A Mexican Stand-off with a happy ending...

[FFranco]

Good riddance. They would have ended up in prison or dead by violence eventually. Those kind of guys always come to bad ends.

[WOBBLY BOB]

to infinity and beyond!

[MARTIAL MONK]

They’ll still get to vote for 0bama in 2012.

But they ain't gonna get no pie.

“And why is it “troubled” pasts, rather than “criminal” pasts”

Well, lefties say that they’re victims of their environment-being victimized by nasty gringos, jackbooted policemen, eeevil big business, and cruel Republicans;)

[BenLurkin]

That was my thought too after glancing over the headline initially.

[IbJensen]

These two latino gentlemen are going to have a very troubled future.

[JTHomes]

I’ve heard reporters opining along the lines of “That’s the problem with having all these guns on the streets. See how this escalated because they had guns?”. As usual, they miss the point. These were bad people. As felons, they clearly were not carrying legally anyway. A new gun law would not have prevented this.

[BenLurkin]

BUMP!

And why is it "troubled" pasts, rather than "criminal" pasts (not to mention presents, but fortunately not futures)?

Same reason that Simon and Garfunkle didn't sing Bridge over Criminal Waters ... it doesn't sound as psycho-spiffy. And we all know that psycho-spiffy is what all good J-school students want to achieve.

And trashy girlfriends. “Let’s go to the toy store, honey, and bring your gun in case we meet Ana and that creep she goes out with.”

[Tax-chick]

Oh, that explains it.

[rjones42]

Might have trouble future also.

[CholeraJoe]

You mean you don’t pack at Toys ‘R Us? I pack everywhere I go except Gub’mint buildings and work. (It disturbs the peeps)

[Tax-chick]

I haven’t been to Toys R Us in years. The only one near us closed.

(Good for you, btw. Getting a pistol and a license is on my list of things to do when I’m not having a baby.)

Men Shot To Death At Toy Store Were Criminal Scumbags

(There, fixed it).

[CholeraJoe]

Here's my favorite CCW weapon:

Taurus Millenium Pro. Comes in .32 through .45 caliber. Small, lightweight and affordable.

[Tax-chick]

Pretty! Can you FReepmail me order information? OldTax-lady will be sending us Contributions for Christmas, and Anoreth wants a pistol. She won’t be 21 for a while, but she can go to gun range in Monroe on her own after she’s 18 in March.

[BurbankKarl]

still Walmart’s fault.

[BykrBayb]

“Men” is plural.
