Duck! He Has A Cannon!
I told you people and I told you people: This is all about re-fighting the Civil War and now I have proof. It’s in Georgia.
His name is John Stone and he is the only licensed firearms dealer running for congress, dammit. The one thing that has been missing in congress, dammit, is not enough firearm dealers.
And just in case you were wondering if he can do anything other than fire a cannon …
John E. Stone is a full-time Republican candidate for Georgia’s 12th District seat in the U.S. House Representatives. He is the former Washington Chief of Staff to House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman John Carter (R-TX31), and former Deputy Chief of Staff and Communications Director for the late U.S. Rep. Charlie Norwood (R-GA10) and former U.S. Rep. Max Burns (R-GA12).
So he’s a firearm dealin’ political hack. Now, see, THAT’S what we really need in Congress.
Thanks to Rick for the heads up.
I guess he’ll be hauling that thing behind him wherever he goes now with the new Guns Everywhere law in Georgia.
So much for concealed carry.
1Can’t decide which was the most fun, watching John disappear in a cloud of his own smoke, or the shadow his chin is casting on his shirt. With all the Koch cash, why can’t the GOP find some decent ad consultants?
2John E. Stone for Congress! The “E” stands for Extremist. Or possibly Embarrassment.
3Or, Monty, it could be the “E” word that passes for Republican brains, excrement.
Thanks for the launch, man!
4They do whatever they think will get them votes. WE can’t get campaign reform soon enough.
5A candidate to warm the cockles of Wayne LaPierre’s heart.
6Wizard of Oz time, maryelle. Wayne LaPierre has no brain, Dick Cheney had no heart, until he jumped the line and was given one. (new rule, before receiving a heart, must have a damaged heart to prove worthiness)
Meet the new cast, Charles and David Koch, the Cowardly Lions. Watch them weep, when their poor misunderstood thieving, polluting, no tax paying, racketeering our political system wonderful self-proclaimed beings are not given our total devotion.
The Flying Monkeys are now played by the Texas delegation to the US Congress.
7Well, if he gets elected, at least we’ll know who they’re talking about if someone mentions a loose cannon up on Capitol Hill…
8Guy doesn’t know his cannons or history (or much else probably). That appears to be a poorly done reproduction of a 12-pound mountain howitzer. Wheels and carriage are incorrect. “British at Savanah?” Ha! BTW you don’t fire those with a long match – you use a friction primer and yank on a lanyard.
He should have contacted me. I might have, for a rather astronomical donation to the local Democrats, let him fire the real thing!
Idiots like that just give real cannon people a bad rep!
9Now all he needs is a red pick-up truck to haul it with… maybe Scott Brown will loan him one.
10Wayne LaPierre has a heart?????
Honest. This is a serious question.
11There is a theory that the larger the gun, the smaller the personal equipment. So what does that say about this guy?
12Polite Kool Marxist, I don’t think Cheney jumped to the front of any line for his heart, no I think he ripped it out of someone’s chest and screamed MINE!
13mb, I love your idea of fund-raising. Big donation to Dems in exchange for firing a real cannon. I bet even a bunch of Dems would go for that. I’ll ask at Yeller Dawgs tomorrow morning. Any of y’all in Austin, come on over to Yeller Dawgs, 11 to 1 at Tres Amigos, on Cap of Tx Hwy in Austin. No dues, good coffee and food and company.
14mb says:
“British at Savannah?” Ha!
You might want to recheck the history on the “British at Savannah!”

15And there’s the Texas connection. This guy worked for John Carter (alas not of Mars), my Congresscritter, and useless as dog poo in a swimming pool.
16Yuck.
17@ Fred Farklestone – the mountain howitzer wasn’t developed until long after the Savannah goings on in 1779 and thus was NOT used on the read coats. The MH was from the 1830s and 1840s and was used in the Civil War and well into the Indian Wars. The M1841 apparently was the most common.

18Any time I see a story with the words duck, cannon, and politician, I expect to see Dick Cheney’s name in there somewhere.
Copy boy! Rewrite!
