Authorities say they have arrested an Arizona woman who traded her 2-year-old daughter for a gun.
Maricopa County sheriff's deputies arrested 33-year-old Tanya Nareau of Mesa on Tuesday after receiving a tip.
Deputies say they spoke with a family friend who had the child and confirmed Nareau gave the girl to him for gun.
Deputies say Nareau felt the friend would do a better job raising the child than she would.
Authorities say Nareau has been charged with the unlawful sale of a child and solicitation to possess a weapon by a prohibited person.
Now, I have as much a sense of humor as the next guy, but this is very serious. There must be a hidden segment of the gun owning public that does this. What percentage do you think it is?
Everybody knows that the "trading baby loophole" is the #1 source of crime guns in America.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for Jadegold to show up and insult me and then reappear as "notJadegold" or just plain ol' anonymous so he can pat himself on the back.
Check the IP adress, you'll see it's all the same person.
"There must be a hidden segment of the gun owning public that does this. What percentage do you think it is?"
ReplyDeleteAbout zero percent.
NotJadeGold is NOT Jade Gold.
ReplyDeleteI know, I am NotJadeGold. I am somebody else.
And he will find you're wrong if he checks the IP address! BTW, the blog shows visitor's IP addresses.
So, you can find you're wrong!

ReplyDeleteYou must say this stuff for pure shock value, because no one could possibly be dumb enough to say something like that and actually mean it, even you.
I cannot speak to how many gunloons trade children or loved ones for firearms.
ReplyDeleteBut kaveman and I both know someone whose preoccupation and obsession with firearms has led to him being unemployed for over a year. Yet, during this unemployment, he spends the vast majority of his time obsessing about guns; time that could be better spent searching for a job or working whatever part-time jobs.
I think most people who find themselves out of work--and trying to support a family--would concentrate on job hunting and bringing a check home, rather than obsessing on a hobby.

ReplyDeleteTechnically you are correct, since 1 person could be considered a segment. It is still the dumbest thing I've read on the internet today, however. Congratulations!

ReplyDeleteReally?
His gun ownership caused the company to shut down and lay off everybody?
You're a riot.

But I would offer that many companies certainly won't prosper if their employees opt to obsess about firearms instead of performing their jobs.

ReplyDeleteImagine if someone told MLK Jr. or Ghandi to go get job instead of obsessing on a hobby.

ReplyDeleteAren't you embarrassed to be so grandiose as to compare out-of-work gun owners to MLK and Ghandi?
"Aren't you embarrassed to be so grandiose as to compare out-of-work gun owners to MLK and Ghandi?"
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's anymore grandiose than the hyperbole the anti-gunners engage in.
At the end of the day, both MLK and Ghandi were nothing more than ordinary men who decided to stand up for what they believed in.

So in other words, Jadey, you have exactly nothing on which to base your assertion that the loss of his job bore any relation to his interest in guns. By your "argument," if a company shuts down, and one of the employees is a passionate advocate for even more draconian gun laws in the U.S., his subsequent unemployment would be his fault.
