QOTD -- Our National Gun

 

"... It is just such a relief to know that the people serving in our legislature asked themselves, 'What comfort can we bring to the parents who wonder every day whether this will be the day they get the most horrible call of their lives? What can we do for the children who have to practice active shooter drills in a place they should be able to learn in safety? What are we going to do for the hundreds of thousands of Americans traumatized by unthinkable violence?' and immediately replied, 'We will declare it patriotic!'

"Instead of screaming with terror, we will scream with recognition. That’s our national gun! That’s the one! Of course.

"That way, it won’t feel like a horrible mistake. It will feel, almost, like we’re doing this on purpose." -- satirist Alexandra Petri, writing about the bill (HR 1095), introduced by fascist Republican ammosexuals Reps. Barry Moore (AL), Andrew S. Clyde (GA), Lauren Boebert (CO), and "sick puppy" George Santos (NY), that would make the AR-15 America's national gun.  We wrote about one of those crackpots, Rep. "Bury" Moore, and gun- humping suckers who think this is an effective way to protect their "Second Amendment rights" that they imagine are in imminent, perpetual danger of being taken away (much as the grifting National Rifle Rampage Association and their coin- operated Republican pols have been urgently warning them for decades --"send money now!").  It's a dark irony, though, that our American culture is already de facto branded by its addiction to guns, particularly military- grade weapons like the AR-15 that can efficiently slaughter innocents by the dozen.  We don't need any law to tell us:  it's already our "national gun."

BONUS:  Jimmy Kimmel has a nickname for the four fascist Republicans who introduced the bill.

AL Congressman: Make AR-15 The National Gun

In the midst of daily mass shootings from coast to coast, one sick Congressman thinks we should declare the AR-15 assault-style rifle the "national gun of America." Alabammy gun humper Rep. Barry "Bury" Moore announced earlier this week that he was introducing legislation to that effect while at a Troy, AL gun shop named "Family Firearms," probably because the name "Kid Killer Firearms" was too specific. According to the report:

"The House has not been given the full text of the bill, according to congressional records, but the legislation would 'declare an AR-15 style rifle chambered in a .223 Remington round or a 5.56x45mm NATO round to be the National Gun of the United States.'"

That's mighty specific, Rep. Ammosexual. Points off for mentioning that globalist NATO group causing problems for Mother Russia!  

Sonny Parker, owner of Family Firearms, thanked Moore for his Second Amendment stance and the bill.

'Every day we are battling those in Washington trying to take away our Second Amendment rights,' Parker said in a statement. 'We’re extremely thankful for men like Congressman Barry Moore who are willing to go to war for us, stand up for our Second Amendment rights and battle those who continue to take those away from us.'"

Of course the bill is purely a piece of macabre symbolism, with no effect on gun laws. It comes while some Republican member of Congress are wearing silver AR-15 pins on their lapels, instead of the American flag.

Death merchants like Sonny Parker and coin-operated Republicans like "Bury" Moore are happy to wallow in the increasing carnage created by gun violence at the hands of the disturbed, the criminal and the followers of fringe ideologies. Moore, who will vote against women's reproductive rights and voting rights legislation, cluelessly proclaimed, “One rule to remember: any government that would take away one right would take away them all.” He should know.
