Hi, Poseidon:
Taking your points in no particular order:
Neither Fiddletown nor I are telling folks to buy guns they can't afford. We're just explaining the aftermath dangers of removing safety devices. Doesn't cost the guy with the stock Browning anything to leave the disconnector in. (And thanks for the raise! 3K an hour...sigh.)
Please don't believe that the attacks we're discussing occur only in "bleeding heart liberal states." It's not that cut and dried. Unscrupulous arguments in court, like crime, are without boundaries. In your example, Kansas, if things were really that pro-gun there, Kansans would have gotten shall-issue concealed carry a lot sooner than they actually did.
As to the crime labs, even if the shooting takes place in Mayberry, it won't be Barney Fife doing the investigation: it'll be state police detectives from the major crimes squad, if the small department doesn't have its own people to do it, or experienced investigators from a large county agency. They will have access to well-equipped, well-staffed state and regional crime labs.
