It's All About Feelz

The people who first settled the eastern seaboard were tough cookies. Leaving everything they knew to cross an unforgiving ocean with sailboats. They landed in a country where they settled and fought and survived.

Fast forward a few hundred years to New Bedford, Massachusetts. Courage and self-sufficiency has been replaced by complete and utter stupidity.

A recent buyback in New Bedford, Massachusetts, however, may take the cake for stupid.

About 40 weapons were collected during a “Groceries for Guns” program Saturday at the Pilgrim United Church in New Bedford.

Police Chief Joseph Cordeiro says the haul included 18 guns and 22 BB and pellet guns, some of which looked like the real thing.

“I’m always concerned about the BB and pellet guns because they look so realistic,” said Cordeiro. “Many times guns of this type are used in robberies, so its good to get them off the street.”

Oh boy.

Now, it should be noted that at least one of these air guns still has the orange tip on it. That means that literally no one should mistake it for a live firearm unless they’re too braindead to comprehend reality in general.
