You know, they outlawed methamphetamine and people are still able to get it. Same with heroin, and crack cocaine. I mean what the hell's the use? Make it all legal and just live with the addicts. Same goes for rape. Rape has been illegal for many, many generations yet the bad guys are still raping. Really, why even try? Let's just strike all laws from the books and give up. Anarchy, that's the ticket. At least according to Larry Pratt, executive director of a terrorist group called Gun Owners of America. I was watching Hardball with Chris Matthews the other day and he had this emotional midget on as a guest. His argument for not having background checks on gun purchasers was, "They're going to get access to firearms anyway, so why bother." That, and the fact that if you do background checks the government will have information about you. I'm pretty sure the government has all the information they could possibly use already. They have your Social Security number, and they have your drivers license number. They have your tax returns, and for all men, they have you in the Selective Service records. They even have your birth certificate, although I know a lot of the gun nuts don't believe in them.
I truly believe that the folks who want their guns so badly that they'd sacrifice thousands of innocent lives, are emotionally retarded. They are stuck in a fifteen year old child's mindset. I have my toys. I want my toys. You can't take my toys. The fact is we can take their toys, at least the most lethal toys from the most criminal and most insane. The problem is the politicians. They are either too spineless, or they are being paid off. I'm not sure which. I just know that the only thing lower than a pro gun politician, is a mouthpiece for the gun lobby who will say anything to keep gun manufacturers profits going up.
Good one.
ReplyDeleteOne vote for Alan towards any political seat you are running for.
ReplyDeleteMost politicians are spineless AND being paid off....look at Jackson Jr's reaction to being caught. Run and hide and say you have a mental illness. How insulting to the true cases of mental illness. And I bet he has a gun!!!
ReplyDeleteI with the Hostess - you have my vote Alan for any political postion you run for. Too bad you're too smart for politics. You'd do great!!
ReplyDeleteSome politicians are better at hiding the graft. Remember the guy in Louisiana who hid the booty in his freezer? You have to think bigger than that. Like the cushy job you'll get when you retire, or the cushy job your spouse has now. Money in the freezer, what a rube.
ReplyDeleteGreat rant, Alan!! And I concur wholeheartedly. I have alienated at least three family members on facebook over this issue. They're terrified that the gummit is going to take away their guns.
ReplyDeleteGummit ain't gonna take the guns. Gummit is going to take away your social security and medicare, though. (I saw that on Facebook, too.) I've got to stay off of Facebook.
Maybe the Constitution meant we all have the right to be sleeveless.
ReplyDeleteLast Anonymous...did they spell it "bare" arms or "bear" arms??!!
ReplyDeleteThe government also has a list of all your friends and all your activities. The CIA commented that they are saving a fortune on gathering that information and have closed down certain departments because they have so much information. Oh, it's called "Facebook." And it's free!
ReplyDeleteAnon, and A Nony, I think it means we have the right to have big, hairy arms. Grrrr...
