Texas Republican Representative and man voted most likely to get into a fist-fight with himself - Steve Stockman - said the following with regard to President Barack Obama likely singing the United Nations' Arms Trade Treaty:
"The right to keep and bear arms is granted by God and protecting [sic] from government aggression by the Constitution. It is not subject to the whims of global totalitarians massed in New York City."
The first recorded use of a firearm occurred in the year 1364. It's estimated that the Bible was written between the years of pre-1445 B.C. to the early 90s A.D. In other words, the first gun was fired between 1,271 and 2,809+ years after the Bible was written. So, I guess my only question for Mr. Stockman is, when did the right to keep and bear arms get granted by God again?
While we're at, Mr. Stockman might as well say the following:
- "The right to watch reality television is granted by God!"
- "The right to play solitaire on the computer is granted by God!"
- "The right to play 'Duck Hunt' on the Nintendo is granted by God!"
- "The right to drive a truck while listening to Kenny Chesney is granted by God!"
- "The right to sound like an idiot is granted by God!"
Okay, so that last one may possibly be true, especially in Mr. Stockman's case.
