The Truth About Guns

“I think we’ve got to rein in what has become a almost article faith that anybody can have a gun, anywhere, anytime. I don’t believe that is in the best interest of the vast majority of people.” – Hillary Clinton in Hillary Clinton: U.S. needs to ‘rein in’ proliferation of guns [at cnn.com]

Georgia police are looking for one Jeffery Wooten after he brandished a pitch fork at a Waffle House, herded employees and customers into the back room and headed for the cash register. “When he realized he couldn’t get the cash register open, he took the whole cash register and exited the store with his pitchfork,” Norcross Police Chief Warren Summers told WSB-TV. Not having three hands, Wooten dropped the pitchfork. A woman picked it up and began hitting him with it. “Once he didn’t have a pitchfork, he wasn’t as brazen. I know that,” Summers said. “It wouldn’t be an offensive weapon in your garden, but it was in a Waffle House.” [h/t RW]
