The 28th Amendment - Gun Control Version

One of our LGS posted this on Facebook this afternoon, and I figured I’d share the humor… (I did a search and couldn’t find this little gem anywhere, but feel free to delete if necessary :stuck_out_tongue: )

[i]The 28th Amendment, as drafted, will implement a series of common sense gun laws and implement new revenue streams for Americans.
The 12 provisions below will work to make America a more safe place by eliminating the obviously failed experiment that is the second amendment.

The second amendment of the Constitution of the United States, being no longer necessary to a secure state is hereby nullified.

The production and sale of new firearms, being defined as a rifle, pistol, or other gun, will be disallowed until a time in which the number of firearms in circulation is equal to 50% of the population as determined by the Census.

No gun may reside in the same building as anyone who has failed a mental health evaluation, as performed by a medical professional, as approved by the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare).

A mental health examination, as performed by a medical professional approved by the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) must be passed in order to receive a firearms license.

An income tax equal to 4% of an individual’s income will be assessed by all gun owners. In states which were at any point in time a part of the Confederate States of America, this tax shall be equal to 10% of an individual’s income. Taxes levied under this amendment shall be appropriated in equal portions to programs to expand Affirmative Action programs and begin to pay reparations to the descendants of African slaves.

Any person making the choice to own a firearm must carry $250,000 worth of liability insurance for each weapon owned. This insurance must be provided by a publicly owned insurance company to be established.

All firearms must be retrofitted with both a global positioning transmitter as well as a fingerprint activated locking mechanism. Failure to comply with this provision will result in a fine, prison time, and forfeiture of the privilege of firearm ownership.

The National Rifle Association, Michigan Militia, and other “gun rights” groups shall be considered terrorist operations.

United States Marshals will be randomly placed at various “sporting venues,” where a firearm could be otherwise legally discharged. This could include publicly or privately owned venues where the following (but not limited to) take place: hunting areas, shooting ranges.

In a calendar year, no person may buy more than 100 rounds of ammunition.

Assault rifles, semi-automatic, and automatic weapons, as well as those not fitted with GPS and trigger locking devices will be immediately seized by the government. The owner will be compensated fair market value of the weapon, minus the cost of the seizure operation.

President Obama will establish a Secretary of Firearm management. This office will have final say over future gun regulation to prevent against rampant innovation that was not forseen by the second amendment.[/i]

That’ll stop those criminals…:rolleyes: Maybe start with enforcing what’s already written.

The level of stupid that needed to go into this is amazing.

If this even remotely gets considered there should be a 29th amendment, which I call the “ban free speech” amendment. I mean, if you can nullify the 2nd amendment, you can nullify free speech, right?

An income tax equal to 4% of an individual’s income will be assessed by all gun owners. In states which were at any point in time a part of the Confederate States of America, this tax shall be equal to 10% of an individual’s income. Taxes levied under this amendment shall be appropriated in equal portions to programs to expand Affirmative Action programs and begin to pay reparations to the descendants of African slaves.

This is the one that just gets me rolling.

Nice joke. Very funny. Lots of laughs.

…I’d laugh, but that reads a little too much like exactly where this county might be heading.

What is really bad is that just reading it, I would not be 100% sure that this IS a joke.

It isn’t something far enough beyond the Pale that I would consider it obvious sarcasm/irony.

That is actually kind of depressing.

It’s all funny until you realize that someone somewhere in a policy making more than likely thought “just maybe”…

Even over on Democratic Underground they think it’s unrealistic and a joke.

Unless dear leader proposes it.

Has to be a spoof. I just saw this under the ad section:

And sure enough goes to the NRA website.

Will not comply?

Seriously though, I could see some libtard actually suggesting something like this. I mean we see it for the ruse it is but I can picture some friggin’ idiot out there going “You know, that makes sense! Who do I write to?”

It’s common sense man!!! Where’s Biden he should be all over this.

He’s MIA on Amtrack. They have enough fish to fry not having to deal with his looney shenanigans.

The comments left on site are getting pretty good.:smiley:

I’m thinking this is a pro-gun guy just trying to flush out the anti-gunners. It shows too much understanding on the subject to be real. The Brady Bunch and friends never do their research; they only say the same lines over and over: “We support the 2nd Amendment, but we can agree that the Founding Fathers never anticipated assault weapons…” or “No one needs an AR-15 or a 30 round ‘clip’ to hunt deer.”

That was actually kind of scary to read.
