For McSweeney’s, Sarah Hutto offers up a list of things that are more heavily regulated in the United States than buying a gun.
Building a fucking shed in your own backyard
Disposing of fucking batteries
Cutting fucking hair for a living
Watching a fucking DVD
Importing foreign fucking cheese
Transporting a bottle of opened fucking wine home from a restaurant
Discussing the Las Vegas massacre yesterday on Fox Business, commentator Kennedy said:
If that psychopath had…driven a truck into that crowd and killed 100 people would we be talking about truck control?
Many quickly found the flaw in this “argument”, including @zeddrebel:
WE HAVE TRUCK CONTROL. Special licenses. Insurance. Regulations. Weigh stations. UNIONS. Bollards. GPS tracking…
(And btw, yes, it’s that Kennedy, the former MTV VJ and host of Alternative Nation.)
