Freshman state Rep. Jason Brodeur wants to tell doctors what they can say — in their own offices. Specifically, he wants to criminalize questions about guns.To establish context, we're talking about the standard talk where pediatricians check the list of potential dangers, from cleaning chemicals to pets, from choking hazards to swimming pools. Some pediatricians ask parents if there is a handgun in the house, and if it is secured. Brodeur is apparently so offended by this that he wants to make it punishable for up to five years in prison and up to $5 million.
As long as he doesn't take himself too seriously or anything.
By the way, the article tells you that you only pay $15,000 if you DO kill someone, whether you use a gun or not. :P

We can't have a national dialogue about gun control so lets do the complete opposite!? Fuck that asshat.
What the hell. let's just go ahead and amend the 2nd Amendment to read, A completely unregulated militia, being necessary to defend against the threat of Negroes, Jews, Ay-Rabs, Catholics, Socialists, Immigrants, Anchor Babies, and Fascist Democrats to our Beloved Freedom and Christian Way of Life, the right of Real Americans to keep and bear pistols, shotguns, rifles, muskets, assault carbines, grenade launchers, machine guns, fully-automatic weapons, potato guns, street sweepers, slugthrowers, zip guns, tasers, hand cannons, paintball markers, siege weapons, and phased plasma rifles in the 40 Watt range, and all ammunition and accessories for the aforementioned, and all advocacy for keeping, bearing and using the aforementioned, shall not be infringed.
ReplyDeleteWhy not? That's where we're headed, anyway.
Link fixed.
ReplyDeleteScrew you bughunter, now I want a phased plasma rifle.
ReplyDeleteIt helps if you read the italicized part aloud, in the voice of Maj. T. J. 'King' Kong of Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I've never watched that movie. I really should.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes you most definitely should. It's been too long for me, as well.
ReplyDeleteThe actor in question, Slim Pickens, also played Mr. Taggart in Blazing Saddles, with the same drawl. In fact, he had the same drawl in every movie -- even Disney's The Black Hole.
