Discussion: IN GOPer Drafts Bill To Force Journalists To Get Licenses Like Gun Owners

In another thread I was blasting Alabamans and South Carolinians as the most pious mean-spirited bastards.I did not forget Indiana, Hoosier are right below them. Not surprising since the earliest colonists in Indiana came from South Carolina.

I don’t know about licenses for legislators, but couldn’t we at least require intelligence tests?

Another grievance GOPer “making a point” because - there was backlash to ridiculous bill he wrote.

Geez, GOP, so much whining.

We should force wingers to license their mouths lest they shoot them off.

“Well Regulated…”

What is it about those two words that you don’t understand? Or is the Constitution like the Bible–you just pick and choose the parts that you like? You don’t even believe in the entire 2nd Amendment, just the part that you use to fit your worldview.

If you’ve ever been pulled over by an Indiana state trooper, you know why this is a reeeeeeeeally bad idea.

Licenses for hand guns in Indiana?
Wow.
I am surprised the GOPer didn’t vent about that.
But I doubt this “law” would pass muster if challenged in court should it be enacted into law.

GOPers are bigtime fans of the 2nd amendment but not so big on the 1st. I wonder if this clown knows that restricting broadcasting means he will have added difficulty campaigning of reelection?

He said if he was as “irresponsible” with his guns “as the media has been with their keyboard, I’d probably be in jail.”

You’re young, Rep Lucas, there’s still time.

Lucas’ frustration with the media stems from local
coverage of his efforts to repeal a state law that requires handgun
owners to have a permit in order to carry it. He said if he was as
“irresponsible” with his guns “as the media has been with their
keyboard, I’d probably be in jail.”
…
Welp, seems to me that nobody has been killed directly by someone else typing a story. Guns are intended to maim and kill. It’s their function. Keyboards put letters on a page (so to speak).

Republicans made their bed when they wooed the anti-Enlightenment part of the electorate.

They shouldn’t be upset they now have many STDs.

Well in fairness, it’s Draft legislation that has not passed and been signed into law. Sanity might prevail.
