Whoops Looks Like Tennessee Is Going To Start Taking Dude's Guns Away?
Uh oh. Be careful Tennessee! You do not want James Yeager to start murdering you!
The state of Tennessee has suspended the handgun carry permit of James Yeager, CEO of Tactical Response, who recently said he would "start killing people" should President Obama take executive action on gun control.
State officials explained they revoked the permit because of Yeager's "material likelihood of risk of harm to the public," according to a local TV station. Tactical Response is a Tennessee-based company that specializes in firearms and tactical training.
"The number one priority for our department is to ensure the public's safety," wrote Commissioner Bill Gibbons. "Mr. Yeager's comments were irresponsible, dangerous, and deserved our immediate attention. Due to our concern, as well as that of law enforcement, his handgun permit was suspended immediately. We have notified Mr. Yeager about the suspension today via e-mail. He will receive an official notification of his suspension through the mail."
You probably gotta be pretty fucked for TENNESSEE to take away your carry permit. But we guess we sort of lied in the headline, because they're not actually taking away Mr. Yeager's guns. "Yet."
And of course, they won't, if they know what's good for 'em.

i think melissa block was going for the 'let him hang himself' format but i seriously wanted the 'punch him in the balls with facts' formula.
me and mr fuf dutifully went thru all our crap tonight (three computers, two iphones, one ipad) and we didn't have java anywhere.
thank god i don't have a job. then we would have had 15 devices.
