Dept. Of Righteous Shootings

Ho, yuss.  From my area in North Texas comes this pleasing news:

One person is dead and another was taken to the hospital after an attempted robbery Tuesday night in northeast Dallas. The two had tried to rob a pizza delivery driver around 10:30 p.m. in the 8100 block of Southwestern Boulevard, Dallas police said.
The driver was armed and shot both suspects, police said. The driver was not wounded in the incident.
One suspect was 15 years old and the other was 17 years old, according to police records. One of them allegedly tried to run away during the incident but was later found. Officials had not identified the person that was killed as of Wednesday morning. The surviving suspect was arrested on a charge of aggravated robbery.
“After examining the totality of the evidence and interviews, the driver was released,” Dallas police said.

[pause to let the cheers and applause die down]

No doubt, the dead scumbag’s mother will have appeared on local TV proclaiming her grief and describing her  progeny as a choirboy who had his whole life ahead of him and how Krool & Hartless it is that he’s now dead.

Just once, I want to see a parent show up on TV and say, “I told  him all the time that if he did this shit, he’d end up dead one day.  And here we are.  As much as I mourn my loss, he had it coming, and I’m just glad he didn’t kill an innocent person.”

And pigs will fly past my window.

Simple Question

We all know that the eeeevil Black Assault Rifle AR-15 is doubleplusungood because it’s an Implement Of War and Shouldn’t Be In The Hands Of Civilians etc. etc. because it, well, it just looks  scawwwy and stuff.

So this particular Evil Black Rifle should be doubleplusbanned, right?

I mean, here’s the proof and everything that it’s a Weapon Of War etc.:

However (and this is the simple question):  what if the Evil Black Rifle in the first picture is actually chambered not for the death-dealing tumbling-bullet military poodleshooter 5.56mm NATO, but for the little .22 Long Rifle cartridge instead?

Should this gun be BANNNNNED as well, just because it looks so terrifying and stuff?

Enquiring minds want to know.

Asshole Law, Loophole Reaction

Give this man a 2A medal:

Sheriff Scott Jenkins of Culpeper County, Va. proposed a way to exempt citizens from newly proposed Virginia gun laws that might otherwise bar them from owning certain firearms.
In a Wednesday Facebook post, Jenkins warned that some of the gun laws proposed in the Virginia General Assembly would “disarm or handicap our law-abiding in their defense,” and in turn suggested he would confer the label of deputy on thousands of law-abiding citizens to include them in law enforcement carve-outs included in new gun legislation.

For those ignorant of Virginia’s counties, here’s where Culpeper County lies:

In other words, close enough to D.C. that would make a difference.
