Filthy Hippies Have Guns. Who Knew?

Apparently not a Florida Man who decided to use his car as a battering ram against a Prius.

Oopsie.

There was an episode of "Family Ties" where Steven Keaton contemplated getting a single handgun to protect his family.
He then changed his name to Burt Gummer, and became the Ash of the "Tremors" franchise.
That's canon.

Shenanigans! You can't shoot a gun from a prius without flipping that shit.

RIP Burt, you were the best thing about Tremors. I like Bacon too, but Gummer was much more fun.

"Legislative Affairs Director for the State Board of Administration" sounds like a totally made up job for a made up employer. like "Enterprise director of the National Association of Organizations and Institvtions."

Using a v instead of a u makes it look old.

anyone from gunforge wanna comment on how this was (at least) the second time this guy had pulled a gun during a road rage incident?

or did he prevent someone's granny from being spit roasted during a home invasion so it's all cool?

Anyone convicted of assaulting someone by pulling a gun on them shouldn't be allowed to possess a gun. I don't care if it's just a misdemeanor.

Though I totally agree that should be the case, it isn't. Of course, the T-boning of someone who was not fleeing the scene while waiting for the cops seems a bit extreme. My thought is there is something more there.

Lies. I know at least one Prius owner who would be offended at being called a hippie.

You're right.

"Smug bourgeois asshole" would be more appropriate.

Prius owners... the only drivers more likely to be aggrieved than suburbanites with SUVs

And nobody gets to impose on me for a goddamn thing on this subject until people like this are being locked up forever on the first offense.

And who tend to drive as if they're in a Ferrari.

I don't know about "forever", but definitely when guns are used in a crime or attempted crime, they definitely need to have serious consequences. I've been arguing this stance for at least 20 years. and those guns then should be immediately scrapped. Any gun involved in a crime that finds its way back onto the streets - the entire police department needs immediate investigation and those responsible need the same serious consequences.

according to the article, this was the second time he'd pulled a gun in a road rage incident.
at least that the cops knew about...

but isn't the whole point of an armed society that he who draws first is right?

No.

Yes, UA has to win.
His killer is always the bad guy.

Yes, we're well aware of your entitlement issues.

Ana actual documented case of violence on Jan 6.
Wow!

I think the fact that SHERPLE doesn't see having one's head smacked with a fire extinguisher as violence goes a long way to explaining his intellectual problems.

What kind of diseased mind confuses that with entitlement?

It depends. Do you ignore laws that you feel are impositions on you?

It's a good question.

I do.

I do, in fact.

No, that is not a foot in the door for the bad faith idiocy that insists I ignore traffic laws as a superficial display of consistency for the sake of itself. The point is that I retain that discretion, not that I stomp around like a huffy teenager, refusing everything just because.

So, huffy teenager is just your kayfabe.
Man, you commit to that shit better than Andy Kaufman.

This is a great thread. Any follow-up on the perp?

No I can't be arsed to Google it. Do my bidding minions. Without compensation.

I think UA should do it and be put on a guilt trip if doesn’t.

well aren't you jsut special and smarter than everybody else.

and hey, it doesn't matter if it's only you doing it, right?

you alluded to traffic laws... so, annoyingly placed stop signs you blow through? speed limits are suggestions? give us an example of laws mr "hang all the criminals" feels his discretion puts him above?

Does it make you feel clever to knowingly portray the opposite of my my intended meaning every time? The part you clipped out explicitly mentioned traffic lights, for fuck's sake.

No, I'm not going to do something to place anyone in danger just to show what a rebel I am.
