'When in doubt, take their guns'

For the first time in 50 years of fake gunfights at Wild West City, a real bullet slipped into the mix, and authorities respond by seizing the guns. Nothing surprises anymore.

Guns seized despite this: "Bill Fitzgibbons, the Sussex County First Assistant Prosecutor, said authorities so far have not found any government agency that has jurisdiction over the performances at Wild West City, a Byram theme park." No doubt Fitzgibbons or someone else will be working on changing the law so that some government bureaucrat does have jurisdiction.

Guns seized despite this: "The theme park is marking its 50th anniversary this year, and local officials have said they know of no other serious accidents ever happening there."

OK, the guns were seized for examination so they could figure out which gun fired the live round - but "those tests would not determine which gun fired a live round last week - unless the bullet is retrieved and examined."

Yep, it's a darn shame that a guy is lying in the hospital in serious condition, but either somebody deliberately targeted him - in which case we have a case of attempted homicide - or for the first time in thousands and thousands of performances, something went terribly wrong. In either case increased government oversight is absolutely wrong. But that won't stop them.
