Andy Parker, the father of the reporter shot dead on live television last week, has said that now he is campaigning for gun control (requiring background checks just like the killer passed) and he will probably get a firearm to defend himself, because he “doesn’t want to take any chances.” Hey buddy, pick one. Mr. Parker also said “they messed with the wrong family,” but considering the killer is dead, we don’t know who “they” is. In other words, he doesn’t want your daughter to be safe either. Mr. Parker also says he’s been in contact with Michael Bloomberg’s gun-banners, and we presume he’s looking for a paying job exploiting his daughter’s murder.

Gun-wielding has-been actor Mark Hamill has come out in favor of gun control.
