He seems to have hit all of the favorites:
- mythical online gun vending machine
- non-sequitor reference to the UK
- mentioning hunting
- science fiction-like attributes for a "large caliber" gun
- inaccurate historical statements
- irrational view of utopian future where we all drink free Bubble-Up and eat rainbow stew
- blaming the gun instead of the actor, and especially instead of any potential responsibility that the "victim" might have had in the situation
. . . did he miss anything from the playbook?

We were treated to these gems from Sean Payton, the Saints head coach:
Sean Payton wrote:I hate guns. ... I've heard people argue that everybody needs a gun. That's madness. I know there are many kids who grow up in a hunting environment. I get that. But there are places, like England, where even the cops don't have guns,
Sean Payton wrote:It was a large caliber gun. A .45. It was designed back during World War I. And this thing just stops people. It will kill someone within four or five seconds after they are struck. You bleed out. After the first shot, he took three more in his back. ... We could go online and get 10 of them and have them shipped to our house tomorrow. I don't believe that was the intention when they allowed for the right for citizens to bear arms.
Sean Payton wrote:I'm not an extreme liberal; I find myself leaning to the right on some issues. But on this issue, I can’t wrap my brain around it.

That’s some silly stuff we’re hanging on to.
