Perhaps the Stupidest TV Report on Guns In the History of the World, Ever
I’m sure there’ve been more inane reports on firearms on TV news. I just can’t remember seeing one.
This could almost be a modern art piece on the lack of content in modern reporting. “Fluxx piece” doesn’t even begin to cover it
Oy! So many things going on (wrongly) there.
OH MY GOD, A 25 CAL? HOW THE HELL IS THAT LEGAL? THAT COULD PRETTY MUCH BLOW A TANK APART.
Yeah, I mean 25 is bigger than 9, right?
Lets not forget it can blow up railroads as well!
Where’s the shoulder thing that goes up?! It allows for deadly and swiss-watch accurate firing from the hip!!
Why is there no thumbs-up button for these comments?!
Almost 3 times larger, by my reckoning.
What’s the problem with shooting someone that is lunging at you?
In and of itself, nothing. He was also stabbed 29 times and his throat was slit. Possibly a tad excessive…
and premeditated. He just got out of the shower, was nekid and had just dumped her for another gal.
I find it difficult to believe that anyone could fail to understand that pressing the trigger of a loaded firearm causes it to fire given that it is precisely what they’re explicitly designed to do.
while i always like members of the media shown actually testing guns, her trigger control control needs help. Yes, i know she said its unloaded. Still, don’t wave it around like that with you finger there.
Well, she did at least keep it pointed in a safe-ish direction throughout.
No excuse. It’s exactly that error that combines with, say, improperly clearing the weapon that results in a negligent discharge.
People seem to forget the ALWAYS TREAT IT LIKE ITS LOADED STUPID. I added the stupid part fyi.
At one point she had both fingers on the trigger. Two negatives make a posative, right?
“Two negatives make a positive, right?”
Only if you’re leaning backward at the moment of discharge.
It was almost as if she kept saying it was unloaded to justify her finger on the trigger. Could it really happen that way she asks? Sure, if she handled it like the reporter.
Was this particular report lacking any meaningful information? I guess so. But I’m not sure how that differs from 99% of the stuff on the news.
Ever watch the reporting of an airplane crash? Same lack of meaningful information and lots of misinformation.
I only watch TV news to see what’s happening on American Idol.
Definitely Pulitzer prize material.
Yeah, she blew the lid off of that story.
I liked the instructor.
We shouldn’t be too hard on the reporter. It can’t be easy trying to be a serious journalist all the while knowing that you had to raid your mother’s pantsuit stash from the 70’s in order to get dressed that morning.
Was there a point to that story? If so, the guy from the range pretty much debunked it.
So, why air it at all?
Because it gets or keeps ratings up. That is all that news media cares about.
Love her overwrought, jacked up interview style. Give us a break sister. Kept waiting for that “unloaded” gun to go off while she was waving it around with her finger on the trigger. iDIoT
That hallmark style is ALL Jane Sanchez, ALL the time. Even off air, I suspect. Nancy Grace Junior.
I loved where they showed her firing it. Leaning back as far as possible and visibly displeased when the gun fired, with a look on her face that said, “eww, guns! Icky!”
On another note: Autoplay is bullshit.
Word. Auto play videos do NOT belong on the main page.
Mine didn’t auto play? O.O
This news story was especially helpful in illustrating that the sole qualification to be a TV news reporter is complete, utter, airheaded stupidity.
That range looks like a dump.
Sadly representative of several ranges I’ve seen when visiting family on the east coast. Makes me appreciate well lit, properly ventilated ranges all the more when I’m back home.
I might go to that range…but only to take a dump while on my way to a REAL range!
More evidence for my hypothesis that only criminals have .25’s
Was she trying to be the female Geraldo or was it purely accidental?
I like how his eyes take a long, wary look at her finger on the trigger as he’s telling her that how you can pull the trigger without knowing if you’re startled.
That was a big, fat hint, but she missed it completely.
Must be all those hair spray fumes.
I know two different guys shot by their wives with a .25, one 3 times in the face, I don’t think he even had to stay over night in the hospital.
Just because someone works at a gun range doesnt make them an expert….
Has any firearm ever just gone off sitting in a safe or drawer? Funny how they only fire themselves when someone is holding it.
Hey Jane, 1984 called and they want their hairstyle back.
