Gun Control

The Constitution does not say “everybody should own multiple guns and carry them around everywhere.”

And if it did say that, then the Constitution would be wrong.

Perhaps, but notice that this one had at least six or more perpetrators. It’s not like it was just one person mowing down everyone around them on a whim.

Perhaps the proper analogue might be to make a medical record of a very, very precise measurement of their penis.

I just think it ought to be very important that the government know exactly what they’re compensating for, and how much. :wink:

To be clear, it’d have to be very clinical, with plenty of noncommittal "uh-huh"s and so forth. Oh, and with the doctor required to present information on other options to buying a gun, like Viagra.

When could always stop teaching basic science! Then our kids won’t do mass shootings!

That jackass should consider that maybe the reason people are turning away from religion in this country is the constant barrage of hideously stupid comments by “religious” “leaders.” Perhaps he should keep his fucking mouth shut.

Some time ago I did library research on various kinds of non-invasive tests of the mechanical properties of skin and soft tissue (for a bedsore project). One reference was a master’s thesis on a “penile erection tonometer,” a kind of band worn guess where that measured turgidity. The thesis was by a guy whose initials were M.Y., so the thing was referred to as MY PET.

Remember when Walmart announced they were pulling video games from their stores in response to the increase in mass shootings?

Apparently they’ve wised up:

This is actually something as Wal-Mart is\was the place to buy ammo as it is often much cheaper.

I knew a few folks in Texas who would check out the ammunition that was available anytime they were in a Wal-Mart and buy as many cases of caliber X as they could.
