My God...just when you think you've heard everything, some miscreant shows you just how INCREDIBLY wrong you are.

 For those of you who haven't heard the story, let's give you a minute or two to catch up.

 Not only are these not-quite-teenagers attempting to KIDNAP someone over a dispute concerning stereo speakers, but THEN the guy puts the pistol back in his pants and blows his nuts off! Not just ONE misfire, but TWO!

 WOW.

How did this moron get a gun in the first place? I'll tell you how....you have to have CONTROL in order to responsibly allow people to wield firearms. It's somewhat implied in the phrase Gun Control.

I'm never one to say do away with guns entirely. How could we possibly get rid of first-rate assholes like this? The simple fact of the matter is Gun Control does a great job of keeping the guns out of the hands of people who use the legal, legitimate channels.

Guess what?! Criminals don't use LEGAL CHANNELS! I can almost guarantee you this lugnut DIDN'T HAVE A PERMIT for the pistol that blew his gonads through the back of his pants.

We don't need new laws that place more restrictions on people who purchase firearms....we NEED police and the FBI and the ATF taking these weapons off the streets! Get rid of the weapons; there is no need for a person to carry around a .45 Desert Eagle. Self-defense? Bullshit! Get the illegal weapons off the street and there won't be a need for hand-cannons as a method of "self-defense".

 An amusing quote from the Wichita Business Journal this week: "Any businesses that plan to prohibit concealed handguns in their buildings will have to display specific signs, Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline said Tuesday."

How..? What?.....WHAT? Again, this law doesn't necessarily affect the legal use of guns. Anyone following the law will have the appropriate training, licensing, etc. Those who aren't OBEYING the law won't care if they have the LEGAL right to carry a concealed weapon or not.

The PROBLEM is there is no need for it. Put more restrictions on gun MAKERS, limit or even eliminate the guns that get out onto the street and you won't NEED to carry a berretta in your coat pocket!

Am I the only one who sees this logic?
