T-Bogg: When I’m Called Off, I Got A Sawed Off

T-Bogg's been on fire since the Newtown Massacre...his latest takedown of Glenn Reynolds is vintage...

Professor Glenn Reynolds, who holds the Jubilation T. Cornpone Shootin’ Arm chair at the University of Tennessee, has a few questions for all you skinny-jeans-wearin’ latte-sippin’ emo-emotin’ prefer-our-kids-alive-more-than-dead fancy-pants gun-grabbin city slicker man-card-less metrosexual homoseckshuls.

Before we get to them, you should probably be aware that the Ole Perfesser fired the first Protect The NRA At All Costs volley last Friday by penning an Op-Ed for America’s Hotel Complimentary Cartoon Newspaper known as USA Today. In it Reynolds began his argument by invoking the words of noted handgun expert William S. Burroughs, whose weaponry CV is limited to shooting his wife in the forehead while drunk (Mrs Dr. Perfesser Reynolds, take note). The law professor then called his second witness: noted academic fraud and cross-dresser John Lott who would love to show you his gun data … but his dog ate his hard-drive after he left it in his other pants with his girlfriend in Canada so, sorry. Needless to say, after a start like that it was pretty much downhill for the perfesser but, to be fair, he had to write it before the bodies of the twenty children and six women at Sandy Point Elementary had barely cooled, and he was under the gun which caused him to shoot from the hip while half-cocked so USA Today and the NRA did not get much bang for their buck.
