You CAN be shot by an unloaded gun. All you need to do is put bullets in it.

Moronic soundbite # 019823465, brought to you by an agenda-driven politician near you. Oh, and if someone chimes-in to educate us as to what she meant to say, join the ranks of moron.

in the words of the great Colonel TC McQueen.

"An unloaded weapon always shoots the loudest."

Oh, and if someone doesn't realize what she meant to say or wouldn't consider that she may know little about the actual mechanics of a weapon and still be opposed to them, join the rank of moran.

To be fair Fairbs, Moran are form that family from countries (besides Switzerland) other than the United States of unavailing imbecile on this site, who think that keeping guns in a safe means that they are safe, who believe that more laws may just possibly fix humanity's woes or dysfunction, and who would love if the world outside their computer chairs wasn't such a scary place.

...oh, and this woman has no chin, looks like a grey alien fucked a rhesus monkey, and she's a city councilwoman from Sacramento, CA, a city chock-full of some of the flakiest motherfuckers on the planet.

Exactly. Even though the sound byte sounds stupid at first, the only reason you would have an unloaded gun in a holster is if you had bullets in your pocket. Sure it takes a few seconds to load them, but you're still pretty damn dangerous walking around that way.

I suspect she could be referencing a statement commonly heard after many accidental shootings, that statement being "I didn't think it was loaded". I might be wrong, she could be such an imbecile that she actually believes someone could be shot by an unloaded gun. If that makes me a moron then I'm okay with that, because it's pretty much a human constant, we're all morons at some point or another, kind of like death I guess. Of course, if you die while being a moron then that's an extra special distinction.

Come on, she probably meant having a gun, even though unloaded, can get you shot by someone else.

> if someone chimes-in to educate us as to what she meant to say,

What she means is that there are HUGE guns that actually use handguns as projectiles instead of bullets as is classically the case. She is right, it doesn't matter if the handgun is loaded or not, you can still be shot by one.

This isn't moronic in this slightest; When she says, 'many people have been killed by an unloaded gun,' she is talking about the subject as a metaphoric unloaded gun...because she passed high school english, and she can do that. The idea that 'an unloaded gun can still kill' is actually an extremely common rule in gun safety. Many accidents happen every year because people pull the trigger of a gun that seems harmless with the clip empty, but with a bullet accidentally left in the chamber. This is the reason that you never point any gun, loaded or not, at any living thing without killing intent.

Given that the bill is for the general public of the state of california, does it seem probable that one of those millions of people might not have the sensibility required to maintain proper gun safety? Further, does it seem probable that at least 1 death will happen in the next few years because this bill has passed? How many probable deaths are warranted before something like this shouldn't be passed?

This issue is not black and white.

Uhhh, yeah-the issue is black and white and yes, you are right, the metaphor is what she was trying to reference and she flubbed-it. Like most California politicians she also carries the distinction of having some personal hard-on or agenda for wanting Americans to be unarmed cattle. If the California-contingent in the senate and congress had it her way, the only people allowed guns in the nation would be police, military, and private individuals authorized by the state, your classic model of a totalitarian shit-hole.
