Fun With Guns: Missouri State Senator Edition
Brian Nieves is a Missouri State Senator. He’s a 2nd Amendment fanatic and a Tea Party devotee.
He needs money to run for re-election and comes up with an idea. A skeet-shooting party.
That on its own isn’t the worst idea in the world, but it’s what else the voices in his head tell him to do that jump ship.
Brian decided to raffle off a new Sig Sauer 516 Patrol AR-15, which ain’t exactly used to shoot skeet.
But, let’s not stop there. Let’s see what levels of sponsorship Brian has. According to his Facebook page for the event, there’s an eyecatcher.
In sponsorship categories, there’s Sharpshooter, Marksman, and for the most expensive level of sponsorship — Sniper.
Click the little one to get the big one.
In the general sense of the term, I guess a sniper is a hunter, but probably not of deer or ducks.
Now just so you know, Brian is not some Republican crazy outcast or anything. He is the Senate Majority Whip.
Holy crap.
Thanks to Chloe for the heads up.
Yep, they just keep getting crazier and crazier, and just when you thought you couldn’t get crazier than they already are.
1Wikipedia, “Snipe hunt”: “A snipe hunt is a type of practical joke that involves experienced people making fun of credulous newcomers by giving them an impossible or imaginary task. The snipe hunt may be assigned to a target as part of a process of hazing.”
“A snipe hunt is specific type of ‘wild-goose chase’, where a person embarks on an impossible search. Where a wild-goose chase may be accidental, a snipe hunt is always initiated by a second person, as a prank…”

Can’t wait to see who opts to be a “sniper” sponsor.
2The National Moron Insurance Company is offering a discount to anyone who attends and/or buys a sponsorship, thus not displaying an ounce of common sense.(prerequisite for coverage)
3Beverage sponsor. Nothing like an adult beverage sponsor at an event with guns. What is the over/under on am I told you so posting?
4I wonder if any of those Ohio blind gun toters will be on premises … there should be a category for Duck & Run.
5These guys are so dumb they absolutely cannot come up with a decent theme for fund raising!
6Someone should tell him skeets are an endangered species. I bet he’d believe it.
7I think the blind gun owners are in Iowa.

9If he believed skeet is an endangered species, want to bet he’d auction off the rights to bag the last one?
Holy crap indeed. With guns.
10VeeGee … I couldn’t remember if it was Iowa or Ohio … they both have 4 letters in their names! ;o)
Yesterday the RWNJs here in CO made good on their threats to recall John Morse and Angela Giron because they dared to support better background checks! In their place they will seat 2 Repukes who feel it is their right to block the use of birth control and have women investigated if they have a miscarriage … if all the TV ads are correct on Herpin and whoever the other guy is … I’m not in their districts, so I wasn’t in a position to vote in this recall election. The Repukes in this state are as disgusting as they are straight across the board!!
