Chicago Woman Shoots Husband by Accident - Lies to Cops

 The Chicago Sun-Times reports

A south suburban woman who claimed she accidentally shot her husband in the face as they were “playing” with a new gun in their kitchen faces felony charges for allegedly originally lying about the incident, according to police.

Desiree Cook called police at 7:42 p.m. Wednesday and said her husband had been shot in the head by someone in the backyard of their home in Calumet City, according to police. Cook told police that her common law husband, Demetrius M. Marshall, staggered back inside after being shot and then collapsed in the kitchen, police said.

Taking advantage of the McDonald decision, this young couple bought a gun for their protection. Then, being completely unfit and incapable of safely exercising that responsibility, the unthinkable happened. Still, all might not have been lost, many women get over the untimely loss of a husband.  But, silly Desiree decided to lie to the cops.

That's the one sure way to end up in jail after shooting someone by accident.

Pro-Gun Folks are Right - Assault Weapons are not the Main Problem

Poor Turnout at Phoenix Pro-Gun Rally

ABC reports with a video in which you'll see the usual disproportionate number of fat white men.

Hundreds of 2nd Amendment supporters rallied for their rights to own pistols, shotguns and rifles. And they weren't afraid to show them off.

It was a warning to government in Washington to keep all hands off of their guns.

After the numerous and tragic mass shootings, new gun control laws are being proposed.

Gun owners here said they don't need them.

"The problem is, when a crazy person goes to get a gun, it's way too late,” said Jacqueline Janes. “They've already gone crazy. They've already got a plan. What we need to do is take it all the way to the mental care."

Shouldn't there have been thousands or tens-of-thousands. The weather is fine, the number of gun owners is high. Why only hundreds? What kind of message is that for the President?

I loved that bumbling attempt to repeat Wayne La Pierre's ridiculous pitch. The problem is the crazy person who goes and gets a gun, when put like that, sounds more like an argument for our side.

Of Rights and Gunloons

So, I'm reading about NRA member Everett Basham who was arrested and charged with 12 felonies in connection with his threats against a California state senator.  NRA member Basham was upset that State Sen. Leland Yee was proposing legislation to tighten up California gun laws.  Remember this: Yee was proposing using a democratic process to possibly change certain gun laws.

NRA member Basham took umbrage and allegedly made specific threats involving assassination unless Yee ceased talking about any gun restrictions.

Gunloons often like to talk about their fetish in terms of rights; often, they will argue their gun fetish is no different than their First Amendment rights.  Of course, gunloons believe the Second Amendment is absolute and the First Amendment is not--especially when gun fetishism is criticized.

Case in point: Basham threatening to kill a California State Senator.  What's interesting is in the comments, our own Greggy Camp writes:

Since one American in three is a gun owner, you'd better stop talking if you're that afraid of us.
Unless you're endangering my life or the life of some other innocent person, I have no interest in doing anything to you. But since you live in constant fear of gun owners, don't you imagine that not taunting them is a good idea?

This is really what gunloons are about.  They could care less about rights, self-defense, tyranny, hunting or sport-shooting.  What they are religiously about is authoritarianism.  That is, they want to command fear which they mistake as respect.  Their fetishism lies in the fact most of them couldn't get respect in any other way.

North Carolina Man Shoots Himself and Makes Up Story

Local news reports

Jon Michael Mauldwin, 21, was charged Wednesday with filing a false report with law enforcement and misuse of the 911 system, according to the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office.

"We spent time looking for a suspect that never existed," said Debbie Tanna, a sheriff's spokeswoman.

Mauldwin called 911 on Sunday and reported that someone shot at him. He said he returned fire, striking the person, Tanna said.

Mauldwin told investigators that the shooter was in a grassy area behind his home, Tanna said. Investigators combed the area and were unable to find shell casings, she said.

One shot penetrated a bulletproof vest Mauldwin was wearing, Tanna said, but investigators determined it was fired by the man's own gun, a .380-caliber pistol.

Mauldwin was released on an unsecured bond, Tanna said.

Wayne La Pierre Marries Long-time Love Interest

The Borowitz Report

In what he called “the happiest day of my life,” National Rifle Association C.E.O. Wayne LaPierre marked Valentine’s Day by marrying his longtime gun, an AK-47 assault rifle. 

Mr. LaPierre grew emotional as he reminisced about meeting the firearm at a gun show in Alabama in 1991. 

“The chemistry between us was amazing,” he said. “Our first weekend together, all we did was shoot.” 

Marriage between a human and a gun is not legal in most states, a situation that Mr. LaPierre bemoans: “For a lot of N.R.A. members it’s the only intimate relationship they’re capable of.” 

The wedding ceremony was attended by twenty-five of Mr. LaPierre’s guns and over two hundred members of Congress.
