1. What they should say is as follows.

There is no such thing as a hunting accident. Someone screwed up. Apparently in this case both are to blame. It is mostly Cheney's fault because he fired the gun.

2. Until RWers hijacked the NRA,

they were primarily hunter types who were strong advocates for RESPONSIBLE gun ownership. IMO they are unlikely so say word one about "Big gun, little D***" Cheney.

3. Shouldn't that be

"Little gun, little dick" Cheney?

I don't know anything about guns, but that's what I got from all of the shotgun threads.

:shrug:

7. It's more of a big, forceful, very short range gun.

8. How's that good for hunting birds?

Seems like they'd either be too far away, or you would shred them. Or am I mistaken again?

Vice President needs to be straight shooter

...You flat out, undeniably, violated one of the Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety: Know your target and what is beyond.

The National Rifle Association, arguably the foremost teacher and promoter of firearms safety in America with its superlative, extensive education and training programs, includes this expanded explanation beneath that commandment:

"Be absolutely sure you have identified your target beyond any doubt. Equally important, be aware of the area beyond your target. This means observing your prospective area of fire before you shoot. Never fire in the direction in which there are people or any other potential for mishap. Think first. Shoot second."...

It may have been an accident, human error, of which we all are guilty from time to time. Your buddy possibly should have hollered..."

5. That's just their general rule, not a comment on the Cheney situation

I want to see them criticizing the vice president specifically for violating their hunting safety rules.
