Idiots and ignoramouses abound in America. On Black Friday, two men got into a gun fight at a Toys R Us and shot each other. The reason for the scuffle is still a mystery but appears to have happened after the women they were with started into a scuffle. Both men died.
PALM DESERT, Calif. (AP) “” Two men were shot to death in a crowded toy store Friday in a confrontation apparently involving rival groups, city officials said. The officials said they were told the men shot each other, but investigators remained tight-lipped.
The violence erupted on Black Friday, the traditional post-Thanksgiving start of the holiday shopping surge, but authorities indicated it was not prompted by a shopping frenzy.
The Palm Desert Police Department received calls of shots fired just after 11:30 a.m. and found the two men dead.
Riverside County sheriff’s Sgt. Dennis Gutierrez confirmed there was a fight but said it was not over a toy.
He released little information at a news conference five hours after the shooting but emphasized there were no outstanding suspects and that no one was arrested. Detectives were reviewing security video and interviewing witnesses, he said.
The incident occurred near the front of the store in the check-out area. Gutierrez said
Palm Desert Councilman Jim Ferguson said police told him two men with handguns shot and killed each other. Ferguson said he asked police whether the incident was a dispute over a toy or whether it was gang-related. He said police told him they were not going to release further details until the victims’ relatives were notified.
What I want to focus on however is an ignorant comment by Mr. Ferguson which shows that he is probably not qualified for elected office in this country and is probably a very anti-second amenemdment type person.
“I think the obvious question everyone has is who takes loaded weapons into a Toys “R” Us?” he said. “I doubt it was the casual holiday shopper.”
Well Mr. dumbass Councilman, I tend to carry my loaded weapon whereever I go. See, there is this thing called the second amendment? Perhaps you have heard of it? It says we not only have the right to “keep” but to also “bear” arms.
Who would take a loaded weapon whereever they go? Even to a Toys R Us? Someone who isn’t dumb enough to think that things like the above don’t happen and who want to be able to defend themselves, their wifes and their 15 month old daughter from idiots. That’s who! Oh, and if anyone actually thinks that banning guns is an alternative to letting me defend my family, let me point you to how well all the thousands of gun control measures already on the books have worked at stopping gun violence.
Somehow I get the impression that the Councilman will be using this incident to push for some new gun control to stop people from doing things that he does not think they should do even though it would violate the Constitution. Just a hunch.
