I believe he claimed she used to go shooting with his father - that was my point - I never said she had used that particular gun before. Did Jeremy need special tuition before he used it?
Bit stupid to buy a gun to plant on his sister which was impossible for her to use don't you think? If he had been planning this for so long , was this just a small oversight?
He claimed she had walked in the past when Nevill had shotguns. There is no evidence she actually did but this still has no bearing on the use of the Anschutz.
Jeremy initially LIED claiming she had used the weapon. That was his way of dealing with the fact she hadn't. After it because clear police were not concerned he changed it to she had walked with Nevill and AP as they shot shotguns.
The police who knew little about firearms COMPLETELY MISSED the significant point about needing to manually chamber the first round of a semi-auto. That is one of the problems when you have investigators who don't use firearms.
Each time I point out this significant point you and other Jeremy supporters just close your eyes because of your bias. There is no actual evidence that Sheila went with her father as he shot anything with his shotgun- the tale she did so with AP and Nevill together was a lie. Jeremy would have no way to know if she was with Nevill as he shot the gun unless Jeremy was there as well to witness it but he never actually said she was with him and others as shooting took place.
The same BS keeps coming from Jeremy supporters who are too biased to admit the truth. These Jeremy supporters assert:
1) the gun was so simply a child could use it
2) she would have to have seen weapons used because she grew up on a farm.
These 2 arguments do no respond to the points I made. I have pointed this out time and again.
The claim the gun is so easy to use a child can use it refers to the kick and weight of the weapon being not too much for a child to handle. A child would have no idea how to load, unload and fire the weapon though unless trained to do so. Loading all the rounds in the magazine could be too much for a child though. You have to push very hard in order to get the 8-10 rounds in.
Being around a farm doesn't mean you ever see weapons used. Even if you do just watching someone doesn't mean you will see how to use it. You can't easily see what latches people push. So you won't necessarily even know how to use the weapon you saw them use let alone a weapon that functions differently. The Anschutz functioned unlike any other weapon the family had in the past.
I noted how Lynette Fromme grew up around guns but didn't know the first round of the semi-auto she tried to use to assassinate US President Ford needed to be chambered first. She just cocked the hammer pilled the trigger, the hammer fell and nothing happened. Nothing happened because there was no bullet in the chamber for the firing pin (that the hammer hits) to set off. She didn't even realize the first round needed to be chambered let alone how to do it.
That is the same exact situation that Sheila would have faced. Jeremy supporters realize this is a big problem but are not interested int he truth but rather are interested in believing Jeremy is innocent no matter what so just ignore this and try to bury it with the claim well a child could use the gun so that means she just naturally would know how to use it. That is a pathetic argument and copout.
