Missouri Republcians Vote to Affirm toddler’ Rights to Carry Firearms in the Streets - GMDino - 02-11-2023 So I guess if the police think it's a good idea, but it might cost some of that sweet NRA funding coming in, "back the blue" goes out the window. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2023/02/missouri-republicans-minors-open-carry Quote:In a turn of events that absolutely defies logic, the Republican-controlled Missouri House of Representatives voted on Wednesday to reject an amendment that would have banned minors from being allowed to openly carry guns on public land without adult supervision. Which, thanks to a 2017 law, they are currently free to do. (That law, which was vetoed by then governor Jay Nixon and overridden by the Missouri House, also allows Missouri residents to carry a concealed weapon without a permit, safety training, or criminal-background check. As Sgt. Charles Wall, spokesman for the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, “under current state law, there is no minimum age to lawfully possess a firearm.”) To be clear: The proposal rejected this week was not seeking to ban minors from openly carrying weapons on public land, period, but simply from doing so without an adult supervising them. But apparently even that was too much for the state’s conservatives, who quite literally believe it’s fine for actual kids to walk down the street carrying guns. The proposal was defeated by 104-39, with just a single Republican voting in favor of the ban. RE: Missouri Republcians Vote to Affirm toddler’ Rights to Carry Firearms in the Streets - Nately120 - 02-11-2023 When I was a kid I recall watching TGIF which featured shows like Full House and Family Matters and Boy Meets World. There was an episode where police officer/TV dad Carl Winslow dressed up like a woman in order to lure our a mugger. There was an episode where Danny Tanner and Joey Gladstone dressed up like women in order to infiltrate a sorority that stole something from their fraternity back in their college days. There was an episode where Corey and his pal on Boy Meets World dressed up like women for some reason or another. I just love the notion that today's GOP would have told my parents to protect my sister and I by turning that stuff off and giving us guns. Maybe things aren't as absurd as I think they are, but maybe they are.

Monty Python as Pepperpots Hell, the Monkees had Mike Nesmith in drag! Without ever shooting a gun in my life I managed to grow up straight.

I can't even keep track of the narratives. Plus if guns are seen as tough and manly, shouldn't giving one to your daughter be considered grooming her to be a man? Missouri Republcians Vote to Affirm toddler’ Rights to Carry Firearms in the Streets - Forever Spinning Vinyl - 02-11-2023 Yeah, that's great and all, but what do you do when one of your man crushes as a kid shows up on screen in drag? Talk about mixed signals. "Do I look like a Dame?" RE: Missouri Republcians Vote to Affirm toddler’ Rights to Carry Firearms in the Streets - samhain - 02-11-2023 Ooooh, let's not forget the actual kid-themed comedy Ladybugs starring Rodney Dangerfield. Rodney was a youth soccer coach that, IIRC dressed his old lady's kid like a girl so he could be a ringer for his team of girls. The right would stroke out over that movie.

Or "Some Like it Hot" RE: Missouri Republcians Vote to Affirm toddler’ Rights to Carry Firearms in the Streets - Nately120 - 02-11-2023 What about this uh...social artifact? I'd make a joke about Tom Hanks doing the drag sit com Bosom Buddies, but I'm actually pretty sure the same people who think drag is harmful to kids also think Tom Hanks blends up babies and either eats them and/or rubs them on his face to stay young. Anyways, we need to give children guns to protect them from all the drag queens. The number of kids I know who didn't make it to adulthood because when it came time to protect themselves from drag queens they were disarmed by the government is staggering. |
