Guns 'r Us

The bumper sticker read, "Guns kill people like spoons made Rosie O'Donnel fat."

Now I am wise enough to realize that no matter how much the gun lovers and the gun haters scream at each other nothing will ever really change. What irritates me is the lack of foundation in some of the arguments embraced by both sides. In this case obviously someone who is pro gun.

Looking at his argument logically we are supposed to equate a spoon with a gun.

Rosie O'Donnel may not meet his standards of beauty but whatever she does with a spoon she only damages herself if she abuses its use. She is not driving through the hood throwing spoons at innocent bystanders. A spoon will 99.9% of the time hurt only the over eater and no one else. Of course in those rare cases someone can sharpen the spoon into a shank and use it to stab someone but how often does that really happen.

A gun on the other hand is a horse of a different color. Sure the majority of gun owners practice gun safety and do not run around willy nilly firing at anything that moves. However in the wrong hands guns ruin lives on a daily basis. Such as in a drive by when the intended target escapes a hail of bullets while a sleeping baby winds up with a bullet in the brain.

His bumper sticker does not hold water.

I am sure most would agree, have a stance but at least think through your arguments before sharing them with the world.
