John Morales, the actor who played the crime-fighting cartoon character McGruff the Crime Dog, was sentenced to 16 years in prison stemming from a 2011 arrest in which police seized 1,000 marijuana plants, 27 weapons – including a grenade launcher – and 9,000 rounds of ammunition from his home.

    27 weapons, including a grenade launcher and 9,000 rounds of ammunition

    Sure seems like he intended to

      I don’t know about the other 27 weapons, but the grenade launcher was probably just for hunting.

        Nah that’s mainly for fishing, you can use it for hunting, but an RPG is way better for hunting.

      How do you expect him to take a bite out of crime? I think he was just true to his word, police aren’t stopping the real criminals so he just got more serious.

        Right. Because a car’s primary purpose is to drive over people. And people who have a lot of cars are more likely to plot mass murder than those who don’t. Great logic.

          I didn’t realize that you were the arbiter of vehicular and firearms purpose; my most sincere apologies oh great arbiter. I had no idea you were the one to decide how people use their firearms and vehicles.

          And people who have a lot of cars are more likely to plot mass murder than those who don’t. Great logic.

          Those people are certainly more likely to be stealing your labor, which is quickly devolving into a feudalistic system; and that will ultimately lead to poverty and death.

          “Intended Purpose” and “Probability of Harm” are entirely different things. If the only purpose of a firearm was to kill someone, and considering that we have 1.5 firearms owned per person in the USA; we should have substantially higher number of firearms related deaths, wouldn’t you agree – I mean, based on “logic” right?
