“Gun Death” Gasoline

Think of this in terms of gun control:

Jefferson County sheriff’s officials say a man accused of dousing his ex-girlfriend in gasoline and lighting her on fire has been arrested.

…Authorities have said the woman suffered burns to her head, arms, upper body and legs, and she’s hospitalized in serious condition.

Now here in Massachusetts I have an interesting story to tell about a trip to a gun shop. I went to a local shop and bought a 5lb keg of pistol powder. That’s all I bought, and by Massachusetts law I needed to show my gun permit. When I tell people friendly to gun control about this they say “Yeah, well gun powder is DANGEROUS!” Then their faces change when I mention after this particular trip I drove RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from the shop, pulled up to a gas pump and filled up my car with several gallons of gasoline, paid at the pump, and never saw a living soul the whole time.

I guess I could burn somebody to death with pistol powder, but as we see in the “Gun Death?” Files, gasoline is MUCH easier.

Hey, but we need more gun control, because only “Gun Death” counts

    I’ve wondered for years where those people who think guns are the only way to intentionally kill or injure someone (or multiple someones) keep their heads. Oh, wait. I think I know.

    I remember a case from a few years ago where a woman got mad at her SO; brought a big pan of cooking oil to a boil on the kitchen stove; and poured the oil in his face as he lay in bed sleeping. He lived a few days. Shooting him in the head as he slept would have been merciful.
