Gun Ownership: “It’s A Liberty Factor”
by Buck

Ok. If you are pro-gun ownership for one and all, including the mentally retarded, YOU ARE STUPID!
No ifs, ands or buts… YOU ARE STUPID!
Accept it as fact, for that is what you are - STUPID!

What this country needs is a national IQ test, say, every five years or so. If you fail, you leave.

Va. Tech Families to Lobby Legislature

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — As he sat in a hospital, watching blood ooze from his son Colin’s gunshot wounds, Andrew Goddard negotiated with a higher power: Let my son live, and I will do what I can to spare another parent this torture.

Colin survived, despite the four bullets fired into him by Virginia Tech gunman Seung-Hui Cho.

Now his father is making good on the deal: He and relatives of others killed or injured on the campus in Blacksburg will lobby for changes to the state’s gun and mental health laws during the General Assembly session that begins Jan. 9.
[...]

However, people can still buy guns through other means that require no background check in Virginia, such as gun shows where scores of people sell or swap firearms.
[...]

Joseph Samaha, whose daughter Reema was killed in the shootings, asked state Sen.-elect Robert Hurt: “What is the fear of someone having to go through the background check?”

Hurt responded that closing the loophole would infringe on a person’s right to possess a firearm.

“Is it a nuisance factor?” Samaha challenged.

Hurt paused, then said: “More important, it’s a liberty factor.”

The families will encounter many other lawmakers who share Hurt’s views, but they’re determined to forge ahead.

Liberty factor? What about the liberties of those killed, Mr. Hurt?

I suppose Mr. Hurt would also argue for no car seats for infants, for a free pass for drunk driving… etc. Hey, it’s all about ‘liberty’, right?

STUPID PEOPLE ought not be in positions of power.
