"Guns don't kill people, credit cards do!" This is basically what Auburn Republican Dan Dumaine recently stated.
In response to the state's Democratic-controlled House voting to ban concealed weapons from its chamber, Dumaine said, "A holstered gun is not a deadly weapon. ...But anything can be used as a deadly weapon. A credit card can be used to cut somebody's throat."
Really? We're now comparing credit cards to guns? What will we compare to guns next? Here is a list of suggestions I have for far-right gun enthusiasts and what I imagine their rationale would be:
Paper - "Paper cuts are more deadly than gun shot wounds! You can also make a paper airplane and poke someone's eye out with that thing! Guns aren't dangerous! Paper are, I mean is, wait - is it is or are? Whatever."
Purse - "Have you ever seen an angry woman with a purse? They're the number one cause for concussions in males who don't play football. It's even worse when a woman busts out her purse in icy conditions. With one smack of a guy's head, that purse can send the guy to certain death, as he is backed up a few feet and then slips on some ice, before his head makes contact with the pavement. Guns are dangerous? Ha! Purses are more dangerous than guns!"
Socks - "Not only can socks smell bad, but they can result in death under certain circumstances. Other than placing them on our feet, what are socks most used for? Shoving into people's mouths and making people choke on the stench! Plug a person's nose while doing this and they will meet their ultimate doom. It's a scientific fact - socks are more dangerous than guns!"
Toilet-paper roll - "What's more dangerous? Shooting a bullet out of a gun or smacking or throwing a toilet-paper roll at someone? A toilet-paper roll can leave some serious marks and if it's shot out of a gun, can kill a person. Like I always say, guns aren't dangerous, toilet-paper rolls are, especially if they're shot out of guns!"
