I did a post two days ago with a series of signs and images making fun of gun-free zones.
I’m personally more partial to t-shirts and bumper stickers, such as the ones you can view here, here, and here, but folks seem to really enjoy the posters. Indeed, here are two more that were shared by readers.
The first one is self-explanatory.
Though I suppose the message in the poster is not completely accurate. As an economist, I do think laws – on the margin – can discourage both gun ownership and pot smoking. It’s simply a matter of the likelihood of getting caught and the severity of the punishment (which was the theory behind the famous $1 million fine for speeding in Sweden).
That being said, it’s foolish to have bad laws – such as ones that restrict the freedom of people to engage in peaceful behavior that doesn’t infringe on the rights of others.
Speaking of laws, I think the message in this poster is perfect.
Indeed, this is a pretty good way of looking at much of what the government does.
Anti-money laundering laws, for instance, require banks (at great expense) to snoop on the financial transactions of customers in the theory that a few bad guys might get caught. As even the World Bank has noted, totally innocent poor people are some of the biggest victims of this policy.
Just an law-abiding people are the ones most hurt by gun control laws.
By the way, if you can’t get enough anti-gun control info, here are some videos I’ve posted over the past couple of years.
- Ted Nugent talking about gun ownership and the right of self defense.
- A look at the Switzerland’s strong gun culture and the importance of self defense as a protection against oppression.
- And some very powerful testimony to some weasels on Capitol Hill (make sure to pay attention around the 5:00 mark).
- Ice-T talking about the real reason to defend and support the 2nd Amendment.
- A heartwarming Christmas story.
Umm, its also foolish to make fun of pot smoking gun owners. They are also engaged in peaceful behavior that doesn’t infringe on the rights of others. Its extremely hypocritical to slander marijuana users while alcohol is legal. Alcohol causes more harm than pot.
With Obama and Hillary in charge taking of guns must happen. You can’t force people to sumit if they have guns.
@Bob Heinlein. It’s not making fun of her for smoking pot. It’s making fun of her for thinking prohibitions are sufficient for eliminating particular behaviors, in spite of her own behavior. Boy, explaining jokes really does ruin them. Also, she has funny hair
Humm..Apparently Bob Heinlein doesn’t get humor and must be a very sensitive guy. Let’s abolish all guns and turn America into a gun free zone. Great job Dan, http://dancingczars.wordpress.com/2012/09/28/lets-abolish-all-guns-and-turn-america-into-a-gun-free-zone/
Reblogged this on Minnesota Carry Permit.
Well, we know that liberals don’t like facts. Facts hurt their progressive agenda which stymies their march toward a progressive regime. What is funny is that the liberal does not see (actually they do) the correlation between more gun ownership and less crime: http://dailycaller.com/2011/09/28/gun-crime-continues-to-decrease-despite-increase-in-gun-ownership/
Pointing out the obvious, however, it makes me feel good that I’ve done my duty for my country for the day.
Peace!
