That Nasty Ammunition
A Florida legislator wants anyone trying to buy ammunition to complete an anger management program first, in what critics say is the latest example of local lawmakers reaching for constitutionally-dubious solutions to the problem of gun violence.
Is it something in the Democratic National Committee drinking fountain?
The bill filed Saturday by state Sen. Audrey Gibson, D-Jacksonville, would require a three-day waiting period for the sale of any firearm and the sale of ammunition to anyone who has not completed anger management courses. The proposal would require ammo buyers to take the anger management courses every 10 years.
Because people who buy ammunition are soooo angry.
If we applied the rule to politicians the halls of the state legislature would be empty...
"This is not about guns," Gibson said. "This is about ammunition and not only for the safety of the general community, but also for the safety of law enforcement."
Of course it's about guns. What good are guns without ammunition?
For that matter, what good is ammunition without guns? I realize that bullets were originally used with slingshots, but a modern cartridge is meant for grander things.
Gibson said she's concerned with citizens stockpiling ammunition, potentially creating dangerous situations should those individuals ever come in contact with law enforcement agencies or criminals.
Because coming in contact with criminals means you might hurt one.
"It's about getting people to think, really, about how much ammunition they need," Gibson said. "It's a step, I think, in a safer direction. It's about getting people to think before they buy."
I always think before I buy. I need as much as I can afford.
