And the Larry Hincker Award Goes To...

Former state police Superintendent W. Gerald Massengill said yesterday that he is willing to personally support restrictions on sales of firearms at gun shows.

Stepping into a volatile political issue that he said will take on a new urgency and tenor in the wake of the Virginia Tech massacre, Massengill described himself as a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights but as a man who has witnessed an intolerable rise in gun violence and gun presence.

"We can't allow the proliferation of guns to continue," he said, speaking before The Virginia Center for Public Safety, a nonprofit group that is part of a coalition of gun-control advocates.
What...?

I have questions for Massengill.

When you were Superintendent of State Police, did you try to curtail the prolific possession of guns by your troopers? If not, why not? Do you not see that the students at VT needed the same protection against a criminal that your troopers did? Why do you not place value on the lives of innocent citizens as highly as you do on armed police?

Anyone know where I can send these questions to him?

Fire one! Douuuuuuuche! Fire two! Douuuuuuche! Both sides of your mouth running at the same time, Captain Massengil! Very well, prepare to dive under the Constitution and subvert the rest of the Bill of Rights. Jahwohl, Meine Hauptman, Schnell schweinhundts!

I was going to say that Massengill is a douchebag - but I see I'm a little late...
