The Shoulder Thing That Goes Upa tumblelog

Why is this worthy of a post on the Shoulder Thing?

Burke wrote in his report that he feared that Greenfield could have been holding a dangerous object such as a “cell-phone gun.”

What an absolute load of shite.

Yeah, cell-phone guns are available at swap meets, gun shows and in every corner drugstore.

Somewhere, a doughnut shop is missing its ___hole.

SWISSVALE, Pa. — A North Braddock man is behind bars after police said he robbed a Swissvale bank wearing a blond wig, fake breasts and clown pants.

He used a BB gun.

Hey, it could have a shoulder thing.

An official photographer was shot dead at an Italian wedding while the bride and groom were posing for pictures with a gun.

Apparently they aren’t aware of Jeff Cooper’s Four Rules of Gun Safety.

Such a needless tragedy.

The annual effort is known as Project Isaiah. The stash of weapons taken from criminals will be dumped from a series of tractor-trailers into the smelter at the Tamco Steel Mill, said Deputy Bill Brauberger, who described the event as a celebration for the Sheriff’s Department.

“It’s pretty exciting and very visual,” said Brauberger, who attended the event last year.

A celebration? Pretty exciting?

I wonder if they would say that about book burnings.

Yang Youde, a 56-year old farmer, was told his land was needed to build new offices.

The developers offered him compensation but he did not think it was enough.

The case highlights the efforts some Chinese are taking to preserve their property rights in the face of forced relocation by government officials.

Mr Youde built a watchtower. When demolition teams arrived, he fired home made rockets towards them, repelling them twice.

He should have let the courts decide. Maybe the U.S. Supreme Court. They have a lot of respect for private property rights.

Police believe the animal stood on the trigger of a .22 bolt-action rifle in a freak accident.

The dog’s 40-year-old owner was getting into the rear seat of a four-wheel drive vehicle with the rifle next to him when the animal jumped in.

How could this happen?

The group told police they had thought the gun, which in fact contained five shells, was unloaded.

Ah, failure to observe Rule 1.
