A Chaska, Minnesota, family is just not having a good week when it comes to accidentally shooting each other. It's kind of hard for Yr Wonkette to really identify with, what with not owning a gun and all, which means we are apparently missing out on all the awesome self-protection and unintended flesh wounds, not to mention the public mockery. (OK, there was that one time when we put Calgon, British Colombia,* in the wrong state of Canada, but at least that left no holes in our body).
This post is making the Darwinian argument against gun control, and if they'd just shoot each other it might be a viable one. Regrettably, the enthusiasm of gun nuts cannot be contained within their own circles.
Maybe they could all be persuaded to move to that &quot;free&quot; community in Idaho where everyone will be required to have an AR-15. Let&#039;s see how things are going <a href="http:\/\/iiicitadel.blogspot.com\/" target="_blank">out there</a>.
<blockquote>The application fee for the Citadel is not being spent. It is being deposited in a bank account....The beachhead property is only to get us a physical, legal presence in Idaho. It isn&#039;t the final location of the Citadel. As soon as practical, we will move the III Arms Company production to that property and there will be a small number of people living there as base to work from.
Our initial financial support will come from sales of firearms by the III Arms Company...Along those same lines, III Arms won&#039;t be hiring any employees until sales are sufficient to sustain them. Also, other than some basic local infrastructure (well, electricity) we don&#039;t expect to be hiring any other employees outside of III Arms in the immediate future.
There are many of you who would move now if there was any possible way to support yourself, even if it was just to work for room and board. I know how you feel because I&#039;m one of those. The reality is that we need III Arms Company fully up and running in a major way before we can take the next step. <b>Unless I win the lottery</b> or a few Liberty oriented millionaires decide to provide initial funding, that is the way we have to go. </blockquote> Win the lottery&mdash;excellent financial strategery! You should go visit them, Dok. I&#039;d wear protection if I were you, though.
Well, fuck. They will not tolerate &quot;gratuitous derision&quot;. Guess that eliminates any Wonketeers.
Probably it was Hungry Hungry Hippos, not Monopoly. Then it just got out of hand.
&quot;Gratuitous derision&quot; is a shootin&#039; offense in the libertardian paradise.
I can see it now: Having &quot;LOSER&quot; on your rack, and waiting patiently for a second &quot;O&quot;.
WIN!
No alcohol involved just the stupid.
What was the board game? It wasn&rsquo;t Battleship Stratego was it? Those games can be pretty tough when they&rsquo;re played with live ammo
ALCOHOL wasn&#039;t involved. Did anyone check for, say, Meth?
I just assumed it was oxy that was involved.
...and that was just for landing on Atlantic Ave.
You sank my battleship! Guaranteed face shot. As it should be.

Silly Wonkette, how can Canada be a state? It&#039;s just a summer camp.
<i>the father-in-law was apparently mishandling his handgun and shot himself in the hand while they were playing a board game</i>
I must have an outdated version of the game. None of my Community Chest cards mention firearms or a body count.
Yes but they&#039;re not CHEMICUL WEAPONS so it&#039;s okay.
<i>officers say alcohol does not appear to have been involved</i>
Just imagine all the fun and games when alcohol IS finally involved.
