Anyone here into firearms?

Also on my 7mm Rem mag. I'm installing a Micro Bastard Muzzle Brake. I have a Fat Bastard on my 338 LM. The recoil on it is like my 243.

Considering that the gun was 4 days old makes me wonder if the father was a new gun owner. I’m guessing if the kid had access to a gun before then he might have done the shooting sooner. If the father was new to guns then he might have not had proper storage and/or he didn’t realize how troubled his son was. Either way that father must be devastated.

Both parents have been charged with involuntary manslaughter for giving the boy access to the gun.

They bought him the pistol for Christmas.

Not sure what I think about this but the parents did do "Stupid".

So many things went wrong and like many school shootings red flags were ignored. Makes me wonder if the parents really knew their son.

I’m not sure how I feel about the parents getting charged but they are not innocent in all this.

Just found out that at least the Mom was aware of the shooter’s problems. She texted the shooter “Don’t do it” when the news of the shooting started to break.

If they knew he had issues then they should be charged.

Edit: Also the dad went immediately home, looking for the pistol before they even know it was their son.

They knew he had issues. I bet they bought the gun as a pacifier. Wrong type of pacifier. Should have stuck a baby pacifier in his mouth or his mother's tit, and not put a gun in his hand.

Now you have Alec Baldwin saying that he didn't pull the trigger on the gun that killed that director. He said that he pulled the hammer back and when he let it go, it snapped back and fired. He had to have his finger on the trigger for that to happen.

He didn't do himself any good with that interview. If he knew any better. Why was he pointing the gun at her at all?

what gets me. He said that production should hire a cop to check the guns. He IS production. He's the ex producer. And I know cops that know very little about guns.

Yep, he's digging himself a hole. Said he didn't feel any guilt either because it wasnt his responsibility. What an azzhole

He had the final responsible of that gun. He was the last to handle it. He should have checked it himself.

Now with a period correct Colt SAA revolver that has the firing pin on the hammer instead of a frame firing pin with transfer bar, it is possible to set off a round by letting go on a partially pulled back hammer. Highly unlikely though. There is a reason for the phrase “Going off half cocked”. From the half cocked there usually isn’t enough force to set off the round. If the sear did fail, on a period correct SAA, the round would go off. Do I believe AB? **** no.

Yep! Regardless if he pulled the trigger or pulled the hammer back on a faulty revolver he pointed a gun at some one. He is responsible. The fact he is trying to blame other people and equipment is really slimy.

I bought a Tipton gun vise last month. Make it easier to work on my rifles. Cabela's had it on the shelf.

Which one would you take, VP9L or VP9T with a PMM Comp?
