Santa delivered a lot of guns
The Washington Compost ^ | December 25, 2014 | Michael S. Rosenwald

Posted on 12/26/2014 1:43:16 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

The other day I wrote about an increasingly popular gift for wives from their husbands — guns. Big guns. Little guns. Pink guns. Even Hello Kitty guns. But Christmas is a big gun day not just for women but for husbands, sons, grandsons, daughters, granddaughters…you get the point. People will argue about guns for more hours than “It’s a Wonderful Life” has historically been broadcast, but guns remain an important part of many, many lives, so it’s only natural that Santa was very busy crossing state lines delivering guns big and small.

Here are some happy new gun owners and their guns:

BATF will soon be sending a team to the North Pole to raid Santa's workshop.

The ATF was on Santa’s trail but lost him. No wonder the guns made it to their new owners.

I liked the photo of the Grandpa sitting in his Comfy Chair while aiming his AR-15 rifle. Caption says he also got a bottle of whiskey. Maybe if I’m real, real good, Santa will get me a rifle next Christmas!

I'm imagining a bunch of BATF affirmative-action hires dropped off in the Arctic.

The opening scene of “Scrouged” comes to mind.

Commenter "Italian Rose" asked: Could somebody tell me with a straight face tell me that your inalienable right to own a gun outweighs the nation's inalienable right to be free from gun violence.

See the stupidity meme we're up against? This is what passes for allowable thinking on the Left. As if "the nation" could somehow have an inalienable right! Not to mention the obvious fact that the solution to "gun violence" - which can only realistically mean criminal acts carried out with guns - IS the people's inalienable right to own a gun. The Left has literally conflated gun ownership with the act of committing crimes with guns.

Stupid? I used to think so. Except if you conflate any other right with a crime, like, oh, free speech for example, the same liberals turn into Constitutional scholars. But then they go stupid again when you bring up freedom of religion for Christians. But then they turn into scholars when you invoke it for Muslims or atheists.

Not stupid.

Evil.

That and Santa’s picture being propped up on the Senate floor with DiFi’s withered, angry face next to it decrying Santa as public enemy number one.

This commenter looks somewhat familiar:

“Matt Bracken

Out of 100s of millions of privately owned guns, your 100 per year is microscopic. Ten times more kids die falling into buckets, and even more drown in pools. Ban pools and buckets, for the children! If you don’t want to ban pools and buckets, well, your agenda is revealed.”

Liberals. If you don't go in the woods during hunting season, if you don't go to the shooting range and if you don't try to assault or rob me, you will never see my firearms.

That’s one cute little gun that shoots cute little bullets that you could not hit a cute little turd in the outhouse with the door shut.
