The use of the term "modest proposal" is an attempt to hide the intent to pour sodium hydroxide down your throat with a big ear to ear grin.

As it stands today, I can't purchase a Glock 18, but my indoor range can rent it to me. It's not something I would purchase anyway. That is VERY different from thinking my personal property is going to be locked up out of my control. Unacceptable.
