Another sad tale from Bizarro World.

via HuffPo

A catering chef was almost banned from buying two limes - because they could be classed as a weapon.

Chef Marisa Zoccolan, 31, popped into the new Asda supermarket close to her home in Wallsend, North Tyneside, for groceries and a couple of the offending fruits.
But when she tried to pay for them at the self-service checkout, the message 'amount exceeded, authorisation required' flashed up.
An assistant then came over and told her that more than one lime was deemed a weapon - because the citric acid could be squirted in someone's eye.

This is where the gun controller/banner mentality eventually leads. When they run out of guns to ban/control, they'll move to air guns, knives, large sticks, and eventually citrus fruits. In fact, I fully expect the UK to eventually ban stern looks. Stupidity has no limits.

Scott Brown goes left.

From HuffPo: Scott Brown Comes Out Against NRA-Backed Legislation.

When he was elected, I warned:

Looks like he will continue to be the typical east coast RINO in the same vain as Romney and Steele.

"...socially responsible usage."

From the comment section of the latest Fudd screed:

Its common sense that we enact liquor control laws in much the same way that it is common sense that we enact gun control laws that celebrate and protect socially responsible usage (ie target practice, and hunting) but which restrict those items which have no responsible use (ie military grade weapons, large capacity magazines, and other weapons whose only realistic purpose is killing large amounts of things quickly).

Is there no "socially responsible way" to use "military grade weapons, large capacity magazines, and other weapons whose only realistic purpose is killing large amounts of things quickly"?

If I recall correctly, more people are injured/killed in one season of hunting than at all the machine gun shoots around the country combined. So which weapons are truly socially responsible?
