). I also highly doubt the weapon was loaded. They are in a gun shop, not at a range. There would be no reason for it to be loaded. It sounds like the hammer on the weapon does fall as well. So, yes, it was a violation of basic rules of gun safety, but it was not a case of “pointing a loaded weapon and pulling the trigger”.

This reporter should face criminal charges. It is menacing at the least and maybe criminal negligence with a firearm depending on the jurisdiction.

They called it a Thompson, so my guess is autospell changed “drum”.
