I know it’s too easy … but … which one was the good guy with the gun?

Well, it is easier for the police when there’s only one version of what happened. Memo to file: make sure the cops only hear one version.

We will continue to see this kind of thing on a daily basis - It’s just that this time it was “responsible gun owners” who were the victims instead of innocents in a store or school.

“the customers came to pick up a gun and got angry because there was a $25 service charge even though the gun had not been fixed.”

Are you sure? Because somebody’s gun was clearly working.

Presumably, the one that’s still breathing.

Did someone offend you? Over-charged 38 cents on a bill? You didn’t like the way she smiled at you? Did a kid come into you yard to retrieve a ball? Shoot first. Always shoot first. 'Cause this 'Merica and we’re fricken exceptional!

Good-let these “responsible” gun owners take each other out! I do have sympathy for all the paramedics and deputies that have to respond to these situations.

2 lives for friggin’ $25.

When will they ever learn that Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness are the Inalienable Rights-- and those were just snuffed out for $12.50 each.

It’s just pathetic.

And every Christian-claiming person who stands on their 2nd Amendment above all else isn’t Christian.

Don’t forget a few bucks for ammo too.

“During this argument, we believe there might have been some pushing and shoving,”

and in another time and place it wouldn’t have inevitably led to a shooting, maybe just a black eye.

One of the more corrosive effects of the policies the NRA and its handmaidens espouse is this seemingly increasing use of guns to solve conflicts. In our current culture of instantaneous gratification and lack of attention span combined with Stand your Ground laws, we have a toxic brew where the use of violence has become mind-numbingly normal. I hope we can return to the days where people would deescalate by counting to ten or by just yelling and screaming at each other or even by calling the authorities.

Is this the spilling of blood that needs to be done periodically?

They were in Hawaii by the pool looking for Obama’s birth certificate and could not believe what they were finding. It may take a couple more years to sort it all out…another mai tai over here!

Obviously, this story can’t be true, because when everyone is heavily armed, everyone is polite.
