    6:10 okay so as someone who does own a gun and have shot multiple guns before I can safely say that not only are you correct about the fact that you’re not supposed to just be satisfied with the mer belief that a gun is empty but you’re also actually always supposed to treat a gun as if it was loaded even when you’re 100% certain beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is unloaded. You’re also supposed to keep your finger off the trigger until you’re ready to fire and never ever point a firearm at a living creature (human or animal) unless you plan to kill it, less you end up like this lawyer. Also always know what’s behind your target.

      Not just gun safety but a lot of safety rules in general when working with dangerous equipment. I work with high voltage equipment and lasers, and whenever I have to open up the high voltage stuff for diagnostic/repairs, I need to treat it as if it is fully powered up and minimize direct contact in case all the other safety controls have failed. For lasers, I behave as though I have no safety equipment or barriers and minimize putting any part of my body near the beamline. Safety measures are never perfect, and their failure can have very heavy consequences, so you operate as though they can fail anytime.

    I have a good bit of experience with both original civil war era firearms and newly made reproductions of them and I can confirm it takes a almost painful degree of absent minded stupidity to miss-identify a loaded/non loaded firearm from that era, especially since what makes them go bang is external and in pretty much plain view at all times just about.

      He may have had primers on both revolvers. The practice of law can be as much about theater as it is about legal procedure so it's likely that he put primers on his "unloaded" weapon so that it would go "bang" for his demonstration and underscore his point to the jury. Total failure safety-wise regardless. This event is a pretty good analogue to the chain of events that led to Baldwin shooting that staffer on "Rust".

    To be fair to Vallandigham, Lincoln absolutely was a despot at the time, he benefitted from a huge cult of personality as time went on after the assassination. Lincoln banned negative press about himself, mandated prayer services have prayers for him and jailed serval ministers who didn’t comply (despite Lincoln himself being an ardent agnostic), started the policy of outsourcing Law Enforcement to private firms which got so bad we wound up with the Anti-Pinkerton act, and fully intended to sent America’s freed slave population to Liberia in a repatriation effort that would probably constitute a genocide by today’s standards.
    It’s a complicated issue. (Fuck slavery though.)

    • @professorhaystacks6606
      @professorhaystacks6606 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      On the Liberia thing, while Lincoln did favor the repatriation plan initially, after the Haiti resettlement experiment of 1882-84 backfired horrendously he seems to have abandoned the idea. Perhaps more for practical reasons than moral ones but the point remains: after that he didn't seem to pursue the idea any further.

    You're right, Lincoln is generally looked at favorably, but he was a tyrant, make no mistake, and not one bit anti-slavery. He was a principle drafter of the Corwin amendment, which would have made slavery permanent at the federal level, called the emancipation declaration a war measure only, and he used the 14th amendment as a bargaining chip with the Confederate states, claiming they could prevent its adoption if they rejoined the Union. The truth about Lincoln is he was in favor of the federal government, first and foremost, regardless of what that meant about slavery.
