Here's a very edgy and forward-thinking editorial video from the NRA's Billy Johnson, explaining that we need to change the way we think about guns. After all, since guns are something that everyone in America needs, we should treat them exactly like education, public recreation, and jobs, and make them a government priority, not something government tries to suppress. It's a fascinating "what if" that sounds like something a first-year composition teacher might receive from a student who spent all night doing "bong hits" and "rapping" with a roommate at Liberty University. If America were really serious about living up to its ideals, he says, it would
Sadly, here's the thing. Suppose we did pass an Affordable Guns Act, and require every household to obtain a gummint-approved gun, (with a subsidy, or maybe we just do 'em all for free -- what, 100M households * $500 == a mere $50B).
If we did this, and everyone complied, it would only increase the number of guns in the US by about 33%.
There is almost nothing we can do at this point. We are drowning in guns.
Somewhere in the matrix of crazy, he does mention having to demonstrate a need for a gun. I just hope that "The guy down the street doesn't like me, and I think he owns a gun" is not a valid reason.
We can start with the school mascots - instead of the Highland Hornets, La Cueva Bears and the West Mesa Mustangs, we would have the Highland Heckler & Kochs, La Cueva Berettas and the West Mesa Walthers.
Neither do they, that is the beauty of it. Their fears are amorphous and endless, and include anyone who doesn't look like OR think like OR sound like OR _____ like them.
I'd feel a lot more pity for how incredibly awful living with that irrational fear must feel if I wasn't also pretty sure I could fit into one or more of the categories of people they might decide to be afraid of while heavily armed.
Pretty sure I could tolerate Universal Gun Care before they could tolerate universal free abortions for anyone who wants them, universal voting at every post office for a month before every election date, universal rights for people to be paid a fair wage regardless of gender, sexual orientation, age, etc.
I'm really looking forward to my annual "Easter Gun Hunt" next year with my family. Those loveable little scamps always have such a big smile on their faces when they wander around the yard finding all the loaded guns I've hidden for them...
Instead of "mass shootings," we could call them "density reductions." Has a nice science-y sound to it.
"Woke up in a poopy mood" is also invalid, too.
Gross, I do not want to watch a video of that guy masturbating.
I liked it better as beer.
Well, I have to admit I was late to accept the de-planetization of Pluto.

NRA, or The Onion?
It's impossible to tell.

"freedom loving gunmen" with microscopic penises. FIFY
What could possibly go wrong?
People can use bullet proof vests (after testing of course) if they are some scary pants liberals about guns.
