Seriously. I can only assume you are mentally challenged at this point. The fact that you are focusing solely on the deliciousness of swine, especially in response to, “the pig isn’t the issue,” is truly mind-numbing. Why even post here? Go have a retarded conversation with yourself if you don’t want to pay attention to the conversation. Every second you post here is a second taken away from rubbing your guns on your balls, you know.

I don’t know why, but every time I see feral pig, I mistakenly think federal pig. That is all. ---

Good thing he had that gun handy to defend himself when he blew his top! Thats not stupid gun news, its just tragic.

So lets look at that example you gave of one cop shooting his partner. I can’t think of any regulations that would prevent that. So what’s your suggestion? ---

> [@Damuri\_Ajashi](#): > > Apparently all gun accidents are stupid gun news. Any horrific crime committed with a firearm is stupid gun news too. You know, you’re right - some of my examples were not good ones of “stupid gun news”. They were more appropriately “regular ordinary run-of-the-mill gun news that happens all the time” Which is, if anything more tragic if you think about it. ---
