From the morons at Salon: Want a license to carry? You should get shot first.

[Bill of Rights]

If liberals felt the same way about abortion they'd become extinct really fast. Just sayin'...

OK, I am going to have to either spin or buy a vowel.

FIFY

ETA: The "fix" reminds me slightly of Day The Earth Stood Still...

Bort! Klaatu Garada Nikto! (with a bit of poetic license applied)

 

[Hoosier45]

So do I need to be set on fire before I can buy a fire extinguisher?

 

[Birds Away]

NEWSFLASH: Liberals make no sense.

 

[PRasko]

I've taken a bullet, two in point of fact, and it's the reason why I carry.

 

[cbhausen]

I was going to say "ablation"... Only word I could think of that fit in the asterisks. Some interesting definitions there.

You need to have gun

I have friends, relatives and loved ones be gunned down.

He holds a master's in education from Johns Hopkins University and an MFA in creative writing from the University of Baltimore and teaches writing at Coppin State University. He was the winner of Baltimore magazine's "Best Writer" award in 2015.

My head just exploded.

Salon sets another gold standard for stupid with this suggested gun ownership requirement - twitchy.com twitchy.com

I only took one bullet, to the back, so I concur. Another reason why I carry too. Guess we're both qualified to carry.

Using thier criteria, I can own 2 full auto AK47s

Support gay marriage? You must take it up the gazoo from one of our certification experts first.

All right, you owe me a new keyboard. I just showered mine with Diet Pepsi.

 

[beararms1776]

That takes the cake as the stupidest thing I've read in years. I could no more crawl into the mind of the author than I could crawl into the mind of a mass murderer. Some of our species are truly sick in the head.

With mindsets like that, gives one all the more reason. Washington said it best.

This is pure Socialist Democrat thinking. Definition of Democracy ( or as the Founding Fathers referred to it - "mob rule") wherein "...the people know what they want and they deserve to get it - good and hard.." - H.L. Mencken.

I've been shot at and missed. Unlike a Democrat, I felt that was sufficient to arm myself. Hell, I didn't even wait to be shot at; I was robbed at gunpoint - THAT was when I started to carry what was (somewhat) legally allowed me at the time - a knife.

I'm not sure why this should surprise you, considering the state of "college" educations these days. Are our kids getting their money's worth? Oh Hell NO!

Yeah, I mean I get that the average college grad is likely still a moron. But a MASTER'S in writing? And now he TEACHES writing in a university? And can't grasp simple grammatical concepts that I mastered from nothing more than reading Tom Clancy as a kid?

I guess I need to adjust my standards.

 

[jamil]

It is being claimed that this is satire, ala A Modest Proposal.. I can see that, however, I can also see the anti gun side being just this stupid as well.

Whippersnapper.

 

[searpinski]

The worst part about this is that the writers are allowed to vote just like the rest of us. Sigh.

 

[jwh20]

If you want to be a "suicide bomber", you must FIRST, blow yourself up !!!!!

That is a suggestion that I could really get behind. From a safe distance at least!

 

[snowwalker]

Well at least I would qualify.
