Today in NUTS WITH GUNS!

[Bennyboy]

A woman believed to be the mother of a Texas seventh-grade volleyball player pulled a gun on a rival team celebrating a lopsided win over her daughter's outmatched squad, officials said Friday.

Girls on the Kirby Middle School volleyball team fled when the woman confronted them with a gun Thursday night in the parking lot and threatened to shoot, Judson school district spokesman James Keith said. No shots were fired and no one was injured.

Authorities believe the woman is the mother of a player from Metzger Middle School, which had just been beaten soundly.

No arrests had been made as of early Friday. Keith said the school district believed they had identified the woman.

"She was irate during the game," Keith said. "My understanding, according to the principal, is that the Metzger team lost pretty bad. They were getting hit with balls during the game and were just outmatched."

1. Just another 'law-biden cit-zen'

perteckin' herself. :eyes:

3. You betcha!

[PavePusher]

25. What condiments do you prefer with your crow? n/t

[SteveM]

33. Yeah, you can never tell where someone's finger has been.

[DrDan]

2. she needs some time behind bars to think about her behavior . . .

[awoke_in_2003]

4. middle and high school...

volleyball games are played at school gymnasiums. I believe it is illegal to carry a gun into any Texas school, regardless of CC license.

6. The panel of experts will be here soon.

Count on it.

[awoke_in_2003]

7. you are right...

and this woman need to see the inside of a jail cell for a while (I say that as a responsible gun owner).

[Callisto32]

21. As opposed to you,

the person who knows, right?

[SteveM]

34. To delineate between a gun and a finger. Can you count the latter?

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. What's the big deal?

Isn't this how mature adults express dissatisfaction these days?

Seems so...........

[Hoopla Phil]

27. Yep, by accusing someone of having a gun when they point their finger at you.

That IS what you meant right?

[klook]

8. This is getting heavily un-recommended

by people who love nuts with guns, I guess.

You have to empathize with the poor woman, though -- I mean what would you do if your daughter's 7th-grade volleyball team got creamed like that?

[benEzra]

10. I think it's the implied generalization to "typical gun owners" that's the point of contention. n/t

[klook]

12. I doubt seriously

that even the no-guns-at-all crowd would consider this woman a typical gun owner.

[GreenStormCloud]

13. See posts #1 & #9. They are eager to broad-brush all gun owners. N/T

[X_Digger]

14. See reply #1, 9, 5 (sorta). Happens all too often here. n/t

[Callisto32]

22. You don't know the level of gun owner hate in the gungeon, very well.

[SteveM]

35. ...due to finger-painting.

[onehandle]

9. Woman defends daughter with gun. What's the problem? nt

[cleanhippie]

24. IT never happened, thats the problem.

Fail.

[slackmaster]

11. Yes, that woman is a nut all right

I hope she gets help for her psychiatric problems.

15. UPDATE- For all those who had the rope knotted and ready to go:

http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/education/accused_gun_mom_there_was_no_gun_102636289.html

....The woman admitted she engaged in a yelling match with members of the Kirby team after their lopsided win but insisted she did not brandish a gun because she does not own one, he said.

“She said she did not use a gun, and that she waved her finger,” Keith said.

Friday, she consented to a search of her home and vehicle, and no gun was found, he said.

After re-interviewing the witnesses Friday, school district police said their accounts did not match up, Keith said. He declined to elaborate....

16. Thanks for the update n/t

[Hoopla Phil]

18. self delete

[aikoaiko]

20. evil finger gun

[Callisto32]

23. So...

teenage girls get P.O.'d at a woman who should have been a better adult, but didn't really do anything "wrong" in se. They make up a story, and get busted, and it gets turned into anti-gun-owner sentiment, despite being untrue. Wonderful.

[backwoodsbob]

26. rofl

a two fisted load of fail for the hand wringers

[onehandle]

28. So the gun ended up in the same ditch as OJ's knife.

Good to know.

[shadowrider]

29. LOL you're funny. Another daily chuckle. Thanks! n/t

[SteveM]

30. Those bubbles! That hippo! There goes the neighborhood.

[friendly_iconoclast]

32. Nah, it was the one where Saddams' WMD were hidden...

Dude, this is Democratic Underground. Do you really want to copy Dick Cheney's MO?

[SteveM]

36. Actually, buried with Jimmy Hoffa in some football stadium.

[cognoscere]

17. NUTS WITH GUNS? How about guns with nuts?

[Hoopla Phil]

19. Another gun story where no gun was used.

Um, oops?

37. .....another from the archives

The Seattle "shootings" that involved a knife but no guns, breathlessly reported by a resident handwringer.

[Euromutt]

38. Spokane, not Seattle

They're on almost opposite sides of the state from each other. Sorry, just a Washington state resident niggle.

31. Has word reached San Fran yet? Any Qurans burning? Ole Miss lose again?
