Here’s the funny parts from the author:
“I want to waive my Second Amendment rights. I want to do this not because I want to restrict the freedom or behaviors of others, but because I feel overwhelming disgust and revulsion toward guns and what they have become in our society.“ [And I need to know that and give a sh*t?]
“The voluntary legal ineligibility would also apply to state permits and licenses for buying, owning, carrying, or hunting with firearms. It would constitute a waiver of all Second Amendment rights, with a government-issued certificate or card that the person is legally “gunless”. [Will TSA accept your Gunless ID and waive you through screening?]
“...liability insurers could identify with certainty who was gun-free, and could apply an actuarial-based market response in terms of pricing their premiums, both for individual policyholders and for businesses that find ways to favor gunless employees, customers, subcontractors, etc.” [Ah, the old Gun Insurance ploy resurrected! Felons? Don’t ask, don’t tell. Gun Owners? Out those Gun Nuts!]
“One effect I am not worried about is that those who register as gunless will become easy or tempting targets for criminals; empirical evidence suggests that gun ownership attracts criminals.” [Can‘t argue there - nobody steals guns from those who don’t have guns - they just rob, rape, beat and kill them.]
”...those who are gunless as a matter of strong personal conviction will often prefer instead to publicize their certification, which is why issuance of an official certificate is an essential feature...we could broadcast our certification on social media and show our certification cards to others whenever we choose.” [Yeah, a Gun-Free Home app where you can find people without guns. Remember, when seconds count the police are minutes away - so those bad guys gotta be be quick!]
“I am arguing that gun ownership is a vice, a vice that contributes to social decay and the overall prevalence of violence, and I think there are millions of Americans who agree.“ [Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not.]
And that’s through page 7 of 53 - I’m exhausted laughing...the guy has total 720 “hits” from views, media shares, etc., since this past July. What happened to those ”... millions of Americans who agree”?
A slow roll up to millions - maybe 2024?
