Midnight Meme Of The Day!

-by Noah

Surely, this meme expresses an idea whose time has come. Think of it, since Republicans long to always "put women in their place" and tell them exactly what they can and can't do with their lives, their health and even their bodies, suppose every American woman tried to take advantage of our nation's lax gun laws and armed themselves, ideally to the teeth. What would all those angry, fearful white men do? They just might start second guessing their 2nd amendment arguments. They'd be beside themselves, trembling with fear. Might even the NRA kooks start gasping? Hmmm, probably not, as long as the money keeps coming.

Imagine a world... where every women does just like the guys in open-carry states, and never leaves home without the trusty semi-automatic. Imagine a world... where the local diner, Walmart, or, say, pro-choice demonstration, is chock full of women openly armed to the max like modern day Amazon or Viking warriors. They could even tell the guys, "Hey, if you can carry around a penis substitute, I certainly can!" Or, how about, "You talk about penis envy, I've got your penis envy right here, bozo." Suppose the next "Million Women March" was held in a state where Open Carry is permitted. Can you see an emergency session of that state's legislature?

As the ever-escalating ease of obtaining legal guns, legal or otherwise, grows, I can see this idea of women arming themselves to protect their rights, reproductive and otherwise, really taking hold in America. I can see those models on HSN and QVC modeling with guns of all sorts. Lady Luger's anyone? Coupons in the weekly shopping mailer? I see a future of grocery store cross promotions. Buy two jars of Hellman's Mayo or Hamburger Helper and get a 9mm pistol, half off! Public demand can do this. Women do have power! So, why don't they start calling for more guns?

To be fair, and I'm always fair, the blame for a lack of gun control doesn't solely rest at the feet of one party in this country, even if one party is solidly made up of nihilistic true believers who don't seem to mind bullets flying all over the place. A way too large percentage of republicans will even tell you, with a straight face no less, that tragedies like Newtown didn't really happen, are hoaxes, or even "false flag" events.

Many Democrats often go along with the NRA on the issue of gun control, too, even if only out of cowardice and alleged "political expediency." Still, I think there's no harm in putting the idea of, say, making it even easier for every American woman of voting age to obtain a registered firearm or two, or three, or four, or more, many more, without background checks, of course. What harm could there be in that?

Republicans would have a dilemma. They would have to choose between being the fearful little rodents that they really are inside; worried about every woman in the country packing heat, or, reversing course and calling for what they would suddenly call "common sense" gun regulation. Gone would be the excuses that no gun control is needed because an assailant can kill you with a knife just as well as with a gun. You know damn what will pop into the minds of cretins like Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump, or "Ted" Cruz if you suggest giving every woman a machete instead of a gun.

Wanna take this one step further and really terrorize your crazy Republican uncle? How about suggesting that, if things keep going the way they are, every African-American male of voting age, registered or not, will soon have a gun, registered or not.
