George Carlin quote (I had to read this one twice)

[Playinghardball]

"This has got to be the only country in the world that could ever come up with a disease like bulimia; gotta be the only country in the world where some people have no food at all, and other people eat a nourishing meal and puke it up intentionally. This is a country where tobacco kills four hundred thousand people a year, so they ban artificial sweeteners! Because a rat died! You know what I mean? This is a place where gun store owners are given a list of stolen credit cards, but not a list of criminals and maniacs! And now, they're thinking about banning toy guns - and they're gonna keep the fucking real ones!"

3. Guns!

> And now, they're thinking about banning toy guns - and they're gonna keep the fucking real ones!"

This is for reasons of preventing starvation.

If gun nuts couldn't have guns, they would starve, since they'd be too scared to walk out the door to the supermarket.
