Those bullets rattling loudly on the table, leaving dents... one of the most underrated and subtle pieces of cinematography I've seen.

Where were the dents left on the table by the bullets? I saw markings on the table prior to the bullets being dropped. I guess the cinematography you admire was enough to influence your perception.

The Gun episode, the "Rolf-9" is based on the Ruger Mini-14 which was easily convertible to full-auto back in the 80s until Ruger was forced to modify the bolt design, just like they said in the show.

[@juliofranciscogomezstoppel1860]

i still can't stand that lawsuit. It sounds like the state blaming the company for their own incompetence to enforce the law, as the lady said, if the market is regulated, and they find irreguralities, its the state who is negligent. I don't see the difference between this case, and buying a truck to run over people, to then lawsuit toyota.

[@chrismartindale7840]

Toyota didn't design the truck to run over people. The gun maker did design the gun to be fired automatically.

[@Hakitosama]

@@juliofranciscogomezstoppel1860 you know what's happening in my country ? We can't have guns... Does it mean we can't find them if we are determined enough ? No. No black market exists. But the controls make it incredibly difficult and thus it lowers the potential damage. When you sell killing machine, it is your duty as a company to do damage control. And if it means stopping a production to redesign and put more safety ? Then you STOP the production. Remember the problem with the exploding batteries in the Galaxy phone ? You know what they did ? They stopped the production and REDESIGNED the whole sh*t so it would stop exploding.

[@wilson2455]

in the 'Rolf-9' TV case, the jury came back Guilty but the judge overruled them, stating that the company was manufacturing/selling a legal firearm !

[@openthinker6562]

This is supposedly based on the Ruger Mini-14 having the ability to be converted to fully automatic. While a jury did declare they were guilty, it was ultimately overruled and dismissed since the company wasn’t held liable for what others did to their products. Ruger did made modifications to make it harder, but criminals always figure out a way around it. Look at the Glocks. Also, fun fact: Ruger made a version called the AC-556, a fully automatic version of the Mini-14. Ironically, for Law Enforcement

The gun they have in the show is the vz. 61 also known as Skorpion. By default it comes with 10 or 20 round mags of .32 ACP, aftermarket mags are 30 rounds. Possibly not all the rounds in one mag but since they talked about magwell modifications I presume he had multiple mags and changed them mid shoot.

[@corigram]

When my kidlet was nine, they had a section involving safety and guns in school. They had to make a poster about it. He drew a poster with the caption, "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." The school came unglued over it. I did explain to him why they came unglued, but I didn't fault him for it as it was quite insightful for his age. While I agree with reasonable gun restrictions and favor an assault rifle ban, it is the person wielding the weapon that is far more important than an inanimate object regardless of its potential lethality. Edit: FYI, I'm an agnostic, progressive nonpartisan, former social worker/leo with an M.S.W., born while the last frontier was still a territory of the U.S. when bears and wolves were a potential threat on a daily basis. I grew up with weapons as a necessity for personal protection. No one was shooting up schools, etc., in mass murder scenarios. Now, guns are the number one cause of death for our children, frequently by other children. Guns are a symptom/byproduct of the problem, and while banning them reduces the death toll, our society's bigger issue is what are we doing in raising our children that has led to this and how do we fix THAT.

The part where you lot often ignore the part about militias, how there have been restrictions on the handling of firearms since the start of this country (some of them pushed for by Madison himself), and the part where if the absolutionist version of it was accepted, it'd be a constitutional right to carry guns in prison. Afterall, there is no clause that denies convicts constitutional rights anywhere in the constitution. In fact, several rights are written with them in mind entirely. And I don't know about you, but last thing I'd want is criminals in priosn with guns, and it's a damned stretch to claim that they don't have that right if you don't factor in the well-regulated militia portion like you gun nuts want to avoid doing.
