South Carolina Man Shoots Cousin He Warned Not To Eat His Potato Chips

[Phokus]

Look, if the cousin didn't want to be shot, he should have been armed himself, as recommended by Jesus himself.

Whispering denotes... a rather raw insanity. Where as I believe a common misuse is more sugar coated by emotional outburst. People get angry and do stupid things. Like a toddler throwing a tantrum. Only this toddler is 6' tall, and can pull a trigger to "end" their problem. Guns make it too easy for the average Joe to do something stupid, and permanent. Would he have wanted / found another way? Maybe. But pulling a trigger is so damn easy.

This is the exact truth. I'm as anti-gun as anyone I've heard of. I don't think anyone should be allowed to "own" a gun. I think you should not be permitted to possess them, owned or not. Certain licensed and vetted persons should be trained and have access to guns for specific instance purposes. That's my position. I could elaborate but I think the nature of what I'm advocating is implicit in what I've said here.

Blockheads will counter if you make guns illegal only criminals will have the guns. Well then just let them try to do anything with them and stay out of prison, I say. If it's illegal for them to possess them even showing off their treasure could make them felons. You'd soon enough find that gun violence would disappear like smoke in the wind.

Ryan Langdale, 19, of Colleton County, turned himself into deputies on Wednesday.


Ooh a shape-shifter he is.

What he is is proof that Americans aren't mature enough to own guns, as if we needed more evidence. However, as evidence goes, this is pretty good. Do not touch my potato chips.

Or maybe a well to do businessman in Nevada with a gun fetish who can't help himself and develops fantasies of shooting into a large crowd of people... people he knows nothing about except, maybe, that they like country music. He indulges those fantasies, 59 dead, many families shattered.

Same thing. Of course, I'd say that, I try to always say please and thank you whenever I can. Even if I demure.

Same thing maybe according to a dictionary, but between you and me, when I deal with people who shoot people for eating their chips, I don't want to come off sounding like a French pussy. Hell, I wanted to punch you in the nose myself. Not your fault, I guess. Berkeley and all, you probably got some education.

Maybe you misinterpreted what I said. I was being flippant 100% when I said I'd demure if offered salted pickled potato chips. You didn't get that? Almost all of the posts in this thread are likewise facetious.

You take that back, or I'll shoot you.

I don't understand the connection.

Man I was fully expecting to read the OP listening to banjos.

People are gun crazy.
A lot of people are already crazy, then add a gun and what would you expect to happen?
My problem, that these republican congress members in Washington are so protected and secured that THEY never need worry about the violence of guns in the hands of the crazed.
If even one of these crazed gun toters made their way into the halls of congress, or onto the floor of congress and used that gun you'd see gun control passed the very next day.

Well, maybe it would take more than just one instance of a crazed nutcase with a gun running amuck in congress, but eventually the violence of guns would hit home.
And a shocked congress would pass strict gun laws.
Probably strict anti-gun laws that only apply TO THEM.

Oh, I guess I might have picked up on that but I didn't. Rereading it I can see it though. Sorry, this isn't funny. Well, this thread deserves some seriousness, alas.

Actually, no laws would be passed if a member was shot in the halls. Some of them would be carrying from that day forward, though, but you'd never know. Deep down they don't care about anyone but themselves.

Personally, I don't ever see gun control passing. Who is doing all the killing with guns. It's right wing nut cases, If I belonged to a cult full of psychopaths or lived in cult territory, I'd want to be armed too and I'd shit bricks if anybody tried to take my guns away. When you have an addled amygdala like I have, fondling a gun is much more soothing than lithium.

I notice pretty much no one read the actual article based on the "well don't take his chips" idiotic responses. The person that got shot claims they didn't take the chips.

Pretty sure guns aren't allowed there and they're really goddamned strict about weapons near government facilities. I don't think even Senators are allowed to carry in many parts of Capitol Hill (if they were, pretty damned sure we'd have seen one of these right wing psychos shoot someone by now, like how one of them did back prior to the Civil War). Wonder why...

This is what I call a responsible gun owner, cleaning up their own gene pool.

Potato chips aren't good for you. Maybe he can get off with the Twinkie defense. It worked for Dan White.

 

[BoomerD]

I never reaalized...has anyone seen Highland lately?

 

[Lanyap]

This movie came to mind when I read that, not chips but close enough.

Men At Work Don't Touch Another Man's Fries

As long as they are not rooster fries.

Well, guess they'd check them at the door. So, the hypothesis that killing a congressional member in the halls is pretty unlikely as well, for the same reason, it's hard to get a gun into Congress. But you could probably get Twinkies into Congress.

They're kinda extra-whacked-out, but the rhetoric is all too familiar-

"You must shed the slave mentality and adopt the royal mentality. ... The Democratic Party has become the Communist Party funded by Nazi collaborator George Soros. ... The fake ministers and fake priests are pushing a dictator-Christ." He took potshots at some favorite targets: Hillary Clinton ("she was paying for the Russian dossier"), Pope Francis ("a socialist, communist devil") and government that gets too big for its britches. "Jesus never centralized power. Jesus never created government," he said. "The worst killer in all of humanity the last one hundred years is centralized government."
