So a new USA Today poll showed that only 49% favor Congress passing a new gun control law. So, as James Taranto pointed out, if we take Obama’s claims at face value (and who would doubt his integrity?), then we’ve had a 41 point drop in support for background checks in five days.
Wow, they really just face planted on this issue. At the beginning, a few of us were worried we’d be back to that annoying “assault weapons” ban and having to buy idiotic, half-solid plastic ten round magazines for our handguns. Then it was apparent that wouldn’t happen and they focused on pointlessly expanding background checks and we were all like, “Well, that might be minorly annoying.” And then they couldn’t even get that because everyone except for a few ninnies are wise to how useless this gun control nonsense is.
Who is a background check going to stop? Only a really dumb criminal would attempt to go through legal means to get a gun if he knew he’d fail the background check. And even if one is caught, what then?
“What? You won’t give me a gun? I guess I’ll give up trying to murder people and instead hug everyone.”
All except the laziest of criminals is going to try again until they find a way to get one of the hundreds of millions of guns floating around this country. It’s pointless to stop a criminal from getting a gun once; you have to stop him every time. And you can’t.
Trying to keep criminals from getting guns is pointless. And if you do that by disarming law abiding citizens, it’s also evil. If you want to prevent gun violence, work on the assumption the criminals already have guns. Pass laws aimed only at criminals like tougher sentences for any crime involving a gun. And make sure citizens can be armed so that being a violent criminal is a very dangerous thing.
And get rid of the idiotic “Gun Free School Zone” signs that basically say nothing but “here is a great place for a mass shooting.” These are the only logical options available. If your emotions keep you from seeing the logic, you need to excuse yourself from this issue because you’re unable to think straight on it.
(Because you’re G damned ^^^#@ing thieves! You Libertarians truly are the scum of the earth.)
Instead of Gun Free School Zone maybe we should put out “Brain Free Political Zone” around the Capitol and White House
Bacon to Rodney Dill!

I thought that was supposed to be just a Harvey thing?
@Marc – I got carried away in the moment.
“And make sure citizens can be armed so that being a violent criminal is a very dangerous thing.”
Now that Justice Robert’s opinion has paved the way, isn’t it time Congress passed a law requiring every American to purchase a gun, or pay a penalty– er, excuse me, a tax? I suggest calling it the “Affordable Personal Protection Act”.
In an article on Drudge just today it says the bombers killed the security guard because they needed a gun. If guns were as easy as they say they are to get,wouldn’t they have just run to their local pawn shop or illegal gun seller and bought one. The criminal types don’t seem to have a problem getting them. Laws only impact those who obey them, for those who don’t it is no more of an impediment than anything else.
@3 & 4 – Yeah, it was supposed to be just a Harvey thing, but I’m giving bacon on Frank’s & Basil’s posts, too because I think it’s awesome that you’re willing to go along with this goofy running gag, even if it’s not quite the way I had originally envisioned it.
The important thing is that we’re all having fun, and Carpenter has stormed off in a pouty huff.
Mission accomplished.
Yeah well don’t get too comfortable. I’ve stormed off in a pouty huff before but I came back. So it doesn’t always work out the way we hope ; )
@8 – Yeah, but when you storm off in a pouty huff, it’s kinda cute, and… well… the fellas ain’t complaining about the view 🙂
