This is what happens to gun nuts

Another gun fruitcake.​

​

71 year old road rage suspect had 40 guns, inc machine gun, and 10,000 rounds of ammunition​

San Jose police officers found 40 guns and 10,000 rounds of ammunition in a man’s home as part of a search warrant related to a road rage incident, officials said in a Thursday news release.


Michael Myers, 71, was arrested April 28 on suspicion of firing a gun during a road rage event near the intersection of Quimby Road and Remington Way on April 13, the San Jose Police Department said.

Officers responded to the incident around 9:30 a.m., and Myers fled the scene, police said. The department said it conducted a follow-up investigation after identifying Myers as the suspect.

SJPD said it obtained a search warrant for Myers’ home and a warrant for his arrest. The department subsequently found Myers and arrested him without incident. Recruit officers of the department also served Myers with an emergency gun violence restraining order, which prevents him from owning a gun, SJPD said.

In Myers’ home, officers found a large number of weapons:

21 semi-automatic and bolt-action rifles
16 handguns, three of which were privately made firearms (ghost guns)
Two shotguns
One full-auto submachine gun
10,000 rounds of ammunition

Since Florida and other states are going to allow permittless carry, I would expect an increase with GGWG on GGWG shoot outs.

I SOOOO wish every drag queen in Florida walks into their nearest gun shop and... shoots videos of the reactions.

That poor child (though, she is now in her late 20s) has to carry that for her entire life. I hope she received intense counseling.

The reaction might be that the gun shop regulars feel threatened and resort to "stand your ground" with their unlicensed concealed carry guns. Although I think most gun shops don't allow loaded guns to come in...sort of like the NRA events, state legislatures and crap, I can't even bring a fingernail clipper into the Jax city hall.

That's intense

That's intense

Indeed.

I’d never heard of this before (not being in ‘Murca). So - I looked it up. The Wikipedia article tells me that in response, several lawmakers proposed raising the age for children to be able to handle fully automatic guns (like the Uzi machine gun that the little 9 year old girl lost control of at the firing range) to 16. That proposal has never received traction. What a weird fucking place.

People in homes with handguns more likely to be shot dead, major study finds​

...

In particular, the researchers found, people who lived with handgun owners had a much higher rate of being fatally shot by a spouse or intimate partner. The vast majority of such victims, 84%, were women, they said.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/apr/06/california-gun-law-sacramento-shooting
Living with a handgun owner particularly increased the risk of being shot to death in a domestic violence incident, and it did not provide any protection against being killed at home by a stranger, the researchers found.

 

[Gouvernail]

Ooooh!!! Facts!!! Why I bet reading that will change the mind of every NRA member to whom it is shown.

Obviously, women need to buy more guns.

You have made the transition to Florida living well grasshopper. Now, get sailing to the Keys!

Obviously, women need to buy more guns.

But the most popular answer in Florida/Texas Family Feud is: “Women shouldn’t do the things that upset men in the first place.”

Makes sense...

Actually, I thought the gun nuts’ argument to arm literally everybody, kindergarten teachers, priests, doctors, taxi drivers, McDonalds cashiers, etc etc etc etc was supposed to closely follow that of M.A.D. from the Cold War nuclear arms race era - Mutually Assured Destruction. If we’re all armed, no one dare shoot anyone else for fear of getting annihilated.

Unfortunately for them, it’s a completely fucked up line of reasoning.

The problem with the MAD theory as applied to arming teachers and stuff (which I personally think is a HORRIBLE idea) is that MAD relies on both sides to use logic and reasoning for deterrence to work.

Unfortunately, the very people that teachers would need to arm themselves against are the exact opposite of reasonable and rational. In fact a lot of these shitheads would relish the thought of going out in a blaze of glory in an epic gun battle.

Fortify the schools so the shitbags can't get in. Don't go out of your way to make it the OK Corral.

Procrustes lives on.

Or you could cut way down on the number of guns - like every civilized country in the world.

Naaahhh - too obvious, simple and effective.

Not to mention commie and lefty.

The problem with the MAD theory as applied to arming teachers and stuff (which I personally think is a HORRIBLE idea)

NOT just "arm teachers and staff".

(1) would require a deep background check to filter out some of the FREAKS that are in the schools these days.

(2) extensive SWAT training and coordination with local LEO.

Fortify the schools so the shitbags can't get in. Don't go out of your way to make it the OK Corral.

One of the FEW bits of Covenent shooters manifesto that did come out,

, was that another initial target school was rejected because their security was too good.

Fact Check Team: Why the Covenant School shooter's manifesto has not been released

A Tennessee judge is deciding whether or not the Covenant School shooter's manifesto should be released – the Fact Check Team looks into the arguments.

" There are studies that show media coverage on these mass killings do have a contagion or copycat effect. "

, and we have talked before about media hyping this kind of stuff,

They get LOTS of clicks (spells money)
