The dream of a lifetime for gun owners everywhere!
I must say - you almost had me going until the "'If this can happen to an experienced gun handler like Senator Feinstein" part.
I remember reading a gun magazine back in the early 80s about a Ruger 44 Carbine.
The authors stated something to the effect: "This gun is easy enough to use that Teddy Kennedy would be able to operate it."
(Too bad that the didn't read the instruction manual - they mistakenly thought that all ammo had to be cycled through the chamber to unload the piece)
Still funny, though.
Darn...
Won't mention who I was picturing as the bystanders...
