There’s always a possibilty for the mechanism to trigger if you accidentally bump the gun

Ah, a Sig owner, I see.

Finally, a fellow Glock hater!

Two things that should be completely unacceptable in a modern firearm:

• Having no safety mechanism whatsoever. (Trigger dingus doesn’t count.)

• Requiring a trigger pull (or even putting your finger inside the trigger guard) for any other reason than intending to fire a shot.

And there are so many excellent modern pistols out there that don’t break these two rules. Pistols that do everything a Glock can do, but without these glaring safety issues. So why is the Glock still the ‘default’ choice? It’s especially egregious to see it as a recommendation to novice shooters. Dealing with these safety issues should require an expert. Putting a gun with these issues into the hands of a new shooter is just asking for trouble.

It could also be a case of a prosecutor who agrees with the shooter. (A right-wing extremist prosecutor, who has ever heard of such a thing?)

In that case, the prosecutor might feel pressured to bring the case before a grand jury, just to make it look like he’s doing his job. But he could deliberately throw the case, neglect to mention important evidence, etc, etc, and fail to get an indictment. That way, he gets to shut down the prosecution without making it look like it was his choice. Since grand jury proceedings are sealed, nobody would be able to know he deliberately sandbagged and failed on purpose. Then he gets to make a public statement about how he tried, but the grand jury said no, so his hands are tied.

So it could be a way for a malicious prosecutor to kill/bury the case without looking like he’s deliberately letting a murderer go free.

They don’t do anything involving school shootings.

Not true. They’ll stand around and blockade the entrance to prevent parents from going in to rescue their children.

Luigi should try this defense.
