"First, we ban cheap handguns, because everybody is afraid of street crime.
"Next, we ban military-type automatic rifles, because nobody needs a machine gun for hunting.
"Then, since nobody can buy cheap handguns, they won't want to move up to more expensive handguns, so we can ban ALL handguns except for those used by military and police. And we make the soldiers and cops turn theirs in to an armory when they go off duty." (You must remember, this guy and this audience hated American soldiers and policemen almost as much as they hated the NRA.)
"Then, because a true sportsman only needs one shot, we ban everything except single-shot rifles and shotguns.
"And if we do this, then in about five years, all the deer hunters and duck hunters will get fed up and quit, and there will be so few gun owners left that we can go ahead and finish the job, and ban all privately owned guns in America!"
Audience applauds wildly.
And that's about when I started to realize that Madison was not the town for me....
Madison, WI?
I try to circumnavigate that town, being uncomfortable even on I90/94. I'm afraid the political correctness may attack me in my vehicle. Sometimes I just can't avoid it though. Hold my breath and drive by.
