Sen. Bob Casey: Easier to Get an AR-15 than a Coronavirus Test
Breitbart.com ^ | 3/13/2020 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 03/14/2020 3:29:14 PM PDT by rktman

On Friday Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) tweeted that it is easier to get an AR-15 rifle than a coronavirus test.

He did not outline the steps for getting a coronavirus test, but the process for getting an AR-15 involves:

Going to store to find rifle Showing proper ID to a retailer Undergoing an FBI background check Undergoing waiting period (where applicable) For example, there is a 10-day waiting period in California.

On February 19, 2018, Breitbart News reported CBS News’ claim that it was easier to buy an “assault rifle” than anti-diarrhea medicine in bulk in Florida. They made this claim days after a the Parkland high school shooting, in which an attacker killed 17 people with a rifle he acquired via background check.

The acquisition of such a rifle in Florida involves a three-day waiting period.

Has anybody with the Coronavirus been shot by anyone with the Coronavirus, using an AR-15? Just asking.

Well on one hand there’s no 10-day waiting period after approval for a coronavirus test, and on another AR-15s were invented decades ago and actually exist in similar numbers to demand.

I don’t know how it is in Pennsylvania, but I’ve already been in contact with my doctor here in Maryland. If I develop any respiratory symptoms, no matter how slight, or any fever, no matter how small, I’m to call him immediately for further instructions.

If my symptoms are mild, I’m to come to his office (they’re prepared to receive infected patients) and be tested at his office. He’ll send the test to LabCorp that day, which is up and running with their testing. My doctor is already doing this.

If my symptoms are more serious - ER. He’ll call ahead.

I really can’t think of a more expeditious, rational approach.

He did. He got an AR-14 and he's a star in a new NRA Ad. You really have to watch the video, it's eviscerates Biden.

An AR-15 is connected to aboujt 14 deaths per year. How many deaths per year will COVID-19 be connected to?

Answer: A lot more than an AR-15. A lot less than car crashes, and deaths due to alcohol, deaths due to much sugar, deaths due to promiscuous sex.

People should be able to get tests on Amazon for $20 (That’s what they cost)

I did find some on ebay for $831. Not sure if that included shipping.

Buying an over the counter medication containing pseudo-ephedrine is about the same as buying an “assault rifle”

Great point. The a-hole makes an asinine statement once a term (promoting abortion and hating guns) and the typical idiotic voter (mostly women) puts him right back in. He is absolutely worthless and would be nothing without his late father. Furthermore,it seems like the GOP is just floundering and Harrisburg is being infested with total swamp scum.

Damn, why can’t all come up with such brilliance.

The test has to be constructed before it can be rolled out.

No one bought an AR-15 before it was made either.

It’s easier to kill your pre-born baby than get a coronavirus test.

If Bobby Casey had a brain, he’d be dangerous.
