I’ll trade you.

I’ll go along with that, if you’ll go along with my addendum:

1. Everybody who can pass a background check is REQUIRED to own a gun.
2. Any such person who cannot afford a gun will be provided one free of charge by the government.
3. Gun ownership is a requirement for any elected office.
4. Giving away, destroying, mutilating, or anything else that renders a gun unusable by the original owner shall be punished by a mandatory 15-year prison term.
5. Any person who cannot pass the handgun aptitude test shall be given free remedial lessons for at least 3 months.
6. There shall be no restriction on any form of carry of any type of weapon in any place whatsoever.
7. Anybody who calls the police at the sight of somebody calmly open carrying shall be given a 6-month prison sentence for misuse of emergency services.

Anyone who thinks I’m exaggerating about the utter freakiness of gun freaks missed a recent post in another thread:

I didn’t click “Find recent posts by Flyer.” Apologies for Flyer if this was parody. Pity for Flyer if it wasn’t.

I guess if it was required by law, I’d own one. However, he doesn’t say anything about having to own ammunition, and I’d probably keep it in a safe deposit box, since I have no real use for it and it’s a potential hazard to keep it around the house.
