:05:00
And so did this man,
:05:03
the Oscar-winning actor
and president
:05:05
of the National
Rifle Association,
:05:08
Mr. Charlton Heston.
:05:13
We come from a state
where everyone
:05:15
loves to go hunting.
:05:18
- Hah.
- Even the dogs.
:05:20
- There were actually
two of the hunters at camp.
:05:23
They thought
they'd get a few pictures
:05:25
of the dog dressed up
as a hunter
:05:27
to kind of just have some fun
around camp.
:05:29
And one of the guys
had the idea that,
:05:31
"Why don't we sling a rifle
on the dog's back
:05:34
to make the pictures
a little more interesting.
:05:37
The victim was kneeling down
in front of the dog
:05:40
when the weapon slipped.
:05:42
The one round went through
the victim's shin,
:05:45
the right part of his shin,
:05:47
and came out through
the back of his calf.
:05:49
- Was the dog hauled off for any
period of time by the police?
:05:52
- No, it wasn't. No.
:05:54
Um, in Michigan,
the law basically states
:05:58
that people can commit crimes
that animals
:06:01
aren't some... form of,
uh, you know,
:06:04
whatever that can
commit a crime.
:06:05
- An animal cannot commit a crime
:06:07
or be charged with a crime
in this state.
:06:09
- Exactly.
- Is it possible that the dog
:06:12
knew what it was doing?
- That, I don't know.
:06:15
I really wouldn't be able
to tell you that.
:06:17
The dog was cute
dressed up as a hunter,
:06:19
there's no doubt about it.
I mean, it was a funny picture,
:06:22
um, you know, to look at.
:06:24
It was... it was kind of neat.
:06:28
- Yup, this was the kind
of place I was from.
:06:31
A box
:06:32
of 270s.
- Coming up.
:06:37
There you go.
- Perfect.
:06:42
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
:06:45
Sorry about that, sorry.
:06:46
- So I've been discharged.
:06:48
- You don't need no gun control.
You know what you need?
:06:52
We need some bullet control.
:06:55
We need to control the bullets,
that's right.
:06:58
I think all bullets
should cost $5,000.
