At some point in the next ten years, I expect Republicans to start arguing "Guns are People"

[Bucky]

Fifteen years ago, we would have scoffed at someone believing that corporations are people with the constitutionally protected rights of free speech and political bribery. I think the "votes for firearms" and arguably "proportional representation for firearms" is the inevitable next step.

1. Been to the Gungeon, lately?

You won't have to wait 15 years...

[TeddyR]

2. I haven't encountered any

Republicans in the "Gungeon." Though I've encountered a fair number of folks in DU who want to restrict freedom of speech because they don't like someone else's opinion, or restrict the right to keep and bear arms because they think everyone should be lambs. Authoritarians all.

6. You're certainly good with the blindered, rote, internalized talking points

I'll give you that.

3. Wouldn't that be the end of "Guns don't kill people. People kill people."?

[KamaAina]

4. Proportional representation for firearms

What proportion of the average male's anatomy does a firearm represent?

7. The "six shooter" should cover 100%.

On average.

5. Do I get more votes? Does Beretta have to come to the voting booth

and how does a gun vote? BOOOM! Hey, at least no hanging chads...

You need to look on the bright side here.

or somebody will think I am serious... by the way, what is a good lullaby for my scared gun to go to sleep?
