This video could have been pretty disgusting if the gun didn't jam.

I think all guns sold to civilians should have a 1 in 20 chance to jam on each shot.

he choked and couldn't pull the trigger..he had plenty of time to re-chamber and fire

They do, all guns do, it's called Murphy's law.

No, he pulled the trigger, it jammed. You can see in the video the panic on the guy's face as he tries to unjam his gun.

Eventually, the attacker was identified by police as 25-year-old Oktai Enimehmedov, a Bulgarian national and ethnic Turk, from the coastal city of Burgas. He was carrying the gas pistol and two knives. A gas pistol is a non-lethal weapon used for self-defense, but experts say when fired from close range it can cause life-threatening injuries.

If the speaker had been armed, then this near disaster could have been averted.

Same thing happened in Nevada.


A Democratic assemblyman is in jail, arrested for threatening Democratic Speaker-elect Marilyn Kirkpatrick, according to North Las Vegas Police and Democratic sources familiar with the situation.
