Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 2)

My take as well.

At the very least, maybe we could see fewer news reports fulminating about sEmi AUtoMaTic HaNDgunS!, as though that category only applies to a special minority of dangerous weapons.

It helps to know just what it is that you want to restrict.

I’ve got a CZ452. Nice, affordable, sturdy, and .22LR makes plinking and volume training affordable. I really like that gun.

The trigger pull of the CZ sucks donkey balls, though. I’d love to get my hands on a Sako .22, but they don’t grow on trees (to put it mildly)

I’m sure that all of this firearms-related discussion is fascinating but is it relevant?

Most probably not, but since we’re in the Pit the TOS allows us to go OT

“Allow” is not a synonym for “encourage”.

Well, we on the right side of the pond are getting pretty exhausted by your Prez. So we try to think of - and talk about- something else. And since guns - at least when used sensibly - are fun, I’d rather think and talk about that than about your Prez. Or anything else insane over at your place.

The funny thing is guns are one of the most long lasting insane things about the USA.

And I live here & used to own & carry a bunch of 'em.

And yes, most of us here on the left side of the pond are also pretty well exhausted by our prez too.

An arsonist in Corona, CA lit a car on fire. He also set himself on fire. Apparently he didn’t realise how volatile gasoline is.

I’m sorry. I laughed!

Stop, drop and roll, buddy!

It’s not that unusual for careless arsonists to get burned by the fires they set. There was a Forensic Files episode about a guy who murdered two women and set a fire in their apartment to try to eliminate evidence. The flash of combustion hit him in the face and caused his glasses to fall off. They were recovered as evidence and used to track him down.

Appropriately, this is The BBQ Pit. :fire:

That was Bob Wick, John’s less successful brother.

Now, that made me laugh.

That sets up another category of dumb.

Bob probably killed his own dog.

Coulda been worse. Might’ve been John’s idiot cousin Cotton. :wink:

It was halfway through the film Wicked that I realized it wasn’t part of the John Wick universe.

I hear his niece Candle is hot.

That was the name of an old flame of mine.

Ten Congressional Democrats voted to censure Al Green for not showing “proper decorum” in the presence of a traitorous fascist.

If one of these is yours, please primary them.
