Perhaps you're aware of the Most Depressing Thing on the Internet, Slate's running tally of every US gun death since Newtown , which at the time of this writing stood at 4,850 including the six who were killed in Santa Monica in Friday's ordinary run-of-the mill mass murder spree by a kevlar-clad neo-berserker lunatic. Eleven people were killed that day in all; another, in Arizona, was shot by his
Sweet motherfucking jumped up christ...there aren't enough jokes about gouging out ones eyes and feeding them to the dog to do that picture justice.
However...I may have discovered a new rickroll picture.

I think the "giveaway" is idiotic as well, but pistols are harder to shoot than they look. Most people can't hit shit with a pistol and don't have the time or inclination to practice shooting. You can teach someone how to use a shotgun effectively in about a 1/2 hour.
That is true. However, imagine if you will - grandma wakes up at 2am to the sound of breaking glass downstairs. She babysits the grandkids during the day and doesn't have a gun safe as they are expensive and I doubt the Firearms Angels are including them in their miracle gift. Being a responsible gun owner* she doesn't keep it loaded. So Gran is now going to turn on the light and load her shotgun.
Maybe just the sight of the shotgun will instill enough fear to get rid of the intruder. In which case why not just go to Toys R Us and get a fake gun?
Yes, the whole 'defense' angle to gun ownership is pretty stupid; you're not likely, not even remotely likely, to have a gun ready if you were to actually need it.
Even if you have a firearm ready, your ability to properly use it under stress in a public situation without killing innocent people is unlikely. There is a reason police officers spend so much time at gun ranges conditioning themselves, and even they get into trouble.
There are *way* too many people who think they would be a hero if there was a public shooting and they were the Dirty Harry that took the guy out. The problem is, when bullets start zinging around, the Dirty Harry hopeful most likely wouldn't know which way was up let alone be able to get his gun out and shoot the right person.
It's not much different for the person trying to "defend their property" with a gun at home - is that shape in the hallway your teenage kid sneaking in late or is it a burglar? You are not conditioned/trained to be calm with a weapon and may pick the wrong one.
Right...now releasing &quot;classified&quot; documents, hoo-boy! <i>That&#039;s</i> a way to get in real trouble. Peter King might extradite you all by his big fatass bigmouth self.
Why shotguns? I am not a fan of this - it&#039;s ridiculous and dangerous, but if you are going to give people a gun - why the fuck would you not give them a pistol?

you maybe thinking about shit...as in for brains.
oh god, I can&#039;t believe someone actually google image searched that other photo of him to see if there were others ... there are ... my god
How would a simple shot gun defend against that photo of the rapist with aids? He has an arsenal there

What is that next to the noodle? Is that a triple jelly dong?

Gawd it makes me ill.
Pool noodle: missing.
I DO NOT WONDER WHERE IT IS
Stupid git....
If you zoom out a lot, you also can see a giant circle around the United States, saying &quot;Potentially Homicidal Gun Nuts&quot;
What the fuck are you searching for anyway, that Goggle Maps turns up both &quot;your daughter&quot; and &quot;AIDS Rapist&quot;

I see now. Without a gun, your macho cred is 0.
