Here is the fifty-fifth article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today\u2019s honoree is Republican Ammosexual, Cole Campbell. He is so honored posthumously for combining extreme InsaniTEA with a extreme stupidity.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"0808Campbell\"A Missouri family whose son was killed by a gun that was supposed to be unloaded is asking for \u201cmemorial\u201d donations to be sent to the National Rifle Association (NRA) or other gun-rights groups in his memory. <\/p>\n

On Wednesday, 21-year-old Makenzie Halinski was sentenced to seven years in prison for fatally shooting her boyfriend, 20-year-old Cole Campbell, according to the St. Louis Post Dispatch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Festus police, Halinski said that Campbell had a makeshift shooting range in his basement, and had been teaching her how to use guns on June 24. She said that he told her that one of the guns was unloaded, and said, \u201cShoot me.\u201d But the gun was loaded, and a bullet struck Campbell in the forehead when she pulled the trigger. <\/p>\n

She stated that the pair had been drinking and smoking marijuana at the time of the shooting. The Post-Dispatch also reported<\/a> that the St. Louis County bomb and arson unit had to be called in to remove \u201cseveral suspicious items\u201d found at the crime scene. Those items were later described<\/a> as \u201cpipe bombs.\u201d\u2026 <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
