Let's Stop With This Stupid "Ban Pressure Cookers" Analogy

Listen up, gun community. I've noticed a "joke" going around the internet among the community lately. In short, let's stop doing it. It makes us look petty and childish. The argument, even if jokingly applied, is about as ridiculous as the nuclear weapon argument used by anti-2A people.


Even Rush Limbaugh gets in on the act with a caller. Enjoy the tripe:

.....And again here on Arfcom (AR15.com for anyone wondering)...



We all know that pressure cookers and cars are not explicitly protected by the Bill of Rights. A parallel cannot be drawn between arms, which are protected, and cars or pressure cookers.

I completely expect to hear this droll and un-imaginative "argument" for the next year, just as we are continually assaulted with the following "argument" from the new left:

NeoLiberal: "So what stops a person from having a nuclear bomb or an F16 for defense? The Second Amendment must have its limits!"

(An excellent response to which can be seen here by Colion Noir.)

We (the gun community) need to step up and stop putting all this BS out on the Internet, even among our own community since this content is public. We know why they are going after our firearms, and, more importantly, we know why we have the right to bear arms. We don't need to make up cute little asinine arguments to support our rights. We have firearms and the Constitution for that.

We have no right to drive cars or use pressure cookers. Let's just stop with this useless mouth finger diarrhea.

/Rant Over
