Re: Reid calls Bundy supporters ‘domestic terrorists’
That shouldn't be too hard to prove since there are plenty of witnesses and photos of the sniper looking through his gun sights through that little crack in the concrete wall right down on the base camp of the police officers. It's going to be very hard for him to prove that he wasn't aiming his gun at anything or anyone else but those police officers. He wasn't there to smell the roses.
Lemme' play, please? I wanna play semantics!
Okay, we're on the battlefield, you and I and some others are on the same team, on the same field, and you and some others are in front of me.
A. I should raise my firearm, and prepare to shoot, knowing that I might stumble with my trigger finger on the trigger, and it might go off wounding or killing you or one of our team members.
B. I should keep my weapon pointed to the ground, or up in the air to help prevent such a horrible accident from happening.
C. I shouldn't be there in the first place, with my firearm, or family members downrange because I might not be the crack shot I thought I was.
Pick as many answers as you wish, it's all semantics.
So, while being stationed in Alaska, I worked at the rec. center's boat/sports shop, cleaning boats, fixing fishing poles, you know, just a maintenance guy.
This hunting party shows up on Friday and rents a flat bottom river boat with two engines.
It's Sunday now, and I hear guys in the dorm talking about some dude that was out hunting had been shot in the back of his head by at least two of his hunting buddies.
Monday after my shift, I went to the boat shop to do my moonlighting. Yep, there was the boat, blood everywhere.
What happened was three guys in the back of the boat stood up to shoot a moose, and the guy in the front of the boat stood up first to tell them there was a moose on the river bank. The dude was shot with several different rifles, one, a 30-06.
Now can we see the semantics of others trying to play the semantics game? I can. But, you and me know, that in real life situations, you don't raise a firearm towards a crowd of people, loaded or not, because that shows intent, which is used quite often in the courts system.
