Fun With Guns: The Good Guy With a Gun
Well hell, Georgia.
Steven Fincher is 29 years old and lives in Winder, Georgia, with his mother, his sister, and four minor children. And whole freekin’ mess of guns.
So Friday afternoon at about 1:30 pm, Steve decides that shooting up the neighborhood would be a helluva lot of fun.
So he starts randomly shooting from his house. Police say that Steve “was involved in an argument while drinking with a family friend.”
No one was hurt. But that was purely by accident.
The NRA was nowhere to be seen.
Thanks to Carl for the heads up.
Oh, the NRA will be there soon enough. They’ll be all over the airways saying,
“See? No one was hurt! Just a little shenanigans. Exuberance. No harm done. And if any harm HAD befallen anyone, they had the perfect remedy ready to hand. They coulda just shot Fincher dead. Problem solved.
“After all, the right of major gun manufacturers to make and distribute weaponry to every man, woman and child in the nation shall not be infringed!”
smh at the criminal stupidity of my nation.
1Gee thanks, NRA. All your good guys with guns sure are making things safe for the rest of us. /snark
2Well, the First Amendment guarantees freedom of expression – and the Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms… so doesn’t that mean that expressing one’s feelings by shooting up the neighborhood is a constitutionally-protected right?

Why is it shooting up your neighborhood isn’t terrorism?
4So guns aren’t just penis substitutes. They’re toys for the right-wing Peter Pan set (Republican boys who never grow up).
5Wyatt, it wasn’t terrorism because he was drinking. Muslims don’t drink.
6Wayne LaPierre…
Where Are You?
Seems like an idea for a Where is Waldo type book…
On every page full of bad guys with guns there is one good guy with a gun that looks like Wayne LaPierre….
7In the same amendment the words, “…well regulated…” also appear. How to get the nimrods to understand and accept that with every right comes a responsibility? Short of lobotomies, I got nuthin’.
8Whew! At least he is in the pokey with several charges against him. Hope he can’t duck when the judge throws the book at him.
9Wyatt Earl – not if you are white.

11No in this instance I think his guns were pretty much just peni substitutes/enhancement.
If there was any justice in this. yon idiot would lose his right to own a firearm ever again, my guess is that the yokel judge will admonish him and give him his guns back, SMH..
12@Wyatt Earl . . in the video the newsman notes, among all the charges, terroristic threats. It’s at the very end.
13‘In the same amendment the words, “…well regulated…” also appear.’
Lubrication = regulation.
14Looking at the pic of Steven Fincher’s “freekin’ mess of” an arms cache (who lives with his mommy), I’ll take a SWAG and guesstimate there’s about $10-15,000 minimum invested in those weapons, magazines, and gear (I recognize most of them).
Looking at the Wikipedia entry for Winder, GA, it gives a median male income of about $31,000 (in 2000), I’ll bet Stevie (who lives with his mommy) makes nowhere near that.
And to quote that Wiki entry, and keep quiet (bwahahahaha): ” In November 2011, Winder residents approved Sunday alcohol sales, becoming one of the first cities in Georgia to lift the ban.[9]”.
And I thought the Rethuglikkkan Way was all about personal responsibility, etc…
It seems Stevie (who lives with his mommy) was arrested without much fuss. If he had been black, how would have things gone? Oh, right…
15If you have all those guns and can’t hit what you’re shooting at…you ain’t no commando, son, whatever dreams of glory you’ve got banging around in your head.
As for the rhetorical question: If he’d been black, he’d’ve been dead, of course. Come ON, police & SWAT teams. Shoot some of these white thugs. Let’s even the odds.
