ok, representative it is. now tell me truthfully: doee he look like a compelte di-k or am I just just imagining it??

Things looked horrible for the future-former representative a few days ago. After today's press conference, is it possible for things to get worse? Even his buddy Pelosi wants an ethics investigation on Weiner. Is there any way possible for this bum to get stay on long term as he said he will - and maybe even seek reelection? I think it'd be a huge mistake for the Democrats to back this horse in 2012, but stranger things have happened.

That's the guy that was absolutely outraged and indignant... apoplectic that anyone but the government should claim your estate when you die... even though you were taxed as you made the money and spent the money or earned interest.
He was screaming they're dead! Why should anyone else get the money.

Of course, he won't quit... he's a Democ-RAT and knows no shame... and certainly has no honor.

proper trigger discipline would prevented every AD that ever happened with modern pistols, most of which now include a firing pin block safety. period...end of story.

Except those stuck firing pin Model 59 and 39 Smith and Wesson's, or those slam fire Glocks, or... those Browings that fired when you put the safety into the "off" position, or... you get the idea. I agree with you, but mechanical problems still account for their share of problems. Even Sig had its share of slam fires a while back. Mechanical things can fail, or just be made incorrectly.

Who brought this back on topic? We had a good thread jacking going here. Let us all remember the three most important of the commandments 1: all guns are loaded always 2: point the muzzle not at anything that needs not be shot, as well as the behind the things that do need shootin' 3: Keep your booger hook off the bang switch until something needs shootin'.

Not to belabor the point, but all Glock double fires that I've heard of were attributed to modified trigger components and I've never heard of a Glock "slamfiring".
Speaking as certified Sig Armorer, properly maintained/unmodified Sig pistols will not slam fire. The trigger has to be pulled which means the users finger or other device is engaging the trigger, causing the disconnector to engage the firing pin block safety.

Magazine disconnects will also not prevent a faulty trigger mechanism, neither will they prevent defective pistols.

It is the sole responsibility of the end user to engage in proper gun safety which includes muzzle and trigger discipline. Failure to do both is gross negligence and a mechanical device, to your point should never be counted on a fail-safe or an excuse for stupidity.
