I had a '55 Chevy when I was fifteen and I painted it red cause I was still green. Hell, I couldn't even afford to buy it gas

I had a .410 rifle and a Bowie knife too, Red Man tobacco that I liked to chew; and we'd count the cars when the trains went past... if that ain't country I'll kiss your ass

Define assault rifle? It's like saying ban sports bikes to make roads safer.

I'm sure if heads were put together they'd figure it out. Canada did and they seem to be a bit on the slow side, as a rule. ;)


And sports bikes have a beneficial purpose, that of transporting people from one place to another, albeit with the potential to break several laws, but no more than a CG125 could, just with more noise and at a quicker pace. Assault weapons (legal definition TBC) seem to have once purpose, which is to kill or main as many people as possible in as little time as possible.They do, of course, have a secondary purpose, that being to make the owner feel less socially and sexually inadequate.

Anyone else notice that the cop that shot him sounded just like Marge Gunderson?

Probably won't hear too much about it. The ethnicity of the offenders does not fit the media narrative.
The Mail, Mirror, Metro, Independent, Sun, Reuters and a shitload of US media outlets all reported on it.

They're for killing the 30 to 50 feral hogs that invade your property on a regular basis.
