  • Antonio Reeves: Exercising his constitutional right to behave like an asshole
Not that we expect to influence the Tennessee Firearms Association, er, we mean the Tennessee General Assembly (ha!), but we feel duty bound to report this latest example of drunken jackassery by one of America's proud, law-abiding handgun carry permit holders, this one from Ala-damn-bama. According to police, Antonio Reeves of Huntsville was threatening someone with a gun in Franklin Saturday night. He was caught in a vehicle with a fully loaded 9mm handgun along with four fully loaded magazines and charged with possessing a handgun while intoxicated. Guess he wasn't listening closely during his extensive gun safety training.

Woodsy...Your amazing ability to get your knickers in a knot has again caused me to chuckle. Thanks.

Chuckle chuckle, I don't have to consider for one second the consequences of the policy to allow pretty much everyone to parade around heavily armed, snicker snicker, or admit that there's even a debate or a moderate position on gun rights guffaw guffaw, because the Tennessee GOP is the most brilliant political party in history as proven by a one seat majority as a result of the 08 election, chortle chortle

Well now if posting examples of drunks killing or injuring somebody while driving isn't a legitimate reason for generically eliminating driver's liscenses and driving cars, then posting examples of drunk gun owners behaving bady isn't a legitimate reason to generically eliminate gun carry permits and people carrying guns either.
Because, of course, there is no one on earth who is the least bit capable of proving there is one iota MORE of a legitimate reason for any citizen to be allowed to do the former than there is the latter.

If you are going to post information, it would help if you got the facts correct. This case was dismissed because there were no witnesses or proof of wrong doing. Next time check your souces before you post incorrect information or incomplete information.
