Here is the perfect example of what NOT to do..

Somewhat related:

When I was about 14, I learned one of the most important lessons of my life -> Every firearm is loaded [even if you just unloaded it].

My brother and I were switching back and forth launching clays for each other while the other guy shot them. My dad was shooting with us, but we had been doing this for years by then, so he had confidence that he had taught us well. He had, but evidently, I was still an immature idiot. After one of my turns shooting, I decided to be "cool" (read: very stupid) and blow the smoke from my shotgun's barrel, western-movie cowboy style. As I blew on the barrel, I pulled the trigger with my thumb to release the firing pin on what I thought was an empty chamber. It wasn't.

Mossberg 500 12 gauge went off two inches from my face. Stopped shooting for the day and walked home shaking. Never again.

Think outside the (we're going to take your guns away from you) box. Situations like this might not (in most cases) result in (as in your partial quote) "banning all of them now", but the Anti's will take any little opening they can get and try to drive a wedge in for their own gain.

Anti: Look at that idiot playing with a gun. The "gun nuts" tell us how safe and all they are when using their dangerous weapons, but here's another example of their mentality when it comes to using a gun safely. We can use this video to get other people over to our way of thinking.

or..

Anti: Oh my God! Isn't that Mr. (whatever his name might be). Little Johnny showed me his video on the computer showing him trying to kill himself with a gun. I wonder if the Cops know anything about his attempt? I'll have to tell them. They need to lock him up or something.

The above are just two of the many possible scenarios (which has nothing to do with banning) the Anti's could conjure up . Every little thing we do like this is just that much more we don't need.

So the first one is something I already covered, nothing major could come out of it as there have been worse videos throughout the years and nothing has happened because of them. The second one involves just that guy because of his video and it clearly wasn't a suicide attempt and either way they would investigate before they locked him up as mentally unstable.

It's Obvious..

It's the accumulation of things like this that finally leads the Anti's to start yelling about wanting more and more restrictions. I thought you would have realized that. Obviously NOT!

I never said it was a suicide. But the Anti's could easily use this as another piece of their propaganda spewn toward the uninformed. In addition.. the investigation itself (even if it didn't lead to a lockup), could cause enough trouble (both personal and monetarily), that it wasn't worth doing the video in the first place.

Like I said in my first post.. "You've got to look outside the box" to see the problems this could create.

Smile for the camera

*It is funny how after the guns goes click and he works the action you see no shell come out. But every time he shoots the gun a shell comes out.

Fake as obama's plan to save us all.

...

Interesting that you're right, no shell..

So, I agree with your second thought..

But, interesting, suspicious, why (or what are the chances?) he would be filming himself shooting targets so close and capture the_moment 9 sec's after the first click to where he's looking down the barrel then boom (clueless I guess.. ) as to the 15 sec rule of keeping the/any muzzle pointing down range in the_event of a slow-burn which is my take of what is supposed to be happening.

Stuff happens, so, I hope those that do watch this "get something" from it that will save a life or prevent such an accident -

Looks real to me... but I've been fooled before.

They are always yelling to get more restrictions but they have been fuled by ignorance. I can't see anything coming out of this, I'm sorry but I can't.

You reap what you sow.

Looks real to me too, but I'll accept it if it ain't. What I can't figure out for the life of me is who would ever think to look down the barrel in an attempt to check out a malfunctioning gun? What is there to see down there? What in the world might you find in the barrel that was making the rounds misfire? Nobody and nothing.
