Yes. You read that correctly. You don’t need glasses. You damned near need a new country, however.
From FoxNews.com:
A Florida legislator wants anyone trying to buy ammunition to complete an anger management program first, in what critics say is the latest example of local lawmakers reaching for constitutionally-dubious solutions to the problem of gun violence.
The bill filed Saturday by state Sen. Audrey Gibson, D-Jacksonville, would require a three-day waiting period for the sale of any firearm and the sale of ammunition to anyone who has not completed anger management courses. The proposal would require ammo buyers to take the anger management courses every 10 years.
“This is not about guns,” Gibson said. “This is about ammunition and not only for the safety of the general community, but also for the safety of law enforcement.”
Gibson said she’s concerned with citizens stockpiling ammunition, potentially creating dangerous situations should those individuals ever come in contact with law enforcement agencies or criminals.
“It’s about getting people to think, really, about how much ammunition they need,” Gibson said. “It’s a step, I think, in a safer direction. It’s about getting people to think before they buy.”
First, let me state the obvious: this excrement is coming from a black female Demorat. That’s essentially all you need to know. I’d wager this empty suit is public-school educated, though Wikipedia claims she acquired a BA in Criminology from Florida State.
Allow me to proffer some more issues in “obviosity” (just made that up): I’m a cop. And I don’t fear people who may stockpile ammunition. These days I’d simply call them honest, good and true Americans responding to their corruptors in DC.
Apparently, however, her classes neglected to take American history into account and she resoundingly failed to read any of our nation’s foundational documents; you know, the basic ones: the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights. The Federalist Papers? She likely thinks those are what you roll around your dope for a nice, fat joint.
Though I’m not a fan of Michael Savage, he had it right back in 2005 when he stated, before anyone else, that Liberalism is a mental disorder.
There is no cure. And the disease becomes more rampant. The mentally ill, Demorats, Liberals, Progressives, Leftists — their mental disorders cannot be “cured.” It only becomes more catching, like a virulent bubonic plague, when Free Cheese is added to the mix.
As I’ve said many times, you simply cannot make crap like this up. Just when you think you’ve seen or heard the sickest of ideas from the Left, they manage to outdo themselves. It’s as though they not only possess what I call Historical Alzheimers — I’d submit purposely so — but they go out of their way to top each other, weekly, in terms of the most daft, inane, brain-dead, illogical, illegal and outright stupid ideas to craft into some form of law whose sole purpose is to remove more of your freedoms.
I’m guessing that Senator Gibson isn’t a “bad person” per se; she likely doesn’t set stray kittens on fire. But the Demorat culture and Leftism has clearly lobotomized her to the point where she cannot even recognize the documents that created this country. She needs a refresher course in BZ 101 in re the US Constitution and the real purpose behind its creation — positive vs negative rights.
A very brief review of my post:
Our current Constitution frames much of what we value in terms of what the government cannot do.
– The government cannot engage in unreasonable searches and seizures
– It cannot inflict cruel and unusual punishment
Thomas Jefferson said: “When once a republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil.“
Let that sink in and then percolate for a bit.
