"How does it feel to get robbed with your own gun?" There is one Washington resident who can answer that question.

A local man was robbed by an acquaintance with his own gun while trying to sell it to a friend of the acquaintance earlier this month in Mukilteo, according to the Mukilteo Police Department. 

According to police, the victim took a ferry to Mukilteo with a 21-year-old acquaintance from Oak Harbor, who happens to be a convicted felon, in order to sell a gun to a friend of the acquaintance. 

The victim and acquaintance met the buyer, a 23-year-old Everett resident, in a parking lot near the ferry, and the buyer agreed to purchase the gun for $1,000, according to police. 

All three men decided to go to the buyer's apartment so the victim could show him how to clean and reassemble the gun. On the way, the acquaintance reportedly put a live round into the gun's chamber and pointed it at the victim's head. 

According to police, the acquaintance asked the victim, "How does it feel to get robbed with your own gun?"

The other two men then took the victim's cell phone and kicked him out of the car before warning him not to call the cops.  

Damn if only the good guy with the gun had not sold the gun to the bad guy, making him a bad guy with a gun, who then used it to rob the good guy, now without a gun, of all of his stuff.

You know it is almost as if guns place too much power in the hands of people who should not have such power, and allows them to then victimize others who would usually feel safe from such aggression.

But hey, we're the greatest country on earth and according to the NRA the 2nd Amendment keeps it that way, so that's just silly talk. Right?

Right?
