Yes, Lucy in earlier reports it was stated that his gun jammed and that came from the person who I believe was an off duty officer who took the gun away from Reeves.

Of course they've changed the story.
They'll keep changing it until they find one that seems to exonerate the trigger happy old fart from murdering one person and winging another, won't they?

Ironic, 'Given your posts and all that...' except there are no such posts.

So, nothing on the topic, nothing factual, and nothing to back up the assertions.

Which proves absolutely nothing.

Where in the post did I say anything but answer the question that Lucy asked?

As I said, it's okay. We all have our beliefs and are passionate in our opinions especially when they don't agree with everyone. We have not agreed on a lot of things but have also found common ground and remained civil. I respect you for that.

I saw something scroll on the main page saying it proved he tried to shoot again and I was still thinking
about that level of ignorance when I posted to you, again I am sorry about the mistake.

So now that the question of authorship is fully resolved, is it clear that the weapon failing to fully complete the firing cycle has nothing to do with the intent of the user?

Lmfao........ All I said was, it proved he was trying to fire again (post#444), unless you are suggesting the trigger pulled itself then I was speaking the truth.

How we use the language varies a bit, Polite. A semi-auto pistol works the same way on both sides of the Atlantic. [8|]

No, Polite. It doesn't prove any such thing. When you fire a semi-auto handgun, pulling the trigger fires one round. A portion of the energy released in firing the bullet causes the weapon to automatically (hence the name) eject the used cartridge case, and load the next round into the chamber. When the next round fails to load properly, that is known as a "jam."

If Reeves had been trying to manually work the action to clear the misfed round, that would likely show intent to fire again. According to the reports, he just sat down.

Please feel free to utilize Google to enhance your understanding of the machine and mechanical operation in question. What you don't know is obvious to anyone with the most basic comprehension of firearms, and your assumption is wholly inaccurate.
