I agree 100%. The NRA, on the other hand, would NOT be amused. But screw 'em.

However, the photos of loved ones killed by guns would only serve to excite these sick fucks even more.

Ms. Steinem recognized the truth of it, and she helped to publicize it.
So I do give her partial credit.

But that doesn’t detract from how sensible it is. Gun nuts would go berserk if they had to do this.

If not the same regulations as car ownership. I was thinking of including a requirement that their genitals be photographed and place on file with BATF to mirror requirements that an ultrasound be taken of a woman's interior.

I suppose it seemed like something she might come up with, but she's denies it's her. Either way, i like it.

I am pretty sure they are going to make the women pay for all of the bullshit they are going to be forced to go through. They need to see how much the women will have to pay for all of this and charge those young men the same.
