On Friday the suspects identified as Brandon Orlando Baldwin and Olajuwon Davis were indicted on weapons charges for making purchases of two handguns at the Cabela’s sporting goods store in Hazelwood.

According to the indictment, between November 1 and 13 the men acquired two Hi-Point .45 ACP pistols but the weapons were intended to be handed over to someone else.

The article doesn't say why buying the guns at a sporting goods store was illegal in this case, but here are some comments:


What do you think? White people?

We don't have a race problem in this country.  We're the post-racial United States.

Here's another brilliant one.

With tensions rising in Ferguson, a woman accidentally shot herself with a gun she had bought to protect herself in the event of unrest following the upcoming verdict in the case of Michael Brown, the black teen killed by a white officer.

Becca Campbell, 26, was the victim of an accidental, self-inflicted bullet wound to the head.

Campbell was a passenger in a vehicle being driven by her unidentified 33-year-old boyfriend, a source with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department told CNN.

The unidentified boyfriend told police that as they were driving around St. Louis Friday night, Campbell jokingly waved the gun, saying they were “ready for Ferguson.”

Explaining that he ducked his head to avoid the firing line, the victim’s boyfriend accidentally struck another car, causing the gun to discharge, hitting Campbell with a bullet in the head.

Brilliant. Of course, I guess it COULD HAVE been an opportunity for her boyfriend to be rid of her. An investigation is underway.
