Congress Wants Terrorists To Buy More Guns!

The U. S. congress is up in arms over the notion that terrorist suspects might be prohibited from buying guns and explosives. Some one in congress had the audacity to suggest that perhaps persons listed on the terrorist watch list should not be allowed to purchase guns, ammo, and explosives. Ouch!

Isn't it enough that we prohibit these folks from boarding planes? Why on earth would we want to stop them from buying guns and bullets and bomb making material? Just think of how that would utterly destroy an American's right to bear arms!

Everyone should have the right to buy guns and ammo and bomb making materials. In fact everyone ought to be required to do so. Our basements and attics and the trunks of our cars should be loaded with these items. Our five-year-olds should be openly carrying on the school bus. Teachers should have at least three concealed weapons in the classroom. And every congressman should be issued a bazooka when entering the halls of congress. Clearly, our founding fathers intended such behavior, expected it, demanded it.

NEXT: An in depth discussion on the proper way to discuss with your children how to sleep with their guns; focus will be on the acceptable missionary position.
