My neighborhood last night. Pretty damn frightening.

So you're looking forward to a shootin' war with the wingnuts? Good luck, bro.

My friends would have been first up to bat, and deservedly so.

The most irresponsible gun-owners of the last year were undoubtedly the police.

Well, i DID love my gun at one point, but lately it's been leaving me so unfufilled and unsatisfied, what with it's constantly getting flustered and anxious misfiring too early and all! I think I'm going to cheat on it with non-violent resolution for more thorough satisfaction!

Shouldn't he be carrying around a pea shooter?

Yeah you gotta be large-chested 14 year-old schoolgirl, first, lady Ammosexuals!

And who wants to bet that these are the same brain trust who'll be lecturing people on message boards about gun minutia? ("I accidentally shot my brother in the balls with a SEMI-automatic, Libtards! Shows how dumb YOU are!")

I believe I have written this on Wonkette before (even though comments are not allowed), but my older brother got a BB gun when he was 7 years old, and while watching an episode of The Lone Ranger in which the Bad Indians were about to shoot the Good Lone Ranger, he shot the TV, trying to help the Lone Ranger out. He was lectured severely about never using the BB gun inside the house. A few days later while sitting on the living room sofa, he shot at something in the front yard, putting a large hole in the picture window and narrowly missing my 1-yr-old head as I stood in my play pen. My father took the BB gun away. So my question is, why do people give guns to 7-yr-olds in the first place, or keep guns in a house where young children live??? We have laws about car seats, and vaccinations, and not leaving young children home alone, but no laws about not keeping guns locked up where children live. It's totally, completely, unquestionably insane.

No, most of us simply don't want to get shot. Like, ever.

A gun free home is one in which your chances of getting shot are immediately lower, the minute there is no gun present.

Good for you, BTW.

I think I could marry this lady.

"The couple “accidentally” fired 27 rounds at the woman"

"North Las Vegas police said that no charges would be filed because the shooting had been accidental."

I wonder if Bill Cosby can use a similar defense.

That's about the best part of Central Texas, the HEB. I don't want to ever move back up to Dallas and have to shop at Sak n Save or Carnival again!
