#6 Yeah, they did. Some bowl of diced water like, "The NRA lobby obtrusted the Congress so, nobody could get their real job done - pertectn' 'Mericans. And who better to do that job? A proper Sturgean Generrr-al. Perhaps two, Harold and Kumar." or some such jelly taco. It is that host for the four letter news show --bc host Krystol Nacht and some shameless wannabe hack.
(H/T weaselzipper who cites newsbusters)

Keep in mind that the prime candidate attempts to link the medical field into gun confiscation via your health and how you answer your practicioners' questions, eventually down to the doorman if you don't tip properly.

Gun grabbing seems to be among the first priorities of authorities responding to declared emergencies.

And of course, the potential for mass panic from a zomeboli outbreak.

-Also-

Jihadis call open season of families, and I'd go ahead and throw in friends, of service members. I think the next few steps are to send a copy of the crayon to targeted city mayors and leave about odd warnings to police and fire. I think it is more throwing rocks at a bull than anything, but the current crops are like that, and that system worked in Mosul where they had databases and license plate numbers. Can't happen here? Is happening, like the gay slayer and the Moore beheader who may not have planned on when to do what he did, but had his plan for when that time came. Reports say other employees were attempting to interfere with the beheading of employee 1 and employee 2 when a-hole was shot in middle of it all.

Other than 1/3 of the attendents of the police report were people chanting crayon phrases and wanna-bes stating their alligience and threatening beheading of co-workers, all I can add is the local range duudes were out the Sunday afternoon after the beheading - sounded like a crew of carpenters framing a barn.

Loads.

#5 Or that the GOP has linked it to the tea party.

#4 I'm surprised the left has not linked ebola to the NRA and gun owners.

#2 Uberti 1875 pistol Chambered in .45-70 Government? Yes, obviously a typo, but please don't give any of these people in Georgia such ideas.

#1 Sir, I think that might be chambered in 45 Long Colt not 45-70 Government.
