THE BURNED OVER DISTRICT

One such "adult" is a swaggering pile of ball clanking manhood who works to impose his stupidity on the poor, suffering people of Wisconsin, teabagger state representative Bob Gannon. There was a shooting a a mall in his district and, for some reason, no real adults around to explain what is real and what is not. And so on Monday Bob Gannon channeled his inner Dirty Harry.

After a shooting last Saturday at a Wisconsin mall, a state representative has said citizens holding concealed carry gun permits could “clean our society of these scumbags” by taking “careful aim”.

“Wisconsin does not have a death penalty law, but with significant practice and careful aim, law-abiding citizens can help clean our society of these scumbags,” Republican state representative Bob Gannon wrote in a Monday news release.

The release was first posted on the Wheeler Report, a clearinghouse for Wisconsin political news.

Gannon’s office published the statement in response to a shooting that occurred over the weekend at East Town Mall when two groups of male teenagers started arguing. One of the teenagers shot a gun during the dispute, but no one was killed.

Gannon, who has a concealed carry permit, said he has never been to the mall because he will not shop anywhere that bans guns.

“Criminals no longer have any fear of our courts or our prisons, so it’s time that the citizens of this fine state stand up and fight back,” Gannon said. “A gang banger in the mall with a gun is going to think twice if there could be a law-abiding CCW holder standing behind them fully prepared to shoot center mass, as this is how you’re trained to eliminate the threat these creeps pose to you, your family, and all law-abiding citizens unwillingly dragged into their public crime spree.”

When asked whether his comments went too far, Gannon told reporters that he was not calling for vigilantism, but “self-defense”.

Such a rich fantasy life Mr. Gannon has, but he forgets that when a a good guy with a gun got the drop on Jerad Miller, one of the Bundy inspired Colorado cop killers, it was Jerad's wife Amanda who got the drop on the good guy and blew him away. But who cares how many bodies there are as long as the bullets fly when evil appears. Amirite?
