The legislation--SB203--says:

Any person who receives public assistance is prohibited from using an EBT card or cash obtained with an EBT card to gamble or to purchase tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, lottery tickets, firearms, or adult entertainment.

I got a simple solution. I will refrain from comment, however, to avoid the zot.

My gun has provided me with a heck of a lot of food in the past when I had no money to purchase food....

I joke now when someone orders pheasant at a restaurant... I have a hard time eating pheasant as I associate the taste with biting on lead shot!

How about we stop the whole EBT thing, completely? Go back to food depots for the needy, and run them locally.

Stop giving these people money (in any form), and you immediately remove the need for this type of legislation, and you don’t waste time debating the (dubious) merits of the rule(s).

I missed reading the part of the US Constitution that specifies the right to an EBT card (and free stuff.)

I wish I could get some of that free money with no strings attached!

He's an anti-Second Amendment moonbat who thinks he's cleverly busting conservative chops. Just another lefty relic trying to be oh-so-hip. What a tool.

Could this be a backdoor way to increase the number of folk in Obama’s ‘Domestic Security Force’. Think about it ... with a weapon the LIVs can augment their income (holdups, robberies, etc), and be ready for when Zero calls for his ‘revolution’ (attack ‘whitey’). All this with a tool paid for by us taxpayers.

I thought EBT was the new Food Stamps.

Will it gradually be nmorphed by the government into a “salary” instead of just a handout intended for food?

And that same rep would stand there if voter id was coming up and say it was impossible for those very same people to get an id.

It may be a lefty trying to confound the right, but I’d say that the best reply is to agree. After all, it gives people “dignity” to decide for themselves how to spend handouts.

But I’d suggest that we don’t buy kitchen appliances with EBT money, we buy the consumables. So we shouldn’t buy guns, we should let them buy AMMO!

Hey Harrigan... why not get a law pass to let EBT to be used for a Caribbean vacation.
