This topic is proof positive that you can have a political discussion without it going postal in the wrong direction after 4 pages. Keep up the good work!

If you cock a revolver the first thing it does is rotate the cylinder so the empty chamber has now moved. Same thing with a double action.

True. But the original statement was the empty chamber is the first to fire. Wrong. The first to fire is the chamber next to the empty. And when the cylinder comes around to that empty chamber what happens? The gun can't fire an empty chamber.
So the empty is the first to not fire.

Thats is correct.
