and all a safety does on a gun is keep the trigger from being pulled. guns can and have gone off with a safety on...that's why they teach muzzle control, as that's the only real way to keep from shooting something you don't want to shoot.

The safety on my 9mm and .45 does not prevent the trigger from being pulled but rather disengages the hammer action. Neither will or can fire with safety on though you can pull the trigger on both.

If I'd have had a son 50 years ago, he'd have looked just like this victim.

Will any "activists" be tweeting the addresses of Bender and Israel's parents?

Carjacked and nearly (possibly) killed a guy to drive his car a half mile. This is a hate crime, too bad the gentleman driving the SUV was unarmed.

This entire thing has played out like a South Park episode and really speaks to why I hate politics.

The left sucks and the right sucks.

i'll have to take a look, but i'm pretty sure my .45/.410 taurus judge has a safety that prevents trigger pull.
