Granny’s Got A Gun
This is one of those horrible news titles that I hate to admit made me laugh: Woman, 92, dies in shootout with police I instantly thought of one of my favorite South Park episodes "Grey Dawn" in which old people from the AARP commandeered the city aiming guns at all the citizens.
