And now, a wingnut update
Guns! Guns! Guns!
Remember following the Aurora Colorado theater Batman shootings (wait. That happened?) when all of Wingnuttia was saying that the problem was not enough people in the theater were packing heat to take down the bad guy? We present an object-lesson on guns:
SPARKS, Nev. (AP) — Police say a man accidentally shot himself in the buttocks at a Nevada movie theater during a showing of “The Bourne Legacy.”
Police in Sparks, Nev., say the 56-year-old man’s injuries are not life-threatening and no others were hurt.Authorities say the man had a permit to carry a concealed firearm. The man told officers the gun fell from his pocket Tuesday night as he was adjusting himself in the seat and that it discharged when it dropped to the floor.
I know it is beating on a dead horse, but this kind of foolishness has got to stop. We’ve had three mass killings in less than a month’s time and no one thinks we have a gun problem?
OK, so a gun-fetishing wingnut brings his concealed weapon to a theater where it accidentally discharges and shoots him in the ass, and that’s kinda funny. Now imagine if the entire audience is packing heat (as the GOP’s wettest dream comes true), and accidentally a gun goes off. It would be a bloodbath.

At this point, I’m almost content to let a theater full of gun fetishists with concealed carry licenses follow the Darwinian path to self reduction, but don’t you just know they would take with them three, sensible, non packing souls upon whom the censure of the NRA would fall.
As Ed Rendell said on The Ed Show, only a crazy person would think it’s a good idea for a bunch of gun-toting people to have a shoot-out in a dark theatre. Morons.
Years ago some guy in Chicago, while sleeping on a couch, moved around, the pistol in his back pocket discharged, and he took one in the buttocks.
After that his friends started calling him Maurice Cheeks (an NBA player at the time).
He was “adjusting himself”? Was it Fred Willard?
