The news is that our good buddies in the US Congress have decided that ownership of a health insurance policy is a right not a privilege.
Well, since the Supreme Court has previously decided (along with the folks who wrote the US Constitution) that gun ownership is also a right and not a privilege, then it must surely follow that the Congress will soon make my ownership of a gun mandatory. This being the case then, and since I don't happen to be able to afford a gun, I can now look forward to a Federal subsidy to provide me with my Federally approved gun? And, if I must own a gun, can I insist that my government subsidy buy me a Purdey shotgun?
I don't know a whole lot about guns--I'm afraid the only gun I ever owned was a BB-gun--but that was over 50 years ago. I do think though, that an antique Purdey (say from about 1860) would look like nice hanging over my front door, and that would give me something to show my local IRS agent every month.
