Background
Checkmate
Let
me make this as clear as I can to those
of you who think having a murder machine
around the house is a pretty sweet idea...
The President's proposed executive action
on gun control will
have this much effect on the average, law-abiding
person:
Zero.
Zip.
Nada.
Nothing.
Not a goddamn
thing.
"What?" I hear you cry? What if you want
to buy a machine gun?
<lewis black>
First, you don't
need a fucking machine gun! No one outside
of a war zone needs a fucking machine gun!
Enough with the fucking machine guns already!
</lewis black>
Second,
no single law-abiding American can purchase
one. You have to form a sort of
trust to buy a machine gun which means
no one person can own it. And that's
a loophole the President is hoping to close,
and more power to him.
So if want to buy a household full of murder
machines, the kind you're more likely to
use on a family member than a criminal,
go right ahead. Nothing currently can stop
you,
although
the prez's
new laws
will help stop the crazies and the known
criminals from buying them, and isn't that
the kind
of law that's worth supporting?

TV: ...and that's why I'll do everything
I can to expand background checks for
gun purchases.
Girl: What happens now, Mommy?
Mother: It means the NRA will now do
everything it can to keep guns in the
hands of murderers, thieves and lunatics.
If you think about it, ownership
of guns among the criminal class is
a right-to-work issue. Small wonder
conservatives want to spread the high-caliber
love around.
