Kansans once again have aced Missouri residents when it comes to fashionable and rational trend setting. Governor Sebelius signed a law allowing Kansas residents to own Machine guns, sawed off shotguns and silencers!! That's right boys and girls, you can be the first kid on your block to barricade yourself inside your leawood home with a machine gun!! Stocks take a dive, and you want to go on a killing spree why go half assed, you can hold the police at bay a whole lot longer with a fully automatic weapon!! Looking for a new way to trick out that Hummer? How does a 50 caliber machine gun mounted on a tripod sound? And ladies, this isn't just for the guys, I hear Fendi and Gucci are both making stylish purses with special compartments to hold that mac 10 you've been eying. Kids, are your parents giving you a hard time about that new BMW you want for graduation? Well pop a cap in their ass with dads own silenced pistol, the neighbors wont hear a thing!!!
Seriously this has got to be the most bone headed law to come down the pike since some clown decided blow jobs should be illegal. Governor Sebelius has lost her rabbit ass mind. In 2006, she vetoed a bill allowing qualified Kansans to carry concealed handguns, only to see the Legislature override her, yet she put a stamp of approval on John Q's right to own a weapon that can spray hundreds of bullets in a matter of seconds. Way to fold Kate.
The reasoning behind this law being passed is that Gun dealers cant legally posses machine guns, silencers and sawed off shotguns, making it illegal for the dealer to deliver these types of weapons to the police. That reasoning seems pretty thin to me, couldn't the law have been written so dealers could posses and sell them to law enforcement, without letting any knucklehead who could pass a background check buy them as well?
And then there is this moron, Senator Phil Journey, a Haysville Republican who is a strong gun-rights advocate and championed the bill. Want to know his reasoning behind allowing regular folks to posses these weapons? Well it's a really sound and valid argument, if you are Corky who starred in Life Goes On, that is. "I can't even afford them," said Sen. Phil Journey. Whew, I can breathe a sigh of relief. According to the idiot in Senators clothing, Machine guns are really expensive, so you don't have to worry about a fully automatic weapon falling in to the hands of the poor cash strapped common criminal. Unless said criminal happens upon one while ransacking some Machine gun owners house during a burglary. When asked why someone would need a machine gun, silencer or sawed off shotgun, the senator wisely responded, "Why would you own a corvette?" Because classic cars are just like Machine Guns, except they don't spray a shitload of bullets.
I've got no beef with gun owners, if you want to have a small arsenal in your home, that's your right. But there is no rational argument for a private citizen owning a fully automatic weapon, a silencer or a sawed off shotgun. And one last thing Senator Journey, shotguns don't cost 20 grand, you can get a used one for about a hundred clams and hacksaw blades are dirt cheap. Now put your helmet on and go play with the rest of the idiots in the Kansas senate who passed this bill.
