You may recall that Vice President Joe Biden’s Being Biden blog recently featured a letter from a third grader who expressed his wish that guns should fire chocolate bullets. Using scrawl that validates the theory that the Vice President is well along the path to senile dementia—and I’m only saying that because it’s true—Joe Biden replied that the chocolate ammo concept would make the world safer and people happier.
I immediately contacted YouTube’s taofledermaus and urged him to put the idea to the test. To be fair, so did about a billion other people. Not that taofledermaus needed much motivation on the will it blend what weird sh*t can I shoot front.
And so here it is: chocolate ammo fired from a shotgun. What does this prove? That Cadbury’s Fruit and Nut is by far the best chocolate bar in the known universe. Obviously.
The chocolate slug = one shot diabetes.
My paperwork was put through on March 22nd (apprx 63 days ago) and I have still not received my glock yet…smdh.
Because it’s only okay to assassinate of character of Zimmerman, right?
“The evidence [against Mr. Zimmerman] that will be admitted at trial is the legally documented history…”
Wait, didn’t he just not pose an opinion on the contrary when referencing Mr. Martin?
“The only photos or videos that are relevant or admissible at trial are those of Trayvon taken the day he was shot and killed by George Zimmerman.”
Yup, just as I thought.
You can’t choose to dismiss ones history while pursuing to highlight the other.
I’m buying a gladius now.
It might be a matter of personal preference, but I don’t think I would mind if TTAG stopped posting about Zimmerman and Martin until a jury decides the case. All of these speculative posts seem to really bring out the trolling on all sides.
So let me summarize the crux of 80% of the posts:
MARTIN WAS A THUG! HE DESERVED TO DIE WITH HIS SKITTLES AND ICE TEA! YOU KNOW HOW ‘THOSE PEOPLE’ ARE!
…or…
ZIMMERMAN IS AN AGGRESSIVE, TRIGGER-HAPPY NUTJOB! HE ASSAULTED A COP AND MURDERED MARTIN! YOU KNOW HOW ‘THOSE GUYS’ ARE!
Move along, TTAG. Nothing to see here. because I doubt the “real truth” will ever come out.
And this is what you have to do to charge the bolt.
Flyyyy in-to the danger zone!
Slave State is provocative and gets a conversation started (maybe heated?).
I think more of Jim Crow. I grew up in Mississippi where guns laws were Jim Crow until the late 90s, when CCW came in. There were no permits when I lived in MS. You could use certain things in your defense: More than 50 miles from home and not a vagrant. Carrying a large sum of money ($2500 I think – more than I ever had). You had a recorded threat against your life. So the assumption was that you were in the wrong unless you could prove different. Usually this meant they let you keep your gun if they liked you and took your gun if they didn’t. They could also prosecute if they desired. Most guns laws were enacted to keep the “undesirable” population in line. In the south it was mostly blacks but you can insert any ethnic or social minority and see most gun laws in the US.
I like the fact there are many young gun owners that only own a Glock or other defensive pistol or rifle. In the last year, I have met 8 newbies who bought guns because they saw an attempt to limit ownership. Three said they tried to keep it quite because they didn’t want everyone to know they had one.
As someone who has been shooting for 45 years, it is my duty to understand why these new folks own firearms. It is also my duty to introduce new shooters to the sheer fun of plinking with 22 to increase skill and recreate. Many of the new shooters I have met have never fired a 22.
My local gun dealer told me that he figured about 15% of gun purchases at their store are new owners. The sell about 120 guns a week in the last year. The number of gun owners is increasing and we need to make sure they are welcome and responsible. Keep preaching – some of the choir hasn’t heard it yet.
One problem with this study: no control scenario. One scenario should have required NO armed response on the part of a teacher or guard.
Wow,Freakin Wow.A bunch of Urbanites trying to figure out that being a dog owner and treating a dog like a wild animal will some how blend.Oh by the way,screw NJ.
