Guns Don't Kill People: Morons With Guns Kill People!

Via Nag on the Lake:

Cullen told firefighters he wanted a cat rescued from his tree and knew they would only respond to a fire call, Edwards said. A battalion chief told Cullen to call animal control or wait for the cat to get hungry and come down.

Cullen apparently didn't like the response, Edwards said.

"He went back into the house, got a small black revolver and came outside shooting," she said.

This tells you most of what you wanted to know about pet and gun owners.

Why couldn't he just shoot the cat out of the tree if it was so urgent?
