An unarmed young woman was shot dead by police in the Capitol today

[TheDoctorIsIn]

No, it didn’t. You misread the law.

It’s entirely moot, though - because we’re not talking about Texas.

Well what I see is that she was wearing a back-pack and I can’t see a bullet strike on the back. I agree that the armed guys in the back does not look good. But where the camera was in proximity to them wouldn’t you think that the camera would have picked up a muzzle flash if she was shot in the back?
The one video I can’t find is the footage from the side that I was describing. From that angle she is going forward until you hear the shot and she falls backwards. It is difficult to tell if the force of the bullet hitting her made her go backwards or not.

there is another video, grainer, where it shows a person wielding a handgun on the other side of the barricaded door that she was climbing through. fyi. the viewpoint is from the left side of the staircase closer to wall

Fair.

My son just had an AirSoft AK shipped to the house today, so the orange tip stands out, mostly because, even next to the real AK, and from any sort of distance, without the orange tip, it looks like a weapon.

The AK is a Serbian monster, and heavy. The airsoft didn’t even spook the chickens, and is battery powered, so nothing doing. I flipped it to auto, and felt nothing. But, it looks real enough.

Yes they do look real. Very real. That’s part of the attraction I guess. The orange tip was added later and in my opinion not nearly enough.

Please be careful where you take that thing, the police will shoot you over it, even with the tip. They probably won’t see it.

We had a different one. It used our regular weapons. The barrel and the mag were different. The upper on the M4 was different, but it used our lowers.

No way I would carry them in public and they definitely weren’t toys.

No I didn’t.

(A) a firearm or anything manifestly designed, made, or adapted for the purpose of inflicting death or serious bodily injury; or

(B) anything that in the manner of its use or intended use is capable of causing death or serious bodily injury.

Makes total sense because others won’t dare follow.

No.

Yeah, I think that might be the first video I saw. Have you been able to find a link to it?

[TheDoctorIsIn]

Yeah, you did. Because you’re having a hard time wrapping your head around what this means:

Not in the footage I’ve seen but it’s chaotic as hell.

I saw the footage that was shot by a guy right behind the two guys who were punching out the glass. Then he pans over to show her climbing through the opening. It was on TV earlier but the only footage I can find online is the one taken from about six rows of people back and then cuts to her on the floor after she was shot. But to me it sure looked like she had at least half her body inside the chamber when you hear the shot on the audio.

I saw that same footage. Its in the other thread and yes her torso was attempting to climb through the smashed out glass portion of the door

First thing I said to him was ‘Too real. Too ■■■■■■■ real.’ I mean, I could tell how he was holding it it wasn’t heavy. I’ve held 25s that were heavier. And the butt folded in. But, looks real. I would expect to get a cluster in the chest if I pointed it at anyone inclined/empowered to shoot.

They will and it will be justified. They can be fun for playing in the backyard or some kind of designated gamer area I guess. But is he’s where the public can see him, it could be trouble and it only takes a second.

[WuWei]

Mind if I ask how old he is?

[tzu]

NH. I shop next to ladies with pistols on their hips.

Honestly, I don’t know why he bought it. Has bunches of the real thing, Rifle and Gun membership…and it’s NH. Was at the flea market with a friend last year, and he bought an RPG cash, no paperwork.

Why get a pellet gun? To chip a tooth?

[tzu]

Not yet 21, but not a minor.

RPG?

He needs to be careful, they’ll shoot him before they will a lady with a gun in a holster on her hip.

Very careful.

How does a torso attempt to do anything?

[tzu]

He’s good. Had a spreadsheet and an action plan, to persuade his mother.

Took her to the range, worked though shotgun (bird, buck, home, slug), the AK and some others.

Only compromise he asked for, since the rule is ‘never chambered in the house’, is: can I keep the mags full? Seemed fair enough.

He went shooting with a co-worker who showed up with a Desert Eagle, but clearly no upper body fitness. Only time I’ve had that twinge of worry. Seems like a resolutely stupid weapon.
