The powerful NRA use the Second Amendment (hold the right to bear arms) as a politcal weapon as powerful as a nuclear bomb. Nothing will change before any of us are dead.
Agreed. That amendment was made when it took 30secs to load a gun....not 30rounds in a second.

Anyone think the reports coming out about the court case are sounding a bit suspect? The lead detective has old charges against him dug up? Etc.

That depends if you use it to blindly club someone to death through a locked door.

Pistorius is far from free. The judge now turns to whether there is enough evidence to convict him of murder or culpable homicide #Pistorius

I don't know what else you could expect to happen if you fire through a hollow door. The reasonable south african must be far less reasonable and logical than someone not from south africa.

Half a dozen shots through a closed toilet door with no warning while someone was screaming, I wonder what the actual intent was ?

If the Judge's closing statement last night is anything to go by he will probably go down for manslaughter. Cold comfort for the family when you consider how much seemingly compelling evidence the judge decided to ignore in coming to the the not guilty verdicts on Murder.

I am actually more interested in the Tostee case on the Gold Coast although I suspect that will also finish with a manslaughter conviction and a few years on protection with the likes of Brett Peter Cowan.
