Really? That's how you choose to debate? By inventing unrealistic scenarios that have likely never occured, or ever will occur? Wouldn't an indoor firing range have regulations and code requirements that would keep a bullet from going through a wall and hitting someone outside?
That's like wondering if the rule would apply if an alien spaceship fired a space laser, and deflected the bullet to hit someone, would the shooter still be responsible?
No, Skippy, in that case, probably not. You got me there, I guess you win the entire argument that ALL gun users are taught they they are 100% responsible for the path of their bullet.
Relax. Seems like a silly what if. Not a debate.
For real. I mean the universe rarely deals in absolutes. Ask a physicist if there's a chance if you can pass your hand straight through a table and technically, yes their is. Even though it's astronomically improbable.
I just mentioned a scenario I thought of from the top of my head where the shooter wouldn't be the one liable for what the bullet did. I could come up with more. It's just silly to claim "100% full stop" with just about anything.
