Shannyn Moore: My Guns Are Less Regulated Than My Uterus

[Lakhota]

I'm old enough to remember when the NRA was invited into our schools to educate students on gun safety. Yes, I'm old, and I grew up in rural Alaska, but the NRA as an institution has changed as much as everything else has since then. It now operates as a lobby for gun manufacturers rather than for responsible gun owners who grew up with the traditions of hunting and shooting.

It has blamed everything from video games, to Hollywood to "gun-free zones" for escalating gun violence in the country. In 2010, the NRA held its convention in North Carolina in a location where guns were banned. Its cheery note to attendees told them to leave their guns at home. It seemed fine enough with a "gun-free zone" then. Charlotte Allen blames (the brutal mass murder in Newtown, Conn., last week on) a lack of men and the "over-feminization" of our school system. Autism and mental health have been blamed. A godless tolerance for homosexuals has been faulted. Several people have said God wouldn't show up in public schools where he's not wanted. Apparently, he's still smarting from the lack of audible prayer, so he allowed the shooting to happen.

One week after the massacre, the NRA, in a paranoid fit, proposed changes. Let's have more guns in schools! Armed guards have been present at many massacres and haven't been able to stop them. And who is supposed to pay for the wages and benefits for armed guards at every school in the nation? "The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun," says the NRA. It's a nice advertisement for gun sales but it's ludicrous. The bad guy in Tucson, Ariz., who shot Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was stopped because he was reloading. Should we have armed guards everywhere there has been a mass shooting? Schools, malls, theaters, grocery stores and churches? Are they proposing a jobs bill?

"If only those teachers had a gun," laments the NRA. At a time when teachers are blamed for far more than what is in their control, and for being "union thugs," you want them to carry a weapon? Seriously? Think about that for a minute. A company in Utah had profits jump 500 percent this week by selling BULLET-PROOF BACKPACKS FOR CHILDREN. Children should not be shouldering the panic. The best thing about little children is they haven't figured out yet that some people want to hurt them. Times have changed. If you're not a cynic by third grade, you're not paying attention.

I'm worried that again nothing will happen in the face of a great problem. The violence that destroyed so many lives in Newtown, Conn., has changed the discussion in this country on gun control, but will that be enough this time?

In Alaska, many of us need guns to fill our freezers, but if you need a 30-round clip you're a pretty poor hunter. If you are hoarding automatic (yes, they are legal) or semi-automatic weapons, you need Viagra.

Oh, that's right, it's about the "well-regulated militia." The Second Amendment was written by men who had fought alongside men who didn't survive their revolt against tyranny. They had the assistance of the French government. They used muskets. If you think it is your right or duty to overthrow the government at this point in time, you're going to need more than a few guns and monster clips. You'll need weapons-grade uranium, a few tanks, a submarine and an army of your own to go up against our 3 million strong military. You very well may need the aid of another country. Good luck with that, and I think your three-cornered hat may be on a little too tight. The same founders who thought a militia was a good idea would never have expanded gun ownership to blacks. The whole slavery situation could have gotten awkward quickly.

So the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of kindergarteners, mall shoppers and moviegoers? Is that freedom?

Shannyn Moore: My Guns Are Less Regulated Than My Uterus

I suspect that has a lot to do with men wanting guns and not having uteruses, and wanting not the uteruses but rather access to and control of the entryway to a uterus.

 

[usmbguest5318]

Gun-Rights Advocates Claim Criminals Don't Follow Gun Laws. Here's the Research That Shows They're Wrong.

As for Lott: https://www.nap.edu/read/10881/chapter/1

Edit:

For users not familiar with the two different methodologies:

• Panel-data (Lott's method and one of NRC's methodological approaches)
• Synthetic-controls (The other NRC methodological approach)

The NRC's study has 4 more years of data and 11 more states represented than did Lott's.​

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Actually there are hundreds of gun control laws....sooooo

 

[Lysistrata]

Excellent article. It should not be overlooked that Ms. Moore is also legitimately questioning the amount government interference in female citizens' rights to control their own bodies and in their access to the technology and medical care necessary to do so, which so many gun nuts seem to support, all the while screeching about "liberty" and "freedom." This is an issue of great importance to millions of Americans.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

This again ?
This article is five years old, and has been on this board numerous times.

 

[theHawk]

What a bunch of bullshit. Guns are regulated up the kazoo. I don’t see women needing a background check every time they want to get an abortion.

Another lame ass article by a feminist slut trying to push her idiotic Agenda.

[gipper]

Leftists are very strange. The cry about guns killing people and want the 2A eliminated, but are fine with abortionists killing people. ...and abortionists have murdered far more people than guns have these past 50 years.

Many lefties never get their priorities right.

That's not exactly the only point.
Liberals create an extremely lax society where anything goes.
They breed hatred, chaos, a disdain for authority (cops),and division.
They do everything they can to remove accountability from government and protected classes.
They tell us we can decide on a whim what our sex can be.
They create poverty and overcrowding.
Then they wonder why some individuals cannot cope with the insanity they created.

So if I understand correctly, she was required to undergo a background check before obtaining a uterus, then wait three days, register her uterus with the government, and can only carry it in her own home, or unloaded in the trunk of her car when driving directly to and from a designated location that is licensed to engage in uterus usage. And she has to have a special permit in order to carry her uterus in a concealed manner, and her uterus may not be configured to give birth to more than one human at a time.

Well if that's the case them I'm sorry to say she is wrong. Her uterus is not more regulated than her guns, because all that only puts her uterus on par with gun regulations.

I didn't know that, in order to buy a gun, you have to submit to "counseling" by some religious group that a state's politicians have declared to be their state's official religion and then undergo a waiting period, and also might be required to undergo an unnecessary and invasive "medical" procedure, and pay for it, and all with the possibility that your personal information is being given out to strangers. To what indoctrination does the state require a gun purchaser to submit? Does the state require the seller and purchaser to have a conversation that is worded by the state?

Really? A female would have to go through a government background check to use her own uterus? She'd have to undergo a waiting period to use her uterus? That's just stupid.

And, when the Constitution was written, there were only hand driven printing presses and handwriting. The idea that somebody could publish their terrible ideas to millions could not have entered their minds. You have to admit, we shouldn't be able to use a computer to spread fake news...so, computers gotta go.

Uteruses are far more regulated than guns. And don't forget the vaginal probes...

I want any young men who buy a gun to be treated like young women who seek an abortion. Think about it: a mandatory 48-hours waiting period, written permission from a parent or a judge, a note from a doctor proving that he understands what he is about to do, time spent watching a video on individual and mass murders, traveling hundreds of miles at his own expense to the nearest gun shop, and walking through protestors holding photos of loved ones killed by guns, protesters who call him a murderer.

After all, it makes more sense to do this for young men seeking guns than for young women seeking an abortion. No young woman needing reproductive freedom has ever murdered a roomful of strangers.

Illegal aliens' uteruses are weapons of mass destruction! My question is what kind of sick, ugly ass fuck would screw an illegal alien without birth control. These animals are ugly as fuck, stupid as fuck and really should be regulated (sterilized).
