#4 Is that 5:13, or 18:13, because a loser attention whore drunkard betting his reputation on accuracy needs to be quite a bit more sober on his recollection. Say, one paragraph lamenting his obligation of a journalist supporting something he has no belief in, and not more than two periods later stating how excited he would be to fire his new AR-15 assault bazooka with collapsible bayonet grenade lug.

Would-be terrorists can buy guns. Insane people can buy guns. But reporters . . . that's a different story.

*snort* maybe he should re-read that. Not even close to our Hemingway.

#8 He lost me pretty early on. Did he ever get to the part where he actually shoots a gun?

#9 Good job blogs are a form of "Jo(u)rnalist" control

I wonder if they should have their previous convictions stated at the top of every article?

They don't sell guns to alcoholic wife beaters, and so informed his editors. But he has shot guns before and, given that he has a Firearm Owmers ID card, may actually own one or more. Had they sold him the gun, the story might well have been how easily an alcoholic wife beater, who hadn't actually been convicted, could legally buy a weapon.

#11 "Des Plaines on Wednesday to purchase my first assault rifle"

No you didn't. The way I understand it an Assault rifle is a fully automatic military weapon. YOu might have bought an assault weapon which is just a rifle that looks scary and was given a scary name.

#12 He should probably stick to "assault" gin.

The young lady pictured doesn't seem intimidated in the least (prolly "child abuse" /sarc):
