Gun safety advice from Dick Cheney, the guy who once shot his friend in the face — MSNBC

Gun safety advice from Dick Cheney, the guy who once shot his friend in the face — MSNBC:

'via Blog this'

"The former vice president, a staunch NRA ally, didn’t deviate significantly from the pro-gun talking points we’ve been hearing. He extolled the virtues of more guns in the classroom by way of armed officers, saying that approach was “probably a more effective deterrent than anything that Congress seems to be debating at the present time.”
Cheney’s own firearms mishap didn’t make it into the conversation. He made headlines in 2006 when he shot a friend in the face while quail hunting. The accidental injury made Cheney the first vice president since Aaron Burr to shoot someone. (Burr killed his political rival Alexander Hamilton in a duel. He was eventually tried for treason for unrelated reasons.)"
