A grandfather who was officiating a wedding in Nebraska is facing charges after accidentally shooting his 12-year-old grandson during the ceremony, officials said.
Michael Gardner, 62, was officiating the festivities at Hillcrest Events in Denton around 5 p.m. on Saturday when he attempted to shoot a Pietta Model 1860 Snub Nose revolver loaded with a blank into the air to gain the attention of the wedding guests, according to Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Ben Houchin.
Gardner “decided to gain everybody’s attention and start the wedding with a bang,” Houchin said during a news conference Monday.
“When he decided to cock back the hammer of this revolver, it slipped and it shot his grandson into the left shoulder causing an injury,” Houchin said.
Zackey Rahimi was issued a civil restraining order by a Texas state court on February 5, 2020, after his ex-girlfriend accused him of assaulting her; the order barred him from engaging in certain harassment-related behaviors towards his ex-girlfriend or her child, as well as owning firearms. Suspecting Rahimi of an unrelated crime, officers executed a search warrant at his home, discovering a rifle and a pistol he admitted to possessing. He was charged and convicted in a federal district court of unlawful firearm possession under U.S.C. § 922(g)(8), which prohibits individuals from owning firearms if they are "subject to a court order that restrains [them] from harassing, stalking, or threatening an intimate partner."[3][4]
On February 2, 2023, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down U.S.C. § 922(g)(8) as unconstitutional, barring it from being enforced in Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana.[3] The Fifth Circuit withdrew the panel's opinion and filed a revised opinion on March 2, 2023, reaching the same result.[6] On March 17, 2023, the United States Justice Department petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn the appeals court decision and allow the federal law criminalizing firearm ownership by people under domestic violence restraining orders to stand.[7]
各位别光掏粪，保卫自己和家人更重要。
深夜出行不带枪，结果是致命的，在大街上被歹徒用刀刺杀。在大都市现在大白天都可以发生。当然， 纽约几乎无法获得隐蔽持枪执照，那是另外的问题。
按照美国法律， 这种情况下使用致命武力（包括开枪）自卫是合法的。 事实上，如果身上有枪多半无需开枪， 歹徒见枪99%是逃。
很可惜，受害者Ryan Carson是个支持BLM主张砸烂公检法的左派， 几乎可以肯定是反对公民持枪权利，也算求仁得仁吧。 阿弥陀佛 RIP
DA 放出来的惯犯 :
女友不配合警察 ;
选民该自责 :
求仁得仁 :
麻州居然规定不能从网上买防狼喷雾（网站都不会寄到麻州）。什么鬼规定。
能喷到脸上大概就能到眼睛里，让歹徒睁不开眼。
主张枪支注册，主张禁止半自动长弹夹的武器，并不是反对你的持枪权利。
左派擅长温水煮青蛙， 能禁这些离全面禁枪就不远了。 看看英国和欧洲就知道了。
禁止“半自动”？那就把所有手枪都禁了。 现在极左都还没说这个。
只练过一次枪， 完全没有自卫训练， 击退三个持枪抢劫惯犯
右派才是心狠手辣，然后碰到事就把自己的策略投射到别人身上，以为别人和自己一样阴险。
花了几十年把最高法院给颠覆了，持枪权已经无限扩大，还说左派温水煮青蛙。
真是没有自知之明。天天吓唬人。
这就像不管制空气污染一样，不同意从污染源解决问题，而是让所有人自己买面具，买治哮喘的药。

Living in fear.
从来没有法律禁止朝背后开枪。 开枪的原则是伤害威胁还没有消除。 只要伤害威胁还在， 面对还是背对是一样的。
吵架吵急了推了一把，在美国就是家暴。受到一定惩罚是应该的， 是不是需要剥夺宪法持枪权利，不是那么简单显然。
呵呵， 加州左派疫情的时候去买枪， 才知道不是CNN说的想买就买。
美国自卫原则非常简单清晰：在受到迫在眉睫的重大伤害的时刻就可以用致命武器自卫。
上过隐蔽持枪课的都知道。
左派和右派的区别在于， 右派认为持枪是每个人的权利， 你是否愿意行使这个权利是你的自由。 左派是自己不想带枪就想禁止别人带。
如果认真上过课仔细琢磨过一些案例这个区别太明显了。 侦办人员都意见不一当然有， 左棍检察官因为政治理由把显然的自卫指控为谋杀都有，比如Rittenhouse案， Zimmerman案。
问题关键在于， 如果你受到生命和重大伤害的迫在眉睫的威胁， 书本和现实的差别很重要吗？你得先活下来这个差别才有意义不是？
你是假定我会杀你就可以剥夺我的权利？这才好玩了。
