How is such a thing even possible? What kind of bumbling idiot could do such a thing?

    Dick Cheney?

    Since we don't know (and probably never will) what really happened we'll just have to chalk it up to "shit happens", the catch all for when bad things happen to good gunzloonz.

    1. Hello

      Would you mind clarifying the term gunloonz for me? I'm unclear if you apply that term to anyone who owns a firearm or if you mean to apply it to the pro-gun activists.

      Thank you.

    2. I don't use the word myself, but when I read it I think of the gun-rights activists.

  2. Gunsucks are idiots. That's all you can say.

  3. Do you expect no accidents (negligence) out of a group 100 million in numbers?

  4. Oh, Greggie, sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

    "Would you mind clarifying the term gunloonz for me? I'm unclear if you apply that term to anyone who owns a firearm or if you mean to apply it to the pro-gun activists."

    You're unclear on a lot of shit, pal. There's no reason that you should be unclear on what I mean when I speak of "gunzloonz", as I ONLY use the term when I'm talking about monomaniacalmoronz like you and the the rest of the Type 2A's.

    I know a lot of people who own firearms and about 90% of them (a rough estimate to be sure) are perfectly decent people who hunt, shoot targets, have family heirlooms or have jobs that require they be armed while on duty. They don't bother me.

    The firearms owners that bother me (the gunzloonz) are the ones whose lives are empty enough that they think spending time explaining how they would "deal" with teh perps if they'd been in the theater in Aurora, the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin, VA Tech or at the Montreal Massacere is a wise use of time.

    Gunzloonz are the ones who would buy a fully automatic weapon for the sheer thrill of holding it and firing hundreds of rounds per minute.

    The ones who say that the distinction between

    A.) "semi-auto" and "fully automatic"
    B.) clip and magazine
    C.) assault rifle/weapon and some other descriptor of an AR-15, SKS, AK-47 or other weapon whose design dictates that it is to be used, originally and primarily as a weapon to kill people and has a capability to BE fully automatic with a minimum of modification*

    such that if someone uses the wrong term in a general news story or on a blog, their credibility is zero.

    The ones who insist that their freedom to fetishize teh gunz is more important than the safety and peace of mind of the rest of the people on the planet.

    The ones who like to play dress-up in their “shootist” gear and reminisce about the “Good Ol’ Days” when you could shoot somebody for a perceived slight or insult.

    The list of gunzloonz traits I've just provided is hardly exhaustive, nor does it mean that anyone who exhibits a fascination with the manufacture design and use of weapons is a gunzloon. I LOVE gunz, I just don’t need any. I like the way they work and I like that some of them are very, very well made for their intended purpose. But I don’t have to own any or carry one around to remind myself that I’m a MAN.

    So, in sum, bub, you're a gunzloon, along with about six other regular commenters here and a too large %age of firearms owners. Got that, dead-eye? I certainly hope so; the next time that you tell me that you don’t know to whom I’m referring when I talk about gunzloonz, I’ll add that to your tally of idiotic LIES.
