I, I, I,......WTAF? What's next? It wasn't 'actually' arec barwin's hand holding the alleged weapon? They were using a stunt hand? FFS! Guess the d.a. may have a roll in an upcoming movie? Anyone of us, we'd still be in the hoosegow!

“It was Trump!”

Looks like the fix is in for the elites to protect their own.

[rktman]

I, for one, am shocked at that. /$

Utterly impossible to fire a Single Action Army without pulling the trigger, or holding it back while you thumb-cock the hammer.

(Doc voice from Back to the Future) - “Great Scott, a gun that fires itself!”

This just means that the lawyers have securely transferred the funds along with a plausible cover story that has been well rehearsed.

[flamberge]

Absolute BS from the District Attorney.

They are just saying that "the fix is in".

Needs to be removed from office ASAP. "By any means necessary" as ANTIFA would say.

[Salvavida]

So there is EVIDENCE of a mechanical issue?

[SuperLuminal]

Hmmm...
Maybe it’s my tinfoil hat, but I definitely smell a rat...
The victim’s family had better hire a conflict-resolution-with-prejudice expert...

[fwdude]

So, it was the mean, scary, vicious gun’s fault? I guess if a rogue SUV can run down people in a Christmas parade a gun can go on a rampage.

If it’s functioning properly.

My Dad had an old Colt single action that had the sear messed with so it had a hair trigger. It was an antique so we never shot it.

I doubt that this prop gun would have been in the inventory with a touchy sear. Baldwin pulled the trigger when it was pointed in a dangerous direction.

[LukeL]

Let’s assume this is true. Baldwin is still negligent for pointing a gun towards a person. His actions would get him thrown out of any public gun club in the world.

[gundog]

If the D.A. has evidence that the pistol used during the incident is not in proper working order, she has not released that information. But it seems likely that the only way Baldwin could have had the gun go off without having pulled the trigger is if the mechanics of the pistol were faulty or broken.

[ridesthemiles]

IF Baldwin “Fanned” the hammer in any way, he could have still caused the gun to fire.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Bingo.

Everyone has a price. Someone might have decided they are ready to retire quite a few years earlier than planned and with a much bigger savings account than if they worked for another ten years.

[sevlex]

There it is, the fix is in.

[Old Yeller]

He didn’t pull, he squeezed the trigger.

A single action army that is truely an automatic pistol.
