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

[BFP]

I've been shot multiple times with staple guns, does that count?

No, but you are now qualified to be a secretary.

 

[actaeon277]

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.

Whippersnapper.

I read "Hunt for Red October" while on a submarine. Do I get bonus credit?

Only if it was a Russian submarine and the commander had a strangely Scottish accent.

American. And he kinda reminded me of the henpecked shop owner on Little House on the Prairie.

Perhaps in the "hard sciences" like math and engineering and biosciences, the core subject matter is being taught, but not anywhere else. As I've said before, I have a friend who has a Masters in Business - and is an exceptionally intelligent and level-headed individual - who couldn't (when I worked for him) string a coherent paragraph together without an error. When I was in college in 1969, he wouldn't have gotten out of Freshman English Composition. And he isn't alone amongst the bosses I've had in not being able to write.

I took fire from the business end of those bb guns that you pump up for power. Does that count? It broke the skin and i had to dig it out with a knife.
I really hope that counts as my lifetime is in the mail already, i would hate to have to return it.

Maybe This Liberal Who Wants Gun Owners Shot Should Be In Prison - Bearing Arms - Anti-Gun Hysteria, D. Watkins, Gun Control, Maryland

So, turns out the guy might be a criminal.

Even if he obtained the guns legally, he still owes getting shot. Otherwise he'd be a hypocrite.

So when's the INGO meet and greet and shoot each other BBQ? Maybe some low power .25 auto rounds...we'll need to make sure some of our resident EMT's are there.

With .25s? Nah, we can apply our own band-aids.

 

[Thor]

Well, the frames tend to be kind of small and someone might get bit by the slide...

 

[GIJEW]

Want a driver's license, you must get run over first....

...or pilloried in a windshield with a hang over

What are the rules going to be? No head shots?....no full auto? If one of the rules is going to be .25acp only I'd like to suggest a group buy for a firearm in that caliber, since most of us probably do not own one. Which firearm would be a good candidate?

 

[ghuns]

As a participant in many BB gun wars in my younger days, I can attest to how casually "rules" for such endeavors are followed. No thanks.

 

[calcot7]

Well at least I would qualify.

Yes, I am also, already qualified, but I would still like to participate in the INGO shootout if there is one. I need a good reason to buy a .25 caliber pistol.

Salon needs to run a list of civil rights and the test/tax you must pass/pay to exercise that right.

Next up, voting.

He is an admitted criminal. Listen to his interview on NPR.

Regardless, he owes us two bullets.

 

[ghuns]

Next up, voting.

Whenever someone brings up training/testing requirements for firearms ownership, I always bring up the prospect of a US history/IQ test voters.

Ignorant/dumb voters have done far more harm to our country than guns ever have or will.
