Well, Whistle Stop, as you clearly don't understand irony, I'll explain.

Of course there's nothing funny in this situation. In saying its hilarious, I was responding to earlier anti-gun-law posts by using humour to make a serious point, the point being that, despite what the small-dick bullet-heads of the NRA and their brainwashed followers would have everyone believe, more and more guns will solve nothing, A huge armoury isn't helping the police in this incident and, in fact, the police themselves seem to be at least as dangerous as the guy they're trying to deal with....shooting at people (including women and children) in 'mistaken identity' incidents - scroll down to the picture of the burned-out pickup and read on....

Maybe they should bring in a couple of old retired ex-cops with their handguns hidden under their coats to sort that MoFo out. (And if you haven't read the recent gun control threads which followed the school shooting, you won't get the irony in that either).
