The NRA’s new, “Just Arm Everyone” law went into effect today after the NRA spent months lobbying, and many believe, threatening, Congress to make it an amendment to the US Constitution. NRA lobbyist, Cardinal James P. Edophile, released the following statement this morning. “Good morning America. Welcome to your first day of true freedom. You are now armed and ready. Ready to defend your new freedom by putting a bullet through the brain of anyone stupid enough to question just how true it really is. America has been a country manipulated by limp-wristed, sissified, atheist liberals for far too long now. Christian values must be reinserted into its political circulatory system and firearms must be used to ensure pansy-ass liberals don’t draw them back out again. For without conservative Christian values, true freedom can not truly exist in America.
We here at the NRA knew that deadly force would be needed in order to motivate Congress to return true freedom to America.The rumors you’ve heard are, indeed, true. Implanted NRA members forced Congress, at gun point, to alter the US Constitution by adding the “Just Arm Everyone” amendment to it. We did it for you America. We know that each of you values freedom the same exact way we do. Thus, we’ve made it illegal AND unconstitutional for anyone to NOT have a concealed firearm on them at all times. We expect these firearms to be used to kill people who express an opinion on true freedom which differs, even in the slightest, from ours. This is the only way to guarantee true freedom for every American. Oh, and starting tomorrow, anyone found not to be in possession of a concealed firearm will be summarily executed on the spot; their bodies left behind to rot away in reeking decay as a warning to anyone foolish enough not to follow the law. (We added that last bit as a rider to the amendment at the last-minute. Pretty neat, eh?) True freedom can once more ring out throughout this great land of ours, for the NRA has ensured its safety by arming each and every last one of its citizens with a firearm.”
Don’t laugh, my friends. This just might be a whole lot closer to reality than most of us would like to believe.

I know several sensible gun owners and they too love their guns. I find that disturbing. I think it’s a power thing maybe. Guns make some feel invincible. I feel a lot less safer knowing so many people have weapons, even sensible folks. Just isn’t needed and only bad shit ever comes from it. 🙂

This has got to be one of your strongest efforts! The reason I like it so much is because it rapes the meaning of the word ‘freedom’ as if it’s Jodie Foster in ‘The Accused’…which is exactly what’s happening in real life. The word ‘freedom’ is being used more and more in aid of policy that does anything but create freedom. People merely change the meaning of the word ‘freedom’ throw it around like candy. It’s really disgusting, as your post so accurately shows.
Also, why does the weapon HAVE to be concealed? I mean, if everybody’s wearing one, what’s the point in concealing it any longer? I imagine the next debate will be between conservatives, who feel firearms need to be concealed like Pat Robertson’s rentboys, and liberals, who feel it’s okay to flaunt one’s firearm.
Awesome post!

That’s good to know. Hopefully I can bring one or two more into the flock of the divine “I Have No Fucking Idea” answer to the “Well, then asshole, if you see no evidence for Jesus, then how the fuck do you explain the universe and the meaning of life?” Were you studying, as a cultural Jew, to be a Christian minister, or were you studying to be a Rabbinical minister, if there is such a thing? Just curious. It is still hard for me to say I’m a non-believer or a-theist, because the evilness I’ve been conditioned to associate with those words makes me feel dirty saying them. That doesn’t stop me, though. Especially because I know it gets people’s panties in a bunch when I do. Also, I’ve always been a non-believer but never realized it until I figured out a-theism did not mean evil. My gut answer to the “How can evil exist if God is all good,” waste of energy question has always been “because there is no god or devil, there is just what is and the meaning of it comes from what we project on to it.” A-theist. That’s me. Oh, and I feast on Christian infants, but keep quiet about that. It’s illegal.

Well my friend, I’ve been one of those descendants of crypto Jews, whose ancestors either fled persecution and are lost, or took up xtianity in order to survive. In my case, my heritage surfaced when I was in my 30s, but some newcomer american missionaries convinced me that Cheesus is the Jewish messiah, but ultimately asked I remove my kippah and obey Pauline doctrines. I tend to be extremely serious in what I do, so I went on studying all I could, and did practical ministry all along. After 20 years, with all logical/rational data at hand, I was confident Cheesus is NOT the long -and still- awaited messiah, and having arrived to that conclusion, it meant ALL xtianity has never had the OT foundation it requires in order to exist. To sum it up, it meant I followed a pile of cleverly concocted sh*t for 20 years.
But, arriving to that conclusion, meant that I have to practically proof check Judaism, at the end of which I concluded that it has no religious legitimacy at least since 70 AD, when Titus destroyed the Temple, and all was replaced with Talmudism, which is the “Catholicism” of the once Temple based Judaism.
And since god’s usual 400 years of deafness are long gone, I assumed he’s run out of fuel for returning, is dead, or any other scenario which leaves me looking for inspiration in your blog, or any other sane place☺

Fascinating history lesson. Thanks. I always wondered, as a Catholic growing up, what happened to the Jewish part of the New Testament. Jesus would’ve been a Rabbi. A Jewish Rabbi. But none of that is in TNT. Then I learned about St. Paul and saw the light. That’s why there’s no Jesus left in Christianity. Paul took the Jewishness out of TNT and made it his book. And, now I truly see the heavy antisemitism in the the crucifixion tale. Jews did NOT crucify anyone, nor did the fucking Pharisees go to Pilot with a bloody Jewish theological dispute. Pilot would have crucified them for bothering him. If Christ was real and was indeed crucified, the Romans did it because he did something to piss them off, and it wasn’t because the Pharisees were upset. Bloody religion. Subjective tripe.

People can go to a bar with a gun in their back pocket, get drunk, and fucking shoot at each other here. What a fucked up sense of morality we here in America have. And the NRA is about as fundie Christian as you can get. Jesus + guns. Too good to make up, but scary cause it’s very real.

Racist mother fuckers just love this too. But one day a leader in those communities is gonna rise up to lead the armed army of young men that is in those areas and have them point those guns outside their community to demand social justice and change. Now we’ve got a fucking law that’s made Chicago like Texas and legally owned guns can be concealed and carried around. Ya. That’s gonna help things. Fuck.

You are lucky. It’s actually a hobby for most people here, too. I was raised Catholic, went to Catholic school K through High School and have worked in some capacity for the Archdiocese of Chicago on and off for 35 years. We were taught science and the nuns would have knocked our heads off if we said evolution wasn’t real. In all that time, I’ve met only one person who actually takes Catholic dogma seriously. We were taught stuff no one practiced in reality and no one cared. My problem with the Catholic church is its underlying culture of pervasive, but denied, homosexual activities which often includes child rape and covering it up. It’s not the gay activity I criticize here, it’s the Church saying one thing while completely doing the opposite that bothers me. Though this has not happened to me, two priests I worked with closely over the years were removed from the priesthood by the church for their activities of rape. Inexcusable and unforgivable. The Vatican is corrupt morally and financially and since it is its own state, nothing can or will be done to change anything other than electing Pope Francis, who seems to be a good man, to distract the faithful so they stop asking uncomfortable questions of the Vatican high council. my biggest issue is with fundamentalist Christians whose righteous behavior reminds me of the Nazis. I write strong sided crewed satire directed at them because it’s therapeutic, because it shows the utter level of disrespect I have for them, and because I love pointing out just how bloody hypocritical those bastards are. It’s not Jesus who bothers me, it’s bloody Christians. And, they have entirely too much influence in politics here. Utterly disgusts me. I want them to know just how much they sicken me, for if evil exists, it is they who embody it most.
