The Use of Firearms

So, the case of the day involves a cocaine dealer from Florida. He trades an MAC-10 for some cocaine in a sting operation, and the court has to decide whether or not this constitutes "use of a firearm in a drug deal." Marie intially said that you have to discharge the weapon, but quickly changed her mind when I told her that this would align her with Justice Scalia. Really, as far as liberals are concerned, the man might as well be Satan.

The Court decided that there are a whole bunch of things that all could be considered "use." Which leads me to question, if the firearm is involved at all, is it considered use? If for example, you want to impress your drug dealer friends by shooting your gun at targets before they sell you the drugs, is it use? How about if you juggle firearms in order to pass the time until the drugs get there? Is that use? How about if you're a sword swallower, except with guns, and you choose to eat your gun during the drug deal? Is that use? Oh guns, useful in so many ways...

May all your hits be crits,
B
