I’ll keep this short. I’m against gun control. Why? We tried it in Australia. By punishing law abiding citizens, we empowered criminals. Australia was safer in the 1950s when guns were treated as tools.
But I digress. Here’s another unique pro-gun argument made by the satirist P.J. O’Rourke in 2010’s Don’t Vote! It Just Encourages The B******s (page 165, if you must know):
Gun ownership is crucial to the preservation of American freedoms. We may have to shoot Democrats. It happened in 1861 and it could happen again. Just kidding. Sort of. But there are other important arguments in favor of gun ownership. What with the economy being like it is, I call my .38 Special “the MasterCard of the future.”
Some win, others lose in a pro-gun culture, for sure.
Another example: America’s NRA actively empowered African-Americans to fight racist DemoKKKrats.

Gun control is kinda like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober peple to own cars.
bkmk
Nice. He is a funny writer.
That’s a perfect way of putting the Democrat’s position.
I have a neighbor who is a gun control nut. He wants NO guns in the U.S. except for law enforcement who would be assigned one when they report for work. I asked him once if he was soooo against gun control, he should put a sign in his yard stating that position. I got silence for about a full minute and then he said,” yeah, but criminals would know that I didn’t have any guns and I could be more of a target”. I rest my case, your Honor.
Ha-ha. He sure knows how to get his point across.
When and where do we start?
OH MY GOSH!! I love it! That is absolutely hysterical!
Of course gun control will solve all of the world’s problems. After all, it will prevent an armed rebellion against me. And that is important. When I come in with my draconian laws, nobody will be able to fight back as they won’t have guns. Except criminals, who are my servants anyway.
It was the first thing I thought of when I read your post. :)
I made a sign for my husband gun room where he loads bullets and does other gun related stuff except shooting. The sign read:
OWNER IS UNARMED PLEASE DO NOT ROB OR HURT HIM
heh heh :D
He has to laugh... seriously. That is funny!
Perfect edging on their lawn, too.
He laughed but he didn’t put it outside the house. ;D
I was just admiring that myself. We’re probably going to be moving into a subdivision where they’ll expect me to do crap like that and I’m completely clueless on the subject, having grown up in the city.
I bet he complimented your meatloaf and asked if there was anything to do to help you out around the house!! (you know, just to make sure he was on your good side!)
We may soon have to disarm Islamists in the US and constantly search mosques to insure that they are armory free.
He probably did something special to stay on my good side, can’t remember now. He is a fabulous cook and makes a mean meatloaf himself.
