Over the last day, an effort to nationally ban the "bump stocks" which apparently enabled the automatic fire by the amoral Las Vegas monster obvious to anyone who knows about guns, has gained much support. I'd certainly agree with strict regulation denying these devices to all but the disabled for whom they may well have been originally designed and one other threatened population but I'm a member of the common sense majority in the real America and a loyal NRA guy.
Alas though, I'm shocked, shocked I say, that anyone on the American left would advance such a measure. We know how adamantly opposed leftists are to any proposal from those with the temerity to unforgiveably do as much as hint at anything which has even a ghostly chance of "offending" any of the "protected classes" the left cherishes and patronizes and matronizes too. Why, radicals are the people who would ban Christmas because it might trouble animists. The left should be loath to offend the disabled. For shame, leftists, that you would advocate anything which denies any politically approved group all opportunities to live lives strictly and measurably equal in every technical, material, emotional , legal and experiential way! The other group for whom you display your breezy disregard is one for which you have no respect anyway. That is rural southerners for whom an ever increasing invasion by vicious wild pigs is creating ever more lethal possibilities in the woods. You would say, "well, just stay out of the woods" and that's to be expected from ignorant, culturally elite snobs. But reality is that many people in that area (and by the way, the hogs are heading for the Eastern suburbs) must have automatic weapons for protection against multitudinous herds of these creatures, which do not always go down with one hit. But then, you laud artists who use taxpayer's money to create crucifixes immersed in urine and images of Santa's elves having sex; you casually scorn the religious values which inform the lives of most of the common sense majority, so I suppose you'd be loath to identify with rural people anywhere.And we know you have no problem vilifying Christians, especially Catholics; you are "selective" after all, in your condemnation of "discrimination".
Look, I have a proposal to remedy this situation. K.I.S.S. to be sure. Some radicals ( and ,yes, many people of good will, against whom my sarcasm is not directed) suggest ( and that word has a more forceful meaning to those of totalitarian convictions) that we look for factors common to all mass shooters, such as, maybe, use of certain prescription drugs. Despite the "inconvenience" this might cause the millions, including many in law enforcement, who responsibly use such rigorously screened remedies, "if it saves one life its worth it!" Pish tosh - I have a far simpler thought. Since we know for sure that all mass shooters must have trigger fingers, why the solution is obvious. Pass a Federal law requiring all adult Americans to undergo, at government expense, amputation of the first two joints of their trigger fingers. No discrimination now! From revered 1930's one room school house teachers to Jailhouse Jake serving life without parole, under the surgeon's knife you go. Sorry about the fact that 99.99999% of you would never consider mass murder anyway. I mean, that will be alot more effective and easily confirmable than the hassle of going after the hundreds of millions of guns obstinately and ,well, resolutely, retained by nonetheless lawful Americans, is it not so?
If you believe I am capable of serious thought, please consider this: the moral and spiritual vacuum recklessly fostered by the left, which excuses personal responsibility and convinces the hideously insane that they have justification to slaughter, is the true cause of mass shootings. Jack
