The National Rifle Association is mad!
The powerful organization is urging lawmakers to pass legislation that will make it much easier for people to acquire guns.
“It’s ridiculous the hoops we make law abiding Americans jump through to get a weapon,” said an N.R.A. spokesman. “We force people to go to gun shows or even strain themselves by shopping on-line to get their weaponry protected by the Second Amendment. I don’t think our forefathers would stand for such ridiculous restraints coming between freedom lovers and semi-auto weaponry to protect ourselves from evil forces. So we want Congress to pass sensible laws like ‘Take A Gun, Leave A Gun’ that will make it easier for citizens to arm themselves!”
Take A Gun, Leave A Gun is an idea inspired by “take a penny, leave a penny” popular at many convenience stores. Rather than pennies, a basket would be used so that people could leave firearms for others, and take the weapons they need.
“It just makes sense for there to be a hassle-free way for citizens to arm themselves,” said the N.R.A. spokesman as he slapped a new clip into his Glock. When asked if Take A Gun, Leave A Gun might lead to more convenience store armed robberies, the spokesman became irate. “Look, if the guy or girl behind the counter ain’t packing some heat, what in the blue blazes do they expect?”
Lint Screen, you’re on the right track, but don’t stop there. It’s our government’s duty to ensure that gun manufacturers prosper so they’ll always be there when citizens choose to arm themselves. How about tax deductions for gun purchases?
That’s a great idea, Bill. I’m going to load my weapons, fire them into the air and do a jig to celebrate your genius!
