Let's regulate guns instead of abortion. 24 hr waiting periods before purchase, parental consent, mandatory viewing of gunshot wound videos

And while we're at it, since right-wingers like "heartbeat bills" so much, how about one for guns? If you want to buy a gun, we check your pulse. Then you look at the gun. While you're looking and holding it and checking it out, we take your pulse again. If it races so much we can tell you're head over heels in love -- sorry, you're too emotionally unstable regarding that weapon. You can't have it.
I love this. A psychologist should also have to lecture you on the statistics about guns, suicide, and negligent/accidental discharge. And, hell, lets go the whole hog. If you want to own a gun you have to be willing to have a transvaginal probe shoved up you while you are hearing the lecture.

ReplyDeleteGreat! Still better, every gun dealer has to have a board-certified psychiatrist on staff with privileges at a local hospital, just in case the buyer needs to be committed right away.
I can't top the post and these 3 comments.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is, LOL!!!
This post is just plain awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhen I rewrote the Second Amendment to my liking, I turned "shall not be infringed" to "shall not be encumbered by an undue burden" for precisely this reason. My complete text for a new Second, btw, is: "The right of a citizen or legal resident to keep and bear arms shall not be encumbered by an undue burden."

But we don't have Universal health care, so why not simply give them a gun and send them out the back for pre-emptive action by the SWAT SQUADS in the two way shooting gallery. Saves innocent victims (the middle people saves on ER costs) and better trains our police, Sounds good to me ...what could go wrong?
There are valid reasons for owning a firearm (in military speak a gun is a cannon now THAT would slow down door to door salespersons , debt collectors, passing raping and pillaging hoards of Mongol).
