No, come to think of it it’s been done.
But still, some things are so evil and at the same time so remarkably silly and pointless that they really deserve recognition. Case in point: S. 147: A bill to establish minimum standards for States that allow the carrying of concealed firearms. Because nothing says “we hate you and don’t want you making decisions for yourself” like proposing a law that removes the power of decision from people you hate, I guess.
This one is a fairly typical example of the “look what I can wish I could do to you” mindset of certain of our employees:
Prognosis
9% chance of getting past committee.
1% chance of being enacted.
Makes me wonder why we don’t fire those people. Seems like a reasonable proposal for reducing government waste.
Codrea calls this one the We Intend To Do Everything In Our Power To Prevent You From Being Able To Protect Yourself Act of 2013, which seems too honest. Good name otherwise, though…
