we are so very fucked when the nra is the voice of reason.
Whatever could go wrong. Some gun dealer or customer might get shot. Oh noes.
But they’re just fine in BARS, churches, schools, restaurants, and stores. Right, morons?
Unbelievable.
More chum for Snark Week.
I’m really confused. What’s this “disable all firearms” and “ban live ammunition” stuff?
Shouldn’t everyone at these conventions be walking around with loaded weapons and a finger on the trigger in the name of Second Amendment Patriotism? You know, just like they insist on people doing at Wal-Mart, Applebee’s and school playgrounds.
What about a possible Al-Qaeda attack on the convention? Or – even worse – someone at this Texas convention might even express the opinion that health care should be affordable. Tyranny, as we know, comes in many forms.
Wow. It’s almost like they’re worried that an unstable individual could turn his weapon against innocent people and turn the event into a bloodbath. Although that’s impossible, because guns are totally awesome and have never hurt anyone.
Now, if Texas could implement “Stand Your Ground” expressly for gun shows as well as support your local drunken hunter, there might be some hope that over time there could be a distinct diminution in the number of people searching for penis extenders.
Not sure what the NRA thinks could go wrong. They urge responsibility. The liquor ads all urge responsibility. Sounds like they are worrying over nothing, and interfering with free markets to boot.
He said once the customer scans their ID to purchase a drink, it will no longer allow them to shoot on the gun range that day.
And they’re going to control that? Sure.
People have lost their minds.
The only thing that stops an armed drunk guy with a beer is a drunk guy with two beers, a gun and a 30 round clip in case his first 29 shots miss their mark.
But allowing firearms in bars/clubs and eateries?
A-OK by the NRA!

Oh, don’t worry, they’re not upset about the idea of letting people drink and play with guns in public places. No, their concern is that the commies in the Texas ABC are actually using these regulations that purport to be about letting people play with their guns while knocking back a few cold ones in public venues are actually a Trojan horse by which said liberty-haters are trying to back door in restrictions on the sacred and inalienable right to buy, sell, wave, brandish, play with, convey, or shoot a gun anywhere, anytime and without regard to sanity or state of intoxication.
All good right-wingers know that it is in the Constitution that alcoholic beverages are legal and guns are legal. The Constitution does not say that you cannot be drunk while bearing a firearm, does it?
Give them an inch and they’ll take a mile?
Seems to have worked just fine for the NRA.
So where are all the good guys with a gun then?
I don’t think the "BACK"fire is what they are worried about.
Just the MONEY. That is all they care about anyway.
Hey, who cares? Sober or shitfaced, the good guys with guns will stop the bad guys with 'em, right?
Thatz unpossible!! hic!
All we need. Drunk rednecks armed to the hilt. “Here, hic, watch this.”
