Not really funny

As the St. Louis Post-Dispatch describes it, the events of Friday evening sound tragic but unremarkable: Police responded to a call of a woman shot in the head in a car around 11:45pm; 26-year-old Becca Campbell was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

But police sources close to the investigation tell CNN that Campbell and her 33-year-old boyfriend, who was driving at the time, had purchased the gun to protect themselves from any Ferguson-related unrest. The unidentified boyfriend says that Campbell was brandishing the gun as they drove, joking that they were prepared for Ferguson. He reportedly told police that he ducked to avoid the gun and rear-ended a car as a result. In the accident, the gun went off, he says, and a bullet hit Campbell in the head. CNN reports that police are digging into his story to make sure it checks out and are waiting on gun residue tests. 

Recent reports show that gun sales have rocketed during the Obama administration, largely due to the insistence of the NRA and gun dealers that Obama is going to take away people's guns. As a result, each year has brought record gun sales for the dealers who subsidize the NRA's lobby that makes sure there are no restrictions on gun sales to the people who are afraid that Obama will take their guns or that the blacks are coming in the night to rob them blind and the blacks will have guns and they won't have guns and now they ...

And, of course, Obama has yet to knock on anyone's door demanding their weapons. 

You do the math.
