Rep. Steve Stockman @ReElectStockman

Our campaign bumper sticker: If babies had guns, they wouldn't be aborted. http://stockman2014.com #gosnell #tcot pic.twitter.com/CVaYrQAeK9

1. Ouch. Stupid hurts.

[hobbit709]

5. Unfortunately not to the stupid.

If it was immediately and excruciatingly painful to the stupid there would be a lot less of it.

[gollygee]

2. So they mean fetuses, not babies

Or abortion wouldn't be relevant.

I'd be wondering how the fetus got the gun. And then aborting before it had advanced enough to be able to fire it.

That bumper sticker has to be a joke. It's so funny that I want one. With a picture of a fetus with a gun.

[Wait Wut]

3. WTH is that even supposed to mean?

And, if Republicans had intellect they wouldn't be Republicans.

Dumbass.

[AndyA]

4. How exactly would this work?

Baby somehow learns that Mom is considering an abortion...somehow gets a gun...then kills Mom, and itself?

What crazy sick person thought this one up? (The fact that a Republican thinks this is good enough to run as a campaign bumper sticker says loads about why they shouldn't be re-elected.)

6. It's so unbelievably stupid, I like it.

It's something Steven Colbert might say, and everyone in the audience instantly knows how ridiculous it sounds.

[petronius]

7. But babies don't have money, so how would they get the guns?

He can't possibly want to give babies guns - that would be socialism!

(This has to be a joke, right? A spoof site? Satire? Hacking?)

[spanone]

8. so the mothers would have a gun in the womb along with the fetus? sounds painful

[RobinA]

15. Especially

When the fetus fired it, 'cause I don't think fetuses can see well enough to miss the vital organs that surround it on most sides.

[Control-Z]

9. Huh? That doesn't even make sense.

Stupid, stupid, stupid...oh my gawd, they're stupid.

[mrs_p]

10. does the gun come out w/ the baby?

what a bizarre phrase

[RobinA]

17. The Last Kid

Out gets to take it with him.

[LongTomH]

11. There are days when it seems like The Onion is writing political copy.......as well as the news

[G_j]

12. but if babies had smart phones..,

they could call us

[Wounded Bear]

13. If the babies had a choice, they wouldn't be born....

It's pretty nice and cozy in there, as opposed to the cold cruel world they are born into.

Silly, sure, but not much sillier than the quote in the OP.

[CBGLuthier]

14. If babies had guns they would shoot their mothers for indigestion

[Mike Daniels]

16. Par for the course since this is the moron who invited Nugent to the SOTU

Screw voter ID requirements at the polls.

What I want is for people who run for any elective office to prove that they are actually serious about serving in government vs. trying to be the next RW media darling.

[Cirque du So-What]

18. Pretty presumptive, if you ask me

Assuming that a fetus possessed the cognitive abilities required for self-determination, would it even desire to be born into a world in which its own mother who didn't even want it? According to research I saw referenced in the film version of Freakonomics, the downturn in crime that began in the early 1990s is more attributable to the legalization of abortion following Roe v. Wade in 1973 than any other factor. Seems that the products of unwanted pregnancies - with or without a gun to protect themselves in the womb - are more likely to wield guns in the commission of crimes a few years later.

19. Is that why that woman had a gun inside her vagina?
