Who among us has never done such a thing? When I was but a lad, I shot the neighbor kid over a game of Chutes and Ladders, just to watch him die.

Fess up - we’ve all done it.

One can only hope is drunken real gun aim was the same as his fantasy game slurred speech “B-9…C8…D7…E6…F’n5” partially passed out aim.

He is not only batshit crazy, but he is encouraged to buy all the guns he can afford to protect himself.
