        thier union is pratically a gang/mafia that can strongarm the cities, so technically not a true union.

    That’s not what “accidental” means though. If you’re fucking around with guns, you expected this. You were taught about this exact thing in gun safety class FFS.

    Pigs are fucking dumbass bottom feeders. And the state gives them weapons. Preventing an accidental discharge is actually quite easy when you don’t treat your firearm like a fucking toy. I’ve yet to have one cos I don’t treat my firearm like a fucking toy.

    I’ve heard (no idea where, might be fake) that the NYPD used to get special Glocks that had a very heavy trigger. They probably had a few incidents like this they wanted to address.

      Yeah, in the game Receiver it tells you about firearms and firearm safety while playing. One of the stories is about cops getting glocks in the US. The standard handling in Europe was no round chambered and no safety, since it couldn’t fire until you chambered a round. In the US it was always have a round chambered, but rely on a safety mechanism to prevent discharges. The Glock, being a European gun, didn’t have a mechanical safety. A lot of cops apparently accidentally discharged their firearm because of this.

      (I’ve never fact check this, and it’s been like 10+ years since I heard this, so some details may be wrong.)
