State Representative Beth McCann (D-Denver) expressed disappointment over having to withdraw her bill aimed at preventing “dangerous persons” from legally acquiring firearms. Under the proposed bill, the names of persons determined to be unworthy of owning firearms could have been confidentially entered onto a national registry and thereby blocking them from purchasing these weapons.
“The beauty of my proposal is that the doctors, nurses, and counselors blacklisting these threats would be protected from potential retaliation for doing what they felt was necessary for public safety,” McCann boasted. “The nuts that would’ve been systematically barred from ever obtaining a gun would’ve never known why.”
McCann maintains that “the desire to own a gun is, by itself, a likely marker for mental illness. In a sane world, the mere act of attempting to purchase a gun would be sufficient evidence to deny a person access to it.” In the Representative’s “sane world” the government would own all firearms and only authorized personnel would be permitted to carry these weapons.
In related news, US Representative Diana DeGette (D-Colo) rebutted contentions that citizens need the right to bear arms for self-defense. “The average person isn’t competent to use firearms to defend himself,” DeGette insisted. “The professional criminal is likely far more skilled. Crime victims are better off relying on the mercy an assailant is more likely to show if they don’t resist. Also, if police show up while the crime is still in progress their task will be simpler—just shoot the one with the gun.”

Nazi bit*h!

You almost got me...
Let’s see now . . . Our own army is now supposed to consider Christians as terrorists . . . put 1 and 1 together, and I can see the libtard legislation considering all Christians as being mental defectives and not worthy of gun permits.
Can’t really see what would stop these bastards from that conclusion.
hahaha! these are sooo good! well done, well done!
Thanks for the morning grin John. Good one.
Hah! I caught the scent of satire this time and scrolled up and checked the source this time BEFORE my blood pressure hit quad digits and I fired off a pissed-off rebuttal! I’m getting quicker!
Is this “Truth or Trash”?
Hard to tell this time. Great satire, just a little too close to accurate, producing nervous laughter & whistling past the graveyard. There really are stupid people in elective office out there.
Truth is always stranger than fiction. If you’d dreamed up that wacky legislator who thought magazines are thrown away when they run out of bullets, the satire would’ve fallen flat as too fantastical.
Anyway, keep up the good work. You do more to reveal liberals’ inner thoughts than just about anyone. Like Chuck Asay does with his cartoons.
This whole topic is perverted.
We have a Constitution that is supposed to be the law of the land.
There are too many slippery slopes here.
Let’s just take the metally ill issue.
Suppose a woman is raped by a home invader.
No gun to defend herself with.
After the ordeal, she has counseling to help her get over it.
Now, she has a record of psychiatic counseling and is prevented from owning a firearm, because it labels her as having meltal problems.
This is exactly the person who needs and should own a gun.
The democrips don't like the Constitution in their way of establishing the democrip police state. Soi they just fabricate lie after lie to characterize their oppression as enlightened social change.
“The beauty of my proposal is that the doctors, nurses, counselors, [& patriots] blacklisting these threats would be protected from potential retaliation for doing what they felt was necessary for public safety [& the health & welfare of the nation]..... "the nuts that would’ve been systematically barred from ever obtaining [election to] a gun political office would’ve never known why.”
Why don’t you put SATIRE in the header?
“The nuts...would have never known why.”
Typical dangerous liberal thinking that is due process. Liberals are fascists.
She is a nut that should be locked up for public safety.
Thats what makes it so bad, this country is now so effed up with pc you read things like this and it doesnt surprise people that some lib could have actually said it.
NOTHING in that article is implausible.
That is my point about posts from this site. It’s just rude not to put Satire in the header of something like this.
How about “April Fool!”
