Things that made you frown today (Political Version)

THEY AREN'T PLAYING ALL THOSE ONLINE SHOOTER GAMES FOR NOTHING!

Now they just need to learn a cpr technique that keeps a person alive that was shot in the head!

Rick Santorum, former Senator and current world record holder at putting "kick me" signs on his own back, in response to March for our Lives:

"How about kids instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem, do something about maybe taking CPR classes or trying to deal with situations that when there is a violent shooter that you can actually respond to that."

But their little fingers are so good at plugging holes and we all know they're gonna get shot anyway. That sandwich baggie ain't just for sandwiches kiddo. Slap it on Sarah's sucking chest wound and tape it down with this "Disney Princess" medical tape. You want Jasmine or Mulan?

Well, I think the point is that taking something out of the bill of rights isn't going to be as easy as they seems to think.

Really? It is going to be hard to get 38 states to all agree to remove something from the Constitution? Lies! We all know all the States are on the same page!

I'm confused by this and apologize in advance if its related to some other post; but are you saying that Santorums point was a 2A defense because these kids are trying to get that amendment repealed?

There's already a Constitutional age limit on guns. Upping that limit to 21 or 25 won't touch the Bill of Rights at all.

There's already a Constitutional limit on the type of arms we can bear (rocket launchers, nuclear arms, etc.) Adding AR-15s to that category won't touch the Bill of Rights at all.

There's already a Constitutional system of background checks before the purchase of firearms. Extending that system to other points of sale won't touch the Bill of Rights at all.

AR-15 is just a style. It's just cosmetic changes to rifles. So, yes it would touch the bill of rights pretty heavily. What you would want to set a limit on is magazine capacity.

Did you know that AR doesn't stand for Assault Rifle?

I'm saying that starting small isn't the worst thing. CPR lessons should be taught in high school/middle school either way. The chances they get meaningless gun control passed is small. Their spokesperson seems to be a child that isn't even informed on the subject.
