    Gunfucious say: Man with hand in pocket feel Glocky all day.

  2. Will4Freedom   11 years ago

    Ya gotta forgive Bok for this one. He's still hung over from New Years Eve. I expect better next week.

    1. Loki   11 years ago

      Prepare to be disappointed.

  3. WTF   11 years ago

    The fuck does Richard Nixon have to do with the ATF?

    NEEDZ MOAR LABELZ.

    *SLAP!*

    1. invisible furry hand   11 years ago

      *slap!*

      1. straffinrun   11 years ago

        *slap*

        1. Rich   11 years ago

          *slap!*

    2. Ted S.   11 years ago

      I thought it was Fred Thompson.

      1. Swiss Servator   11 years ago

        *moment of silence*

  4. Crusty Juggler   11 years ago

    Hey Bok, there is no need to sully Conrad Bain's reputation.

  5. invisible furry hand   11 years ago

    Once again Bok draws gun-owner and bureaucrat alike as a paunchy middle-aged cis-man. Why oh why does Reason perpetuate this microaggression?

    1. sloopyinTEXAS   11 years ago

      Well, seeing as those are the people most likely to carry out a mass shooting according to the leftards, maybe Bok is onto something.

      Fucker is probably a Christian too.

      1. Mongo   11 years ago

        Bok is simply carrying the tradition of the salary man comics.

    2. HolgerDanske   11 years ago

      Given the reference, I assume both are supposed to be bureaucrats?

  6. sloopyinTEXAS   11 years ago

    Lol, as if a gun dealer permit is a single page.

    I assume the government bureaucrat is the head of the ATF since he has a Hillary-esque computer, and therefore email, setup.

    1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

      That's the application to request the form to request the full form, sloopy.

      1. sloopyinTEXAS   11 years ago

        Oh. I assume the real "form" often takes the shape of either an entire team of paper or several hundred dollar bills. Does,that sound about right?

        1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

          I don't know, I've never gotten that far, one of the earlier forms always gets rejected.

  7. straffinrun   11 years ago

    Why didn't the dude just buy the guns online? I've heard you don't need bg checks for that.

    1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

      Well clearly, since he's selling to mexican drug lords, he's a federal agent, so this could be the interdepartmental form filing session instead of joe public.

      Actually, do you think joe public could get anywhere near an ATF mandarin who rates a desk?

      1. straffinrun   11 years ago

        Good point, but that raises the real question. Which guy is holding the form?

        1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

          Judging by that picture... I don't know

  8. Entropy Drehmaschine Void   11 years ago

    Why is Nixon handing his Application to Archie Bunker?

    1. sloopyinTEXAS   11 years ago

      Stifle it, Entropy Void.

      1. Florida Man   11 years ago

        oh. OHHH!

      2. Entropy Drehmaschine Void   11 years ago

        Get a job, Meathead.

  9. Almanian's Rusty Woodchipper   11 years ago

    Late, but not quite dead yet!! Awful, therefore perfect! Etc. etc. Etc.!!!1

  10. Combaticus   11 years ago

    The original Facebook comment was funnier.

  11. macsnafu   11 years ago

    Is gun walking healthier than gun running??

  12. AD-RtR/OS!   11 years ago

    Opening a new gun-store:

    Black's Gun Market!
