Missouri Lawmaker: Treat Guns Like Abortion
Missouri State Rep. Stacey Newman wants the same kind of restrictions for guns that Republicans have for abortions. She told me the gun lobby as “purchased the Republican Party.”
She would require future gun owners to speak to physicians and religious leaders before they buy a weapon, and gun buyers would have to travel 150 miles to get a gun, the average distance women have to travel to get abortions in her state.

Based on the headline, I thought she wanted everyone to be able to get an abortion whenever they wanted. But I guess that would be true if it said “treat abortions like guns.”

As a MO resident I can appreciate the irony but I don’t think it helps when we’re as crazy as they are.

I don’t think it’s crazy. Just think, if somebody who wanted to purchase a gun had to get permission from their physician and/or religious leader and had to travel 150 miles to purchase a firearm, given how lazy people are in this country, the amount of gun related deaths would plummet.
.
However, I would go a step further and demand potential gun buyers to undergo an anal probe – just because.

We have the contest between Texas and Florida for who’s the most craziest. In a smaller scale we also have the contest between Kansas and Missouri for the most craziest Midwestern state.

For the sin of exclusion..you will suffer the wrath of the wild Okies

We have a lot of Okie descendants in California. Most of them live in the Central Valley.

Grapes of Wrath syndrome.
Boltorama December 9th, 2015 at 20:54
There’s even a town called Okieville. But like the Great Depression a lot of people are struggling to make ends meet there because of the severe drought in the state.

After I go through all that, will Obamacare pay for my gun?
bpollen December 10th, 2015 at 04:24
Why? Obamacare wouldn’t pay for an abortion (it’s against the law) so why should it buy you a gun?
Kenneth James Abbott January 15th, 2016 at 11:33
Sure! That’s a wonderful idea–let’s treat guns like we treat abortions!
First, of course, we need to direct more than half a billion a year in government funding to the NRA. Every time there’s a shooting, the President can get on the news and declare that he’s thankful for all the hard work the NRA does.
Let’s not forget that if the NRA is caught doing something like disposing of “hot” guns for criminals in LiveAction stings, or helping to defend sex-slavery, or selling the body parts of people killed in gun crimes, the Left will jump all over themselves to protect the NRA, and the president and Congressional Democrats will ensure that they never suffer repercussions–including and especially cuts in that cool half-a-bil per year. Government officials such as, say, a governor of Kansas who make a mockery of the law by destroying evidence against the NRA can be rewarded with high positions in the Department of Health and Human Services.
You won’t even be allowed to refer to the NRA as a gun organization. After all, gun sales will only be 3% of what they do–and no, you can’t question that number.
Showing pictures of gunshot wounds or of guns will be considered “hate speech” and not allowed in various places, including most college campuses. And if you have a problem with guns, then gun dealerships will be off-limits; if you protest within thirty feet of one, even on a public sidewalk, you can be hauled off and arrested (indeed, we can even bust you for speaking too loudly!). Speaking of college campuses, anti-gun demonstrations there can be cancelled, attacked, vandalized, or otherwise silenced with impunity, and students who vandalize and destroy newspapers publishing anti-gun sentiments can be praised by the college administration for their “courage.”
Government officials will be allowed to get away with nearly anything, so long as they’re “good on guns.” Hell, if a government official is caught groping women without their permission and cheating on his wife, prominent feminists will announce that all women should be lined up around the block with their “presidential kneepads” to thank him for keeping guns legal…. Of course, we’ll tell you that we want guns to be “safe, legal, and rare,” but even measures like demanding we put a safety on our discount rocket-launchers will be met with a level of indignance normally reserved for an episode of Jerry Springer–such people, after all, hate women and want to control healthcare and are just like the Taliban and ISIS (indeed, ISIS has engaged in abortions and gun-confiscation–but that’s an argument for another day….).
Anyone who even suggests that buying a gun is somehow a morally inferior decision to not buying a gun will be excoriated, and the ACLU will fight continuously for the right of 12-year-olds to buy guns without their parents’ permission or knowledge (meanwhile, the NRA will keep right on doingit even though it’s illegal–but you won’t be able to stop them). No more extensive, invasive background checks asking whether you’ve ever smoked a joint in your life or that may deny you a gun because you got the address wrong of a place you lived at 15 years ago, no more having to personally get permission from the FBI, no more vindictive newspapers publishing your name and address out of sheer hateful petulance.
Men who think their girlfriends should be armed will discuss ways to shame, guilt, or coerce their girlfriends into buying guns. Others will simply beat their girlfriends until they go get a gun. Even the NRA’s own propaganda wing will admit that a large majority of women who get guns do so under coercion–and women who normally think men coercing their girlfriends is a bad thing will simply smile and nod.
But we’re not done yet. We’re not just going to goto disgusting lengths to protect gun dealers from having to hear anything that’s not praise, we’re also going to set up a chorus of worship to continually remind them how selfless, how brave, how kind, how respectful, how absolutely WONDERFUL they are. We’ll set up a “Thank a Gun Provider” day in March, and film fawning “documentaries” about how wonderful they are. We’ll ignore the fact that every business in the world gets death threats and act like every time someone threatens to kill a gun provider it’s proof of an evil plot, and that each gun provider stares into the face of death everyday because of those horrible, evil, twisted people who dare to believe that guns just might be bad. Of course, if a few of them are caught murdering people, or if we find a few gunshops that are utter houses of horror, with body parts collected on display, bloodstains on the floors, and generally looking like the set of a B horror movie after the film crew got drunk and had a fight with the props… then shut up. You don’t get to talk about that.
Treat guns like abortion? When can we start?
