Bill Burr Should Stick to Jokes, Skip the Gun Legislating

BUCK: That’s comedian Bill Burr there.

BUCK: I mean, we’re hearing a lot of policy ideas that aren’t very good ideas. I actually think he’s a pretty funny comedian, but he should leave the legislating about the Second Amendment to people who have some understanding of how these things actually work. Just gonna say it. And the psychological testing, though, that’s what was I think interesting about what he says. People seem to believe that there’s the resources, that there’s the ability, that there’s the efficacy of doing some psych eval. Now, don’t even get started on doing a psychological test before you have a constitutionally protected right that you can actually exercise. Are you gonna do psych evals before people can vote? No.

CLAY: And who’s doing them?

BUCK: And who’s doing them. It’s a total of… Friends, so many of their ideas are either idiotic or totally nonstarters or just so clearly meant to — let’s be honest with this — antagonize gun owners. Because gun ownership in this country has become a culture war issue. The left thinks that guns are icky and gross, even if they own them, they think gun owners somehow… Even if they happen to be one themselves, they think that the mass of gun owners out there — and the NRA is a terrorist organization, all this other absurd nonsense they spew on a regular basis.

If they had ideas on how to fix things, I would want to hear them and we would go along with them. They don’t have ideas on how to fix things. They just want to harass people that don’t agree with them. The only intellectually honest position for the gun grabbers, the only one that really makes any sense is they want to take all of your guns, and that’s a complete and utter catastrophe, absurdity, constitutional violation would probably lead to a civil war. Seizing all the guns — seizing them with government force — I think is a total nightmare scenario that even the Democrats know is not feasible in the least.
