[Jamie Gilt, gun [del]nut[/del] advocate, was very proud that her 4-year old toddler shared her love of guns](http://jacksonville.com/news/metro/2016-08-17/story/jamie-gilt-gun-advocate-shot-her-4-year-old-son-remains-infamous-six). On the way to one practice shoot, he allegedly drew on his mother and shot her in the back. The gun grabbers were using this incident to inflate their scare story about the hundreds of gun injuries inflicted by toddlers. However it now appears the kid wasn’t even the shooter! [QUOTE=Interview of Lane Gilt by child protective services] He [related] that it was Tyrannosaurus Rex that shot Jamie Gilt and had help from a Velociraptor. He was adamant, according to a recently obtained case file on the shooting of Jamie Gilt, that he wasn’t in the truck with the dinosaurs and his mother, a run-rights[sic] advocate from Jacksonville, on that fateful day. [/QUOTE] Let’s see if the libtard gun grabbers are honest enough to subtract 1 from their inflated toddler shooting stat and give this one to Tyrannosaurus Rex. ---

I won’t rest until Velociraptor is charged as an accomplice. Those fuckers get away with everything. ---

[The gun industry haz a sad](http://time.com/money/4565146/donald-trump-gun-sales/) over the election. > [@](#): > > Now things are likely to be different, since people not expecting gun control legislation from a Republican president and Congress don’t have an imperative to rush out and buy guns. While Trump touted his endorsement from the National Rifle Association frequently on the campaign trail, he’s not doing gunmakers any favors by winning the election. While industries like construction, biotech and private prisons saw their stocks rise on Wednesday, companies like Smith & Wesson and Sturm Ruger & Co. fell sharply, dropping by 15% and 16%, respectively. Maybe the \*next \*Democratic president will come grab the guns you are forced to buy to defend yourselves from him grabbing them, right, guys? 😉 ---

Every time you get on the freeway or walk along a busy street, you are \*absolutely \* trusting every driver on that freeway or street with power over your life. Guns are not some unique magical wand. No doubt, guns can be dangerous and ought to be regulated to make sure they stay out of criminal hands. But your ideas are generally retarded. ---

Five dead, eight wounded. And the shooter was taken down, uninjured. Maybe that had something to do with his being, well, named Esteban Santiago and not something like Tyrone Jackson?
