#20  the former gentleman took his rebellion against his gun store owning parents much further than is customary

So, Daddy issues. It's always daddy issues with the Left. Were they weaned to early?

#19  the former gentleman took his rebellion against his gun store owning parents much further than is customary

He took his beef to the level of wanting to abrogate the Constitutional right of the entire US adult population. Yes, that's too far by quite a margin.

#18  Also, team Snark-o-the-Day for Frank G with Abu Uluque for set-up.

Besoeker gets a special moderator mention for his at #1.

Separately and seriously, I note the fact that the former gentleman took his rebellion against his gun store owning parents much further than is customary, even among troubled boys.

#17   at the skin cancer doc

Hopefully you just need it sliced off with a scalpel followed by a few stitches under local anesthetic, Besoeker.

#16  On my hand-held at the skin cancer doc or I would right Frank up for it.

#15  Do I get credit for setting him up?

#14  Well now.

You know, I'm ok with that.

#12  ^ Ow!

#11  I'm guessing he choked on his cellmate

#10  The article does not tell us how Mr. Glaze managed to kill himself in a jail cell. Who, What, When, Where, How and Why are the questions that every reporter should try to answer. That's Journalism 101. Hell, that's junior high school journalism. It's one thing if all the answers are not readily available but, if the questions are not even asked, you have to wonder what the reporter is hiding.

#6  Serial drunk driver. A bottle of Jack, a pistol with one round, do the right thing.

#5  He is not even responsible enough to be a licensed driver.

I wonder if he wished he had a gun in the last moments of his life?

Summary: Mentally unstable and was helping Obama write Gun Control Laws. While seeking to amend the citizens owned and controlled Bill of Rights?

#2  Did his reckless DUI kill another person?

If so, then he wantonly took two lives.

That's more lives taken than by any of the legal gun owners whom he wasted his life attacking

#1  Glaze struggled with alcohol, depression and anxiety

He has finally conquered them all. We wish him well.
