You should be well aware by now that guns are the most dangerous things in existence today, narrowly edging out Donald Trump supporters. But you may not know all of the worst things about guns.
To further prove the point, The Babylon Bee has compiled the following list of even more scary facts about guns:
1.) Touching one instantly turns you into a Republican: A fate worse than death.
2.) It takes 500 Kenyan child slaves to mine enough blasting powder to fill a single magazine clip with gun bullets: This is a crime against human rights.
3.) Guns are often a gateway drug to cannons: Sure, right now it's "just a little Glock." Next thing you know, you're building a Civil War-era cannon in the backyard.
4.) The average gun owner shoots 5,000 people per year: You can't argue with cold, hard statistics.
5.) If left unattended, guns have been known to commit mass shootings: The guns — and guns alone — are to blame.
6.) Guns literally invented murder: Before guns existed, nobody killed anyone. Ever.
7.) They are often used to stop dedicated, hardworking looters: They're just trying to feed their families with those Louis Vuitton handbags and 80" flatscreen TVs, you barbarian.
8.) Police carry guns: And we all know the police are everyone's enemy.
9.) If Hitler had guns, he likely would have won World War 2: Just think about that.
If the list of terrifying facts above doesn't scare you enough, you must be a MAGA voter, which is only slightly less dangerous than a gun.babylonbee.com/news/9-more-scary-facts-about-guns/

The Bee has its moments for sure, but most that get posted aren't those. And this isn't one of them either.
The first thing I thought of when I read this was drugs. The Bee is basically making the argument about guns through the terrible arguments against drugs (specifically marijuana). Of course, those making the terrible arguments would be the same ones thinking this was a hilarious indictment against the Left.
"3.) Guns are often a gateway drug to cannons"
That would be funny/ironic if liberals had been making the argument that marijuana was a gateway drug to harder drugs in the past. But the liberals weren't the ones making that argument! Ever. So it is only funny if you recognize how moronic the anti-drug people were being (AKA not the liberal side of the argument).
You read this list from a different perspective, and you kind of start realizing how stupid your arguments against certain things were/are.
I don't think the Bee intended to do so, but they are actually mocking you!

I don't think the Bee intended to do so, but they are actually mocking you! Our realties must be drastically different. I grew up in a bad place. I witnessed first hand those kids who started with weed and progressed to harder drugs. Some progressed enough to die from heroin. Today, I do believe that your perspective might be more accurate as weed has become more commonplace but not when those ads were being run. JMHO! |

You should be well aware by now that guns are the most dangerous things in existence today, narrowly edging out Donald Trump supporters. But you may not know all of the worst things about guns.
To further prove the point, The Babylon Bee has compiled the following list of even more scary facts about guns:
1.) Touching one instantly turns you into a Republican: A fate worse than death.
2.) It takes 500 Kenyan child slaves to mine enough blasting powder to fill a single magazine clip with gun bullets: This is a crime against human rights.
3.) Guns are often a gateway drug to cannons: Sure, right now it's "just a little Glock." Next thing you know, you're building a Civil War-era cannon in the backyard.
4.) The average gun owner shoots 5,000 people per year: You can't argue with cold, hard statistics.
5.) If left unattended, guns have been known to commit mass shootings: The guns — and guns alone — are to blame.
6.) Guns literally invented murder: Before guns existed, nobody killed anyone. Ever.
7.) They are often used to stop dedicated, hardworking looters: They're just trying to feed their families with those Louis Vuitton handbags and 80" flatscreen TVs, you barbarian.
8.) Police carry guns: And we all know the police are everyone's enemy.
9.) If Hitler had guns, he likely would have won World War 2: Just think about that.
If the list of terrifying facts above doesn't scare you enough, you must be a MAGA voter, which is only slightly less dangerous than a gun.babylonbee.com/news/9-more-scary-facts-about-guns/ 10.) People have been known to actually ENJOY shooting guns. This cannot be allowed to continue. Fun (and humor) of any kind is verboten by Big Brother. |

Isn't that what the Babylon Bee does? So what is funny about it and how is it some sort of indictment against the Left? As I stated in my post, the Bee has its moments... This isn't one of them. |

Fine - you weren't impressed! Try telling that to the Bee - perhaps they will care because I don't! I post stuff for everyone, not just a select few. If they enjoy it, cool! If not, too bad, so sad! |

I'm sure the Bee couldn't care less about what I think when they are raking in the money. Good for them, and I am glad they are out there doing what they do. I was just pointing out a stupid point they made. You don't need to defend that stupid point. |
