Thanks, good to learn something.
Always wondered if 'blanks' were completely safe..
Blanks have never been safe. Just like live rounds, they have a effective range.
If hit by one within their range, you'll know about it.

Then again, it's not good to go pointing any sort gun in any way anyhow!


Stay safe folks!

NO weapon with a firing pin is safe. No matter how safe the hands handling it.

He was a Beautiful Man. Big Time Up and Comer.

He Affected Me as Does Bruce Lee; Clint Eastwood; Sean Connery; others.

What Possesses Intelligent Full of LIfe person to 'Play with a Gun'.

Do people Think an Unharmful 'Puff' of Air Comes out of a Gun with Blanks?

Jesus GOD. A Second of TOTAL STUPIDITY and Life is GONE.

I would think there is NEVER a 'Hair' Trigger with a Prop Gun.

Anyone Know?

I would Think and Hope from Day One of Inception of a 'Prop' Gun, the Trigger Pull Pressure would be Very 'Heavy'.

Likely Not 'cause of Actor Bitching and too much Gun 'Movement'.

Yah

May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON. GOoD JUDGEMENT and LOVE and ORDER!!!!!

There's still the question of:

Why was there a LIVE bullet round even on the set?...


Very suspiciously curious...

Is someone copying an old cliched 'who-done-it police detective' story?...


Stay safe folks!

Someone was alleged to have been shooting empty cans at the lunch break. Suppose someone brought it just to do that?

Texas' "Abortion-Law" case could lead to other constitutional rights being threatened.

Kavanaugh, Barrett Signal Skepticism in Texas Abortion-Law Case.

“We can assume that this will be across the board, equally applicable as the Firearms Policy Coalition says, to all constitutional rights?” Kavanaugh said, later asking Texas’ lawyer to imagine a law that let anyone sue a person for using an AR-15 rifle and hold them liable for $1 million.

More guns needed in Florida?

4 injured in an overnight shooting in downtown Orlando during an unusually violent weekend.

"We had a higher than usual number of shootings. And you ask the question, why? Really, that's something we are trying to figure out ourselves," said Orlando police Chief Orlando Rolón.
Far too many brainless morons with guns?

The consequences of the strange games of Marketing at play that swamped the USA with extra guns just before covid?...

US gun violence increased 30 percent during COVID-19 pandemic
wrote:
... The researchers said that stress, domestic violence, lack of social interactions and greater access to firearms might have contributed to the increase...

... According to the researchers, added stress and worry, along with fear and uncertainty may have fueled an increase in gun sales. Based on data from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, there was a 41% increase in handguns sold in March 2020...

... "The spike in gun violence in the era of COVID-19 comes as a stark reminder that we can't afford to ignore it any longer. Now is the time to focus on this public health crisis." "Our data reinforces the need to promote multiple interventions—vaccinations, testing, contact tracing, masking and ventilation—to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic, and in doing so, hopefully we can mitigate the downstream effects,"...


Err... Is not the culture of guns likewise a public health problem that needs to be similarly attacked/'mitigated'?...


Only in the USA?!

Stay safe folks!
