When considering a law that involves the regulation of guns and gun ownership, a normal person would measure it against what is allowed by the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution. Amy Klobucahr is not normal so she uses her “Uncle Dick” as a measuring stick for the legality of gun control. It’s unclear if she actually has an Uncle Dick or if this is a weird way of her coming out as transgendered. One thing is for sure the Constitution has no tolerance for “Dicks” when it comes to infringing our right to keep and bear arms.
Klobuchar is one of the many democrats running for president in 2020 so naturally CNN gave her a forum to embarrass herself. The Minnesota Senator took part in a CNN town hall meeting on Tuesday and got straight to the gun control nonsense. Klobuchar was asked how she would stop school shootings and how her plan to achieve that is different than the other dems running on 2020:
Sen. Amy Klobuchar looked to set herself apart from other Democrats running for office on Monday by telling voters here in New Hampshire that she judges gun control bills by whether they would “hurt my Uncle Dick in the deer stand.”
“Like New Hampshire, Minnesota is a state that values the outdoors. We value hunting and fishing. And so I come at it from a little different place than some of my colleagues running for this office,” she said, adding that she doesn’t believe “banning assault weapons” and “common sense background checks” hurt her uncle in the deer stand.
See, here’s the thing, the 2nd Amendment doesn’t say anything about hunting. It doesn’t guarantee the right to keep and bear arms based on a need or desire, like deer hunting, it simply protects all of our rights to own guns. Actually, since the Amendment does say that private gun ownership is necessary for a free state, it does indicate that the real purpose of owning guns is to keep fascist psychos like Klobuchar for trampling our rights, but definitely nothing about hunting.
Klobuchar’s Uncle Dick is irrelevant in determining the Constitutionality of a gun law, since he’s a person not an amendment. As someone who took an oath uphold the Constitution she should know this, but then again she is a democrat so…what’s a Constitution?
What? Is Klobuchar going to user her “Aunt Flo” to determine if she supports a third-trimester infanticide abortion bill? Or maybe “Cousin Gabby” if she thinks a free-speech limiting bill is legal?
The second part of her answer was less funny but infinitely dumber. In explaining how she would stop school shootings, she touted her work on gun control that even she admits wouldn’t stop school shootings:
Klobuchar choked up when she remembered working with the parents of children killed in Sandy Hook, especially when she had to tell them that a bill proposed by West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin and Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Pat Toomey would not pass the Senate in the wake of the shooting.
“Those parents had the courage to come to Washington to advocate for something that wouldn’t save their babies. We should join the majority of Americans and actually many gun owners in having the courage to pass common sense gun safety legislation,” said Klobuchar.
If the stated purpose of gun control legislation is to stop school shootings, is it really “commonsense” that the bill will not stop school shootings? I wish democrats would explain how this makes any f*cking sense.
Wether or not a gun control law would hurt “Uncle Dick” is not how you gauge the Constitutionality of it. In reality, the things Uncle Dick should be worried about are “Sister Syphilis” “Grandma Gonorrhea” and “Cousin Castration.”
