Suspects Arrested for Theft of Catalytic Converter, Found in Possession of Illegal Weapons

I, too, hope that in the future babycakes does not continue to type, write, or misinform on Edhat without first being fully read-up on any subject. We too know that most of the garbage that is posted in the comments section keeps readers coming back for more.

Perhaps, Buckwheat, but that's not what ParvoPup meant.

"This country was founded by the lees and castoffs of another civilization.

We were considered barbarians." -- I don't know what country you have in mind, but this does not apply to the U.S.

That's being investigated: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/25/movies/alec-baldwin-shooting-ammunition-found.html

It's been like this ever since Noozhawk and the Indy shut down their comments sections and the sociopathic RW troglodytes who hung out there came here.

I guess you have trouble with discerning relevance.

"I was misinformed" - the story of your online edhat comment life I suppose lol. I would argue it was sheer stupidity and negligence on the part of the propmaster/armorer on set, not Mr. Baldwin. He was told it was a "cold gun" meaning no live rounds were in the chamber. That was apparently false, through no fault of his own. Try reading up on the incident before you type ; )

"Mega hero to the progressive left." -- RWers just make stuff up as they go. You have no idea who "the progressive left" is or what their take on Alec Baldwin or much else is. Some people like him because of his SNL Trump impersonation ... that's about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressivism "Progressivism is a political philosophy in support of social reform.[1] Based on the idea of progress in which advancements in science, technology, economic development and social organization are vital to the improvement of the human condition, progressivism became highly significant during the Age of Enlightenment in Europe, out of the belief that Europe was demonstrating that societies could progress in civility from uncivilized conditions to civilization through strengthening the basis of empirical knowledge as the foundation of society.[2] Figures of the Enlightenment believed that progress had universal application to all societies and that these ideas would spread across the world from Europe.[2]

The contemporary common political conception of progressivism emerged from the vast social changes brought about by industrialization in the Western world in the late 19th century. Progressives take the view that progress is being stifled by vast economic inequality between the rich and the poor; minimally regulated laissez-faire capitalism with monopolistic corporations; and the intense and often violent conflict between those perceived to be privileged and unprivileged, arguing that measures were needed to address these problems.[3]" -- antonyms: sociopath, troglodyte, autocrat, bigot, right winger.

You bear some responsibility for having no idea what happens on a movie set and what happened on this on in particular.

Baldwin absolutely bears some responsibility. He shouldn't be handling a firearm if he doesn't know how to use it safely. ALWAYS check to see if it's loaded, make sure the safety is on, and never point it at something you don't intend to shoot. Two other accidental discharges on set? WTF?

"I heard that Mr. Baldwin pointed the gun directly at the two victims. Apparently, this was not the case." -- So what if he had? It was a prop, and the prop master is responsible for its condition. Actors point prop guns at other actors all the time. "I was misinformed" -- this appears to be the case for *every* subject.

"What an idiot!" -- Looking in the mirror while typing can be hazardous.

Ugh—do you even know what happened on that set? A chain of people responsible for safety were negligent and now a lovely person, mother, wife, cinematographer is dead and Another human being has to live with that in his head for the rest of his life. You know Trump’s sociopathic son is making money selling t-shirts joking about this woman’s death? Disgusting.

SacJon: My appologies...I was misinformed. I heard that Mr. Baldwin pointed the gun directly at the two victims. Apparently, this was not the case.

Ah yes, only a matter of time before someone blames Baldwin for unintentionally firing a projectile. But if you ask, think about it..... had we not the 2nd Amendment, would we have had the proliferation of guns in the Old West? Maybe, maybe not, but worth considering. And no, Alec Baldwin's tragic situation (remember a young, innocent woman was killed before you join Trump Jr. and that monster Marjorie in joking about her tragic death) has nothing to do with the 2A, but I never said it did. My comment was in response to 3:50's claim that criminals with guns has nothing to do with the 2A, not that EVERY act of gun violence, intentional or not, has to do with it.

9:30AM: Sure it's simple ... that's why simpletons repeat it. We understand and we understand how stupid and dishonest it is.

The fact you can't seem to understand something so simple is a real tell about your ability to comprehend anything not in your narrow lane.

5:24 - Regurgitating simple-minded right-wing propaganda makes one fat headed, or maybe cause and effect are the other way around. The result is the same.

"spoons make you fat. Its really the spoon part you don't like isn't it." -- Anyone with an IQ above 25 realizes that it's the food in the spoon that makes you fat.

Cigarettes don't kill people, tobacco companies kill people. Oh, wait, maybe both do. Fires don't kill people, arsonists kill people. Oh wait. Hurricanes don't kill people, God kills people. Oh wait. Maybe the "guns don't kill people" is one of the dumbest and most dishonest arguments ever hatched. Shooters kill people, guns kill people, bullets kill people, having arteries ripped open kills people ... these are not mutually exclusive. The fact is that the glut of guns makes it easy and common for people to kill people with guns.

"How does that have anything to do with the 2nd amendment?" -- Anyone with an IQ above room temperature can figure that out.

Remember, if guns kill people,pencils misspell words and spoons make you fat.
Its really the spoon part you don't like isn't it.

3:50 - because, without the 2nd Amendment, these guns likely wouldn't have been on the street for them to obtain. How many illegal gun arrests are made in Australia? England? Pick any other civilized country? Without the 2nd Amendment being misread for decades, there would not be so many guns flooding our market to be easily accessed by criminals. This has EVERYTHING to do with the 2nd Amendment.

Correction: just another pair of criminals who don't care about our current firearm laws (they broke several firearms just having them in their possession) and won't care about future firearm laws. How does that have anything to do with the 2nd amendment?
