By Michael Z. Williamson at Political Humor:
- That the best way to avoid an accidental shooting is to stay completely ignorant of guns and never go near them, just like the safest way to avoid an accidental drowning is to stay completely ignorant of swimming and never go near water.
- That it is reasonable for California to have a minimum 2 year sentence for possessing but not using an assault rifle, and reasonable for California to have a 6 month minimum sentence for raping a female police officer, and probation for a minor crime such as molesting your children.
- That gun safety courses in school only encourage kids to commit violence, but sex education in school doesn’t encourage kids to have sex.
- That we must get rid of guns because a deranged lunatic may go on a shooting spree at any time, but anyone who owns a gun out of fear of such a lunatic is paranoid.
- That banning guns works, which is why New York, DC, and Chicago cops need guns against armed criminals.
- That a handgun, with up to 4 switches and controls, is far too complex for the typical adult to learn to use, as opposed to an automobile which only has 20.
- That handguns are useful only for murder, which is why the police and military define them as defensive weapons.
- That rifles with pistol grips are assault weapons, just like vehicles with racing stripes are sports cars.
