One child chokes on a toy inside a German chocolate egg, and all chocolate eggs are banned from the United States. In this post I suggested that we make the eggs big enough to hide assault rifles so children, and I, could enjoy them.
On December 22, 2001, one crazy guy set a shoe on fire in an airliner. Since then, 1.73 million people take their shoes off at US airports every day. That’s about 10 billion pairs of shoes taken off at airports security lines since 2001.
In both of those cases, laws and regulations were passed quickly to stem the problem.
Yet, when we have a guy who buys an assault rifle and kills 50 people in a sweep and injures that many more, all Congress can offer is prayers?
Nobody on the street, other than law enforcement or the military, should have access to weapons of mass destruction. It’s pretty simple. And the second amendment – read all about it here – says nothing about weapons of mass destruction.
A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed…
Prayers?
Seriously?
Great posts, Norbert. Three years on from your original and are the prayers in Congress working?… Er, I think we know the answer there… 🙁
Thank you for showing that there is still intelligent life. I found your blog when I was looking for the Reagan picture..”gun, gun, gun….” Tim McCarthy is our long-time police chief here in Orland Park, incidentally.
