Some things in this world are stranger than fiction. Such was the case in a
story from Independence, Oregon, where a 19-year-old on his way to visit family
decided to stop for a rest -- and burglarize a farm. He stole several things,
which he hid behind a barn before fleeing on foot. He then stole a pickup, also
on the farm, returned to the house, and loaded up his spoils. Before leaving, he
added a shotgun and an AR-15 to his take. While he drove across a field to make
his escape, however, he hit a bump, causing a part of the shotgun caught in the
trigger area of the AR-15 to shift and depress the trigger. The AR fired once,
striking and killing the burglar. Early reports are that the shotgun had indeed
failed a background check. Either way, someone should alert Joe Biden. Despite
his sage advice, when this shotgun needed to defend itself, it went for the
AR-15.
