major break in the ricin letters to WH and Bloomberg.

[gejohnston]

or The homicidal gun nut that wasn't, media narrative blown addition. it seems that the culprit is neither a gun nut, homicidal, and certainly doesn't look anything like the villains in Deliverance. Instead, it was more like the weirdest divorce movie on Lifetime.

It is very probable her only acts of gun nuttery was shooting blanks in a small part in Walking Dead. BTW, how are they still able to get modern ammo if industrial society collapsed?

1. Yeah, and if this wasn't so bizarre...

the media would be reporting this quietly, if at all.

As for The Walking Dead, I'm guessing they're still finding stockpiles of ammo. I don't watch the show, though, so I don't know how long they've been at this.

2. How long until we see an apology from the "Gun Nuts Want to Poision the President" crowd?

I seem to recall a flurry of posts about how this is just "another example of Gun Nuts at work".

Instead it appears to be a woman, that counted on the media and gun grabber's (but I repeat myself) own stupidity and eagerness to jump to a conclusion, to try and frame her husband.

I'm not gonna hold my breath waiting for a recantation though. It wouldn't be sincere and they'll do the same thing again with the next high profile case they "think" (using the term very lightly) involves guns or the NRA.

At best I expect something stupid, along the lines of; ..."Well, it wasn't a gun nut this time but ..."

3. You asked...

but over estimated the maturity level

4. Yep.

He seems so disappointed that it wasn't what was at first reported, but he just can't bring himself to gracefully admit that he was wrong.

[friendly_iconoclast]

5. That thread should be bookmarked, and referred to when the gun-ban crowd...

...starts blathering about their 'concerns'.

[sarisataka]

7. Evolution of a headline

Gun nut sends poison to Obama, Bloomberg.

Gun nuts are assholes.

Gun nut assholes breathe a sigh of relief...

Gungeoneer-type assholes breathe a sigh of relief...

[friendly_iconoclast]

8. The OP of that should be reminded of this on a regular basis

And just in case it 'goes missing':

10. He's changed it yet again.

I think we're seeing another example of "red-hot DU gun control advocate flames out" in the making...

[DonP]

11. Five edits so far, now it's directed at the entire Gungeon

And his posse of toadies from Castle Bansalot have show up now, to point out that even though he was wrong, continues to lie about it, and gun owners actually had nothing to do with the Ricin letters (beyond one of them marrying a whack job), gun owners are all still all evil poopy heads and we're all obviously right wing plants that want more children dead.

I expect a new flurry of posts in ATA demanding Skinner close the Gungeon.

You just can't do much but point and laugh at that kind of desperation.

[Eleanors38]

12. "...demanding Skinner close the Gungeon" then close gun debate in GD, leaving only BansaLot.

Seems to be the game plan.

6. She was set up by the NRA!

[petronius]

9. It's pretty clear that many people, and even some DUers, either don't understand

or simply choose to deny the immense gulfs that exist between:

1. gun owner, gun-owning Democrat, gun-owning DUer, pro-RKBA Democrat/DUer,or even 'gun nut' on the one hand, and
   
2. ricin-mailing terrorist and/or mass murderer on the other hand.

In this case I'm glad the investigators followed through, and I hope everyone gets the justice (and help) they need/deserve...

[Eleanors38]

13. Didn't you know that gun nuts are linked to...

The Boston bombings,
Ricin-mailing terrorists,
Pit bulls rampaging through Olive Garden,
Climate change,
Babies filling their diapers,
Kittehs grabbing your ass as you dress in the morning,
The guy down the bar who just let a Rankenstein,
The seven-day wait for a bowl of Pho,
My damned van's "Code 42" engine warning,
Missing happy hour at Cheer-Up Charlie's,
My stash running out.........?



Did I miss anything?
