    Default US Senate candidate wants to give shotguns to homeless

    Hey einstein. First thing they'll do is sell the gun and buy booze.

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...-with-shotguns

    march 15 2018 A Michigan candidate for US Senate has proposed arming homeless people with pump-action shotguns in an effort to reduce crime.

    Brian Ellison, who is running against Democratic incumbent Debbie Stabenow, says homeless people are “constantly victims of violent crime” and providing them with firearms would provide a deterrent.

    Ellison, a Libertarian who is expected to be the party’s candidate in the November midterm election, said he had settled on pump-action shotguns for practicality purposes.

    “Frankly I think the ideal weapon would be a pistol,” he told the Guardian, “but due to the licensing requirements in the state we’re going to have a hard enough time getting homeless people shotguns as it is.

    “Getting them pistols is probably next to impossible. The pistols need to be registered, people have to have addresses.”

    Carrying a concealed pistol is illegal without a permit, Ellison said, “whereas open-carrying a long gun is completely legal”.

    or maybe they drink to kill the pain of being a crime victim all of the time, bigot
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    Stupid idea, but somehow you just make yourself King Stupid while handling the idea. Now the focus is your stupidity instead.

    I must confess to removing Text from my ignore list just to read his post that you're responding to. He's back on now, so fear not. lol

    What a great idea! Give the homeless shotguns! Cull the herd! Watch as they're rolled by criminals who then murder each other with Gubmint Gunz!

    I'm glad that I read this so I know who my Senator is up against this November. LOLOLOL

    this guy is a libertarian so i don't think he really had much of a shot (haha) at winning. I think everyone should have a gun but they have to buy it themselves. You give it to them and they're gonna sell it.

    Apparently he thinks so...
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.
