Permits? We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Permits!
Thank you God, it is North Carolina this time.
A major gun-rights bill took an unexpected turn Tuesday with a proposal to eliminate the law that requires people receive a permit from their county sheriff before they can buy a handgun.
Yes Dude, that is exactly what we need – more mentally disturbed people and felons with guns. THAT is exactly what has been missing in North Carolina.
They also want to be able to carry their handguns into bars and other places that serve alcohol, because what’s more fun than a drunk with a pistol? I mean, it’s not like fights ever break out in bars anyway.
Buck Newton, The Enhancing Man
“We’re here to enhance our Second Amendment rights, which have been too long restricted by the previous majority,” said Sen. Buck Newton, a Republican who represents parts of Johnston, Wilson and Nash counties.
Yeah, let’s do some enhancing! Let’s let kids carry guns and convicted dope dealers. Let’s enhance the hell outta North Carolina.
Why limit it to just people – how about monkeys? Can monkeys have guns? And no, I am not being tacky by suggesting that Buck Newton has a strong resemblance to most primates. Okay, maybe a little tacky.
Thanks to David for the heads up.
The only thing less intelligent than a Republican in government is the person(s) who voted for them….
1With a proposal like eliminating gun permits, Buck Newton must be more closely related to Fig Newtons, than to Sir Isaac Newton. No offense to delicious Fig Newtons.
2And there is a slight resemblance:

No rights in the Constitution are unrestricted. Freedom of speech does not allow you to shout “Fire” in a crowded theater because it puts the people there in danger. Freedom of religion does not allow human sacrifice no matter what your God requires.
And freedom of gun ownership does not allow you to fire freely in a crowded bar or to perform impromptu human sacrifices on a whim.
The safety and rights of the general population require that all rights have common sense limitations.
I think it’s the common sense part that is missing here.
3@brian, It pains me to say you are correct. The Republican who got elected was smart enough to figure out a way to get the taxpayers to pay him a salary for doing nothing smart or anything to help the stupid voters who voted for him.
I think Arizona already has the law stating that people don’t need a permit to buy a gun or to carry one.
4@June.. TX legislators are a constant threat to our citizens…. especially when legislating 🙂
5Just wait until Buck Newton (that’s an actual legitimate handle???) wakes up one day and remembers that as a small child a whirlwind descended upon him as he played in the yard of his childhood home owned by a pair of liberal parents and sucked him up and dumped him right out of the sky on the front porch of stick it to ’em fundamentalists who immediately mistook him as a gift straight from God in heaven and “adopted” him. Then it will be as the song says, “whatcha gonna do. . .”
6My God [father of Jesus] put the kabosh on human sacrifices a long, long, long time ago!
I’d have to say that Buck Newton’s face vaguely resembles the backend of a babboon or maybe a chimp … and the haircut/style … kinda makes me think Hitler!!
Colorado isn’t a whole lot better with their gun-toting open carry beer drinking morons!!
7Buck Newton IS a primate! We are too! Thing is, he LOOKS like a weasel afflicted with the same thing Miss Utah has- that thing that makes the brain drip out the ears! (It may just be plain old atrophy from disuse, as in “if you don’t use it you lose it”!)
8“Let’s let kids carry guns and convicted dope dealers.” You want kids to carry convicted dope dealers? It’s a typo slip (and I truly know exactly what you were trying to say) but it gave me a much needed laugh. It’s been a long day.
9Rick, thanks for the Fig Newton link. Now that’s funny. Good ole boy Buck, however, thinks more guns in more places will enhance his rights. Hope he’s up to date on his mutilation insurance for morons.
10These are often the same folks claim to be angered by someone saying that Darwin’s theory of evolution means that they’re related to monkeys. I’ll trade them – I’d rather be related to monkeys than to that clown.
11Primates have just been insulted big time!
