(34,141 posts)12. Maxine makes me think of Margaret and Helen
Here is part of their blog entry on guns:
Why Bother With Books? School Lockers Really Should Become Gun Lockers
HELEN:
Margaret, when someone comes at you with a gun, respond with a gun. And when someone comes at you with a bigger gun, dont mess around trade up to a semi-automatic assault rifle with a hi-capcity clip. Fight violence with more violence. Thats cleary the only way to respond to the horror in Connecticut if youre a dipshit from the NRA.
Are they bullshitting us? Some peckerwood named Wayne LaPierre at the National Rifle Association announced that the NRA would form the National School Shield Emergency Response Program. And by that he means armed security at every school. I dont know Margaret, NSSERP doesnt roll off the tongue as easily as NRA. This from the people who came up with Trigger the Vote as a voter registration slogan for the last election. I guess I expected better.
<SNIP>
MARGARET:
Helen, dear, did you know you can buy a Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 designed and built as a true .22 LR semi-auto from the ground up, with all the standard operating features and accessory specifications of a modern-version centerfire M&P15 rifle in various colors including Pink and Platinum? It could match my outfit. I hear theyll even throw in a few hi-capacity magazines for free. Honey, you just cant separate a discussion on gun control from one on mental illness. They kind of go hand in hand. LaPierre is just one more asshat to add to our list of many.
