Now that we’re almost done with the burials in Connecticut it’s time to make lemonade out of the lemons dealt the country with our latest massacre. Who knew that out of such a senseless act, would come the answer to solving the US debt and spending problems?
Now that we know once and for all that “guns don’t kill people. People kill people” we can lop about $500 billion off of defense spending each year. No point in forking over billions to defense contractors for new M-16’s and their derivatives to arm our troops. In fact, based on the NRA’s exhaustive research into the non-killing nature of guns, there’s no reason why we can’t collect all the guns in the hands of our military and sell them on the open market.
And obviously, if guns don’t kill people, neither do missiles, bombs or artillery shells. More savings!
Once word gets out to the other nations of the world, they too can opt out of pouring money into useless weapons.
I know what you’re thinking: how long will it be before we hear from the NCA (National Crossbow Association) that their weapons don’t kill people either.
Yeah! School districts around the country could pick them up to arm their safety patrol kids, who would wear Good Kid t-shirts, so they could deter potential school assassin types, who would be wearing Bad Man t-shirts!
