Hypocrisy 2008: The Gun Issue

Yessss!!! it's the Sears catalog from 1968. Today at PMW we're going to turn back the clock for a few minutes. Look and these smiling white folks and their high powered fire-arms! Yep...that's how it used to be. Back in the "good ol' days" of LBJ, Wilt Chamberlain and what looks to be gender-ambiguous haircuts. Boy I'm sure Tommy, Billy and Petie are having a SWELL Christmas with their high powered rifles! We've come a lot of way since those days. There was less government, there were less rules and black people had a lot less freedom. No no...i know what you're thinking. This isn't Ron Paul's wet dream, this was ACTUALLY America, some 40 years ago. Believe it or not the 60's were a liberal's paradise. Free Love, rampant drug use and some musical acts that haven't necessarily been topped yet. So is this just another conservative family, providing their children the necessary means to fend off the deranged hippie masses? Perhaps a local hippie population has over-dosed on LSD. Their zombified corpses wandering aimlessly through the streets droning on about free love and communism? (GASP) they must be killed! No No, i offer you a scenario much more unbelievable then any Zombie gore fest you can possibly imagine!

This is a (you better sit down for this...)

LIBERAL family!

"Bullshit!" you say, "I can spot a liberal family from a mile away!" Well allow me to weave together for you, a tapestry of truth and opinion. Long ago, when the lines between "conservative" and "liberal" were a little bit more grey, so called "liberals" did a lot of things that conservatives today naturally call their own. Hunting, shooting, fishing, fighting wars.....these are all activities that involve fire-arms. I know I know, you're thinking "bullshit, people don't fish with guns" ....well you couldn't be more wrong.

All the arguing aside, liberals indeed have a long and dedicated past regarding the advancement of the fire-arm. While it was conservatives (Nazis) who actually invented the assault rifle, it was really liberals (Communists) who were responsible with it's sophistication and advanced production. All told, liberals created the most widely used and what many have claimed "the best assault rifle ever made". Any guesses as to what that might be? Yep, you got it. The AK-47. Pictured below is an elite soviet soldier with an AK-47.

So today, after examining history I think it's time we take a step back. No, liberals aren't anti-gun. For those of you who are NRA members, nobody has had done more to give the "common man" real firepower like liberals have. There are an estimated 70 million AK-47s circulating worldwide. That's why it's been called "the world's favorite killing machine." THANKS LIBERALS. Since 1947 they've been doing a darn good job of arming the world ;)
