When bulldozers are outlawed...

...only outlaws will have bulldozers.
As if to illustrate the absurdity of the whole situation, sixteen people were injured and the driver shot dead by police when a Palestinian commandeered a bulldozer and ran over a bunch of cars in Jerusalem. And he did it just as Barack Obama was coming to town to meet with the Israeli government: "Today's bulldozer attack is a reminder of what Israelis have courageously lived with on a daily basis for far too long," Obama told a news conference in Amman. "I strongly condemn this attack and will always support Israel in confronting terrorism and pursuing lasting peace and security... Israeli police identified the driver as Ghassan Abu Tair, a 22-year-old Palestinian from a village in an area of the occupied West Bank... A bulldozer attack in Jerusalem on July 2 killed three Israelis. Its Palestinian driver, a resident of Arab East Jerusalem, was shot dead by an off-duty soldier and police."

Rico says this is what happens when you let civilians have access to weapons of mass destruction...
