Guns Don’t Kill People, Staplers Do
In what context is a stapler considered a weapon?
A. When the guy you’re fighting pulls out a three hole punch
B. When a militant Islamist terrorist group takes an Office Max hostage
C. When you’re fighting an angry mob of 200-feet tall piece of looseleaf paper
According to the Associated Press, a man tried to rob an ice cream store with a stapler.
The man entered the store, produced a chrome stapler and demanded money from the teller. A chrome stapler? Is Harley Davidson getting into the office supply business?
The teller gave the man the money and he fled the store before witnesses of the crime led police to the man’s house. Police recovered the money, a mask and the stapler. They also confiscated a .45 caliber label maker, a double barreled hole puncher and a sawed-off sticky note dispenser.
A police spokesman said he wasn’t sure how the man was going to use the stapler as a weapon. Investigators believe the man threatened the clerk to either open the cash register or ruin the book he was going to read on his lunch break by stapling the pages together.

And just thank god there was none of those people in there that would have defended the guy
“”Oh he’s got a stapler, he must be crazy… lets give him half the time and give him an ice cream cone”"
