“Still got mine!”
There’s a joke in here about the right to bear arms, and the lose of the right arm, and I want to make it, but I’ll leave it up to those cleverer than I am.
2nd amendment purists are exhausting. This man clearly should have no access to weapons or gunpowder. Yet here we are.
He found out.
Dr. Darwin will see you now.
Interesting timeline fuzziness. One report says a witness said the explosion was at about 3pm. The other report says it was about 3.10pm, but neither says whether the police warrant was issued and executed before the explosion, or after it, or whether police were in the process of executing it and were on-site at the time of the explosion.
The dog was the most sensible mammal living in that house.
Whereas I’d have gone for:
After explosion destroys all his weapons, man needs rearming.
He took the 2nd amendment literally and removed his own (arms) to gain those bear ones he’s been reading about.
I’m kind of morbidly curious how he dialed the phone for help…
I dunno, this guy seems pretty 'armless to me.
At least the dog survived.
Do you know what out-of-network xenotransplantation costs, though?
As a constitutional right I assume the costs of the procedure are socialized. Wasn’t that determined in the landmark 1966 case of Brown Bear v. Louisiana?
Yes, there it is. Thank you!
The pun is already a bit threadbear, as the article nowhere says the guy is a 2nd amendment weirdo (it suggests he is a gun dealer for the baddie community)
…or dogs.
