Man Shoots His Wife’s Dog

Steven Jon Colegrove, 36, of Wausau, WI, got into an argument with his wife last night.  His wife called the police; Steven was arrested and posted bail.  He returned to his house, and from there he sent a text to his wife that said, “I shot your dog.”  Police arrived, again, to find the dog in the bathtub, shot in the hind quarter.  Steven was arrested, again.

In the United States, people like Steven have a legal right to own a gun.  That’s so absurd it’s almost funny.

A 14-year-old is not allowed to carry a gun.  So in this nation that promotes armed resistance, we, by law, put a very large portion of our citizenry in harms way.

How’s that for morality?

Gun Nut Shoots Dead Wrong Man?

A gun nut in Mt. Pleasant, MI, walked into a restaurant last night and shot a patron four times in the chest with a Glock 357 while the victim sat in a booth.  Police say it may have been a case of mistaken identity.  While fleeing from police, the shooter crashed his car, and then killed himself with a self-inflicted gunshot.  Inside the car were found the Glock handgun, an SKS assault rifle with two fully loaded, high-capacity magazines, and a bullet-proof vest.

Gun nut.

Feel safer now?
