Reid needs to get off his ass and hold hold votes on any number of the Bills passed by the House. If they are as bad as he says, they will be defeated. More llikely he's afraid they will pass.
You start the scoring several centuries ago so that you can arbitrarily draw some moral equivalency between the Crusades and Inquisition and the current carnage and oppression wrought by radical Muslims. Dozens and dozens of generations have passed and entire political and religious establishments come and gone. You are apparently engaging in an inherently religious practice yourself...sins of your fathers (paraphrased).
Even going with your bizarre scorecard, radical Muslims are gaining in leaps and bounds and will soon dwarf anything you may want to blame on Christianity.
Timothy McVeigh's "Christian" beliefs are far outside the mainstream of Christianity. I'd say even farther than the radical Muslims are from the Muslim populace as a whole. Sounds Like the same old story of radicals using a perverted version of an accepted orthodoxy to justify their actions.

Yep...how long before some "Researcher" figures out how to disable/override electronic safeties firearms. So guns that should work, do and guns that should work, don't.
I can't watch videos at work so I'll just guess that it involves various ways of the rifle being impacted somehow...dropped, whacked, etc.
I think it all comes down to when the shell is locked and loaded, your weapon needs to be pointed downrange. Otherwise, in my book, it's negligence. There are holsters that provide a physical block between the hammer and the firing pin so in that case, the weapon could be considered "safe" with a round in the chamber. But I think you will find that's a bone of contention in the firearms community.
Defective weapons, well, let's call that negligence on the part of the manufacturer...although that doesn't help the poor sod who's gun went off when it wasn't supposed to.
But I don't think they've figured out how to write a law that say you can't do this or that, except when you've reached the limit of your ability to obey the law.
So the only option is to set an absolute standard and let the chips fall where they may.
1. Always know what's behind your target...housing developments or others in your hunting department. Always know what you are shooting at. A glimpse of white is not a legitimate target. If I were on that jury, he would be in jail for at least six months.
2. Firing into the air. OK, add another type of shooting to my list...just plain stupid. And definitely against the rules.
3. I would say this falls broadly under know what you are shooting at and what's behind it.
And I'm not sure I understand battue correctly. Wouldn't that put the folks flushing the game on the other side of the game and thereby in danger of getting shot?
As for the geocachers...hunting season, in the Forrest = bright orange vests.
There is no such thing as an "accidental shooting" either.
1. Negligent. 2. Intentional.
There can be an accidental discharge. but if you are following the rules for guns, which have been around since the first gun, then it doesn't turn into a "shooting".
The meaning of the Second Amendment was never addressed by the Supreme Court until 2003. A previous decision regarding what kind of weapon is a militia weapon ruled out sawed off shotguns but did not speak to whether the 2nd provided a collective right or an individual right.
In 2003, the matter was ruled on and it is now settled law.
Which makes your post not worth the flakes of skin you shed while typing it or the booger that dropped into your keyboard.
Not to mention the fact that any disaster which would take out the local power lines will most likely destroy your fancy solar panels at the same time.
Now, if they would only apply it to Internet videos.
Who hasn't opened a web page only to have their work space flooded with some idiot shilling for some product at the max volume level of your video player?

Bloomberg is an idiot.
It doesn't matter what someone steals or why they stole it, it's still theft.
It's his city and his policies. Fucking buck up and own it.
What a pussy.
I wonder how much longer this festering little hell hole will last.

Hmmm...well, you may have found a legitimate "accidental shooting". But I think it requires a good bit of Stupid to be involved.
This Battue sounds unsporting and dangerous. I'm surprised the PETA people haven't gone nuts over this.
I'm game...

As for the geocachers
+1 on that for imagination.
So...when your house burns down and the gas in your car (which is in the garage) blows up...is that an automobile accident?
It's probably safe to say that the vast majority of Slashdotters are programmers of some kind or are very familiar with computers and software.
Which is why I am astounded that anyone with such a background would think putting a computer (microchip, etc) in a firearm is a good idea.
1. Gun Cleaning accidents. Step one of cleaning any weapon: unload it and make it safe.
2. Dropping firearms. Modern firearms do not do this, unless of course they have been modified... Negligently.
3. Ammo Mixup. How is that anything other than being negligent?
4. So dogs eat homework AND shoot their hunting partners. Firearms should be secured and made safe when you are not holding them.
5. Kids playing with guns. Probably the textbook definition of negligence.
There is no such thing as an "accidental shooting" either.
1. Negligent.
2. Intentional.
There can be an accidental discharge. but if you are following the rules for guns, which have been around since the first gun, then it doesn't turn into a "shooting".
...are finally finding something besides how to hack into some software.
Hello! Is anyone home in there?

The Second Amendment is CLEAR.
The Supreme Court was CLEAR that you are WRONG.
I wonder if he had a Slashdot account.

The fun thing about stupid fucks like this guy...one day, he will be part of the "old people".
A cruel irony, but well deserved.
'regime change' as practiced by the Arab Spring is simply trading one kind of dictator for another.
"Social and Economic Justice" = Totalitarianism in a nutshell.
