I’ll just go ahead and admit that I snagged both these examples from Claire’s Sunday post, which may make me something less than mighty…
“I’m a metrosexual who knows nothing about guns, so you yokels shouldn’t carry guns.”
In the writer’s universe, this logic seems to work perfectly. Even the CCW instructor wondered what he was doing in the class…
As the instructor signed my certificate of shooting proficiency, he asked a legitimate question: “You’ve never fired a gun before today. Why do you want to carry one around?”
I’m guessing it was so he could write this dumb article criticizing the system that permits a clueless eloi like him to get a carry license. The article is really very funny in that it would be practically libelous if the writer hadn’t been describing himself. What a maroon.
“Given that the system allows me — lacking firearm experience — to get a license, would you be comfortable if we sat with each other in class, upon learning I’m secretly carrying a gun?”
Actually, son, I’d be perfectly cool with that. Might get a little nervous if you unholstered it. But by your logic, I shouldn’t be allowed near cars because I can’t drive like Mario Andretti. Don’t they teach English in school anymore? ‘Unskilled’ isn’t synonymous with ‘irresponsible.’ Look it up.
But of course for industrial-grade gun control chuckles we must go straight to the top.
White House: No idea why Americans are buying so many guns
When was the first time some wag called Obama “America’s #1 gun salesman?” I don’t remember, but I’m guessing it was early in his first term. Apparently his talking monkey never heard about it, though…
President Obama’s spokesman said Thursday that the record number of Americans seeking to buy guns in recent weeks is “a tragedy” that the White House is at a loss to explain.
“The more that we see this kind of violence on our streets, the more people go out and buy guns,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. “That is both ironic and tragic.”
The FBI conducted 185,345 firearms background checks on Black Friday, the most ever during a single day. The record number of gun sales came two weeks after the Islamic State’s terrorist attacks in Paris, but before the terrorist massacre in San Bernardino, California.
Asked why he thinks so many Americans are buying guns, Mr. Earnest replied, “I don’t know, I really don’t.”
That’s funny, Josh. Because I’m not a tenth as well- heavily-educated as you, and I know exactly why.
ETA: Apparently that discussion went on quite a bit longer than Josh Earnest likely intended.
Pretty simple, really . . .
“I don’t know, I really don’t.”
There it is, out in the open . . . the position of the entire administration.
“the position of the entire administration.”
On EVERYTHING.
Yes, that’s what I intended.
