If he dies (unlikely at the moment, granted) will Cheney be charged with homicide? Given that he displayed a huge amount of incompetence when in charge of the gun (walking unbroken, shooting to the rear, failing to identify his target, failing to clear arcs), I am surprised that this hasn't been leapt upon by the anti-gun lobby. He also failed to buy a shooting permit for the area. Still, could be worse for him - he could have shot a lawyer. Whoops, he did!
There is a TV clip of him being awarded a flintlock rifle by the NRA - and the bloke on stage looks like Elmer Fudd, FFS! The right to bear arms my arse!
