I've heard of "Ballets, not bullets" but "Burritos or bullets"? That's a new one to me

Why does anyone need to take their guns to Taco Bell? The foods already been killed, cleaned and cooked.


Taco rage: Man upset at burrito price rise fires shots

SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - A Taco Bell drive-through customer who became enraged because of a price increase on Beefy Crunch Burritos fired a BB gun through the window at a manager on Sunday, police said.

No one was hurt from the shots fired by the man, who also waved a pistol and an assault rifle in the parking lot, Police Sergeant Chris Benavides said.

As the restaurant's employees and customers hit the floor, the manager called police, and when officers arrived, the angry patron fired several shots at the police cars, Benavides said.

The man then barricaded himself inside a nearby motel room, sparking a standoff that lasted until police lobbed tear gas inside and the man surrendered.

Benavides said the burritos had been sold for 99 cents each as a promotion, but the man was apparently angry that the promotion had ended, and the price had gone up to $1.49.

The name of the 'taco rage' suspect has not been released because he had not yet been formally charged early Monday. Benavides said that the man will be charged with three counts of attempted capital murder, and that additional charges are possible.

The man never did get his burritos.

A BAR? Wow. Part of me is thinking "How interesting from a historical point of view!" while the other part is slapping my forehead at the amount of overkill that would be.

Heh, overkill is kind of the point! I mean, the object is to get rid of as many hogs as possible. And when you've already got this mostly-good BAR sitting around, and not many ways to live fire it except by paying a huge amount at a range, hog hunting seems a reasonable alternative. :p
