  1. Wait, I got it…

    “Good guy with a gun…”

    “Obama’s coming to take your guns…”

    “Second amendment…”

    “Right to self defense…”

    “Tyranny…”

    Did I miss anything?

  2. He would have been better off making his own clock.
    So long as he didn’t take it to school.

  3. At least it wasn’t a homemade clock and we have no proof the kid wasn’t white.

  4. When rebar is outlawed, only outlaws will have rebar.

    BTW: How the hell did the 13-year-old use a welding torch to join those pieces together? Is that some sort of obscure Boy Scout merit badge?

  5. Some sort of NRA merit badge, I would imagine.
