Alice in Blunderland

We talked about this before. Funny-- all that money to produce this and all that free media publicity masked as "news," and the video still has under 30K You Tube views at this writing, with an over 11-to-one "thumbs down" rating.  Let me be the first to encourage the Brady Boobs to keep it up and flush even more money away. Better that than using it to more harmful effect.

While I was focused on philosophical observations, WarOnGuns Correspondent Joe homed right in on more practical matters:

David, I've gotta go here. Watch the video again and freeze frame as needed. You have a standard, 1911 Gov't style pistol with the hammer clearly DOWN. It's either in Condition 2 or 3 and CANNOT fire unless "Alice" jacks the slide and / or thumbs the hammer to full cock while depressing the grip safety to fire the first round. She doesn't.

The Brady bunch may have spent a lot of money on visual effects, but I'm gonna stamp this video as a GALACTIC FAILURE.

I can't think of a safer, and more difficult weapon for a young child's weak hands to set off than a standard issue, THREE SAFETY, 1911 Gov't style pistol. 

( Properly stored with an empty chamber in condition 3, of course.)

You'd think a "common sense gun safety" group would know that.
