…brought to us by the outstanding Senator from California, Dianne Feinstien.
Thesis:
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.) laid out the conditions of her proposed assault weapons ban Thursday, saying it would prohibit 158 specifically named military-style firearms.
Except:
We have tried to recognize the right of a citizen to legally possess a weapon. No weapon is taken from anyone.
The twist:
Instead, the bill protects hunters and sportsmen by protecting 2,200 specifically-named weapons used for hunting or sporting purposes.
Let me try to run the logic of this pretzel. We are proposing to uphold the Second Amendment via banning weapons [deemed unsuitable for law-abiding citizens]. But law-abiding citizens who already own high-capacity firearms can keep them because they are for certain specific purposes, i.e. hunting and other sporting engagements.
I would read into that last bit that Liberals will detach their proxy arm, PETA, to outlaw hunting and other similar sport through lawsuits at some point in the future.
Also, no hunting weapon has been used or ever will be used to commit a crime. There is no black market by which any citizen or non-citizen has or ever will purchase a firearm. Humanity is essentially good, perverted only through violent video games and movies. Non-citizens, such as Pancho Villa, have never committed a crime in the United States.
Okay. I think I understand their logic now.
Follow the same thought process to make sense of the following three oxymora. Feel free to add to the list:
Fixing illegal immigration by building a fence and/or passing new immigration reform laws and/or redefining the entire issue as a Path To Citizenship or Filling Jobs Americans Won’t Do.
Securing Pax Americana abroad by engaging in endless war, conspiracy and fomenting social and political unrest, particularly in the Near East.
Reducing spending by raising the debt ceiling.

We need to ban black plastic. That is the only thing that makes a gun a so called assault rifle. I think it’s a bit racist to ban only “Black Rifles”, I didn’t,t see one pink rifle on the list. We won the the revolution by having better rifles than the British. Really I think every CITIZEN should have a superior rifle to our military, something Israeli. The Second Amendment is the only thing standing between us and Syria. Make the President, the Senate, and Sidwell Friends School a “Gun Free Zone” and then we can talk; let them dial 911.
