News story (of sorts)

I have no idea if this is true or not, but my roommate emailed it to me from her mom etc, and I thought it was quite funny!

Gun Collector

You may have heard on the news about a southern California man put under 72-hour psychiatric observation when it was found he owned 100 guns and allegedly had (by rough estimate) 100,000 rounds of ammunition stored in his home.

My favorite quote from the dimwit television reporter: "Wow! He has about a quarter million machine gun bullets." The headline referred to it as a "massive weapons cache!"

By southern California standards someone owning 100,000 rounds would be called "mentally unstable." Just imagine if he lived elsewhere:

In Arizona, he'd be called "an avid gun collector."

In Arkansas, he'd be called "a novice gun collector."

In Utah, he'd be called "moderately well prepared," but they'd probably reserve judgment until they made sure that he had a corresponding quantity of stored food.

In Colorado and Montana, he'd be called "The neighborhood 'Go-To' guy."

In Idaho, he'd be called "a likely gubernatorial candidate."

In Louisiana and Mississippi he would be called "a deer hunting buddy."

In Texas, he’d be called “destitute.”

In Alabama, he's just "Bubba" who's short on ammo.

And in Wyoming, he'd be called "an eligible bachelor."
