Today's Gun Nut

Welcome to the new normal, courtesy Wayne LaPierre.

Via Addicting Info, from WKMG in Orlando:
ORANGE CITY, Fla. - A man arrested for opening fire in a busy Walmart parking lot said he was trying to stop a shoplifter and is now defending his actions.
Orange City police arrested Jose Martinez, 35, after they said he unleashed at least five bullets in the parking lot of the Walmart on Veterans Memorial Parkway.
Martinez told Local 6, he was defending himself from a shoplifter who nearly ran him over and injured him.
Except that Martinez pulled his gun and opened fire well after the time the bad guy's car posed any kind of "threat" to him.  This was not defense - this was retribution - at best, just some dumbass rube playing out his Wyatt Earp fantasies.

Put something in place that the cops can use to charge Martinez with a low-end felony, get a conviction, and then put him on the list of People Too Fuckin' Stoopid To Own A Gun.

God, I'm sicka this shit.
