Come, Let Us Celebrate-Part 2



On second thought, I prefer this sentiment as a response to the Askholes.

Come, Let Us Celebrate



Today is National Ask Day.

I thought I'd commemorate it with a time-saving window sign.

Why We Can't Allow Guns in Bars

[Use BugMeNot to bypass registration]

We can't allow guns in bars because drunks will kill each other in fights.

We need laws like those in Evanston, IL, which not only prevent people from having guns in bars, but from having guns entirely.

Just ask Evanston Mayor Lorraine Morton, who responded to a bar shooting in Evanston by closing the bar (she's also the "Liquor Commisioner").

"'Nobody in Evanston has any business with a gun, let alone shooting anyone,' she said."

We see how well your edicts work, Commissar Morton.

Thank you for telling us our business and defining our rights.

"If you don't have the fireworks to alter, you don't have a problem"

Bakersfield, CA just banned "Piccolo Petes."

Why?

Because some morons put "the explosive charges from Piccolo Petes into a carbon dioxide canister, placing them inside a watermelon and lighting a fuse."

A man was killed.

So now manufacturers are liable not only for misuse of their product, but for deliberate alteration. By adopting this theory, it's hard to think of any product in the world that cannot be used to construct a lethal device.

Typically, the reporter is ignorant, not a watchdog, but a mere cheerleader for the state, referring to "safe and sane" fireworks as "explosive devices ready to be tampered with." If they were explosive devices,BATFU would be all over them.

As with "gun control," don't think the motive is to just ban whistlers.
