I want to own a gun.

You can't own a gun unless you pass a mental health exam.

Why's that?

Because we can't let crazy people own guns.

OK, I'll take the exam.

Alright. Why are you here today?

I told you, I want to own a gun.

I'm sorry, but you don't meet the qualifications.

What? Why not?

Because you want to own a gun.

Yes. I want to own a gun. That's why I'm here.

No. You're here to see if you qualify to own a gun but as you want to own a gun you do not qualify.

So the only way to own a gun is to not want to own a gun when taking the mental health exam to own a gun?

No. That would be crazy.

OK. So if I come here to get a gun because I want a gun I'm crazy, but if I come here to get a gun because I don't want a gun I'm still crazy?

Yep. That's Catch 22.

:P

I've always been crazy. :twitch:
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

Oh well, just lets wait for the next crazy nutter, allowed by your laws to own military style assault rifles lets loose in some crowded mall or high school somewhere, and see what the death count is this time...

Probably wont have to wait very long...

Can't have the omelette of freedom without breaking eggs, I guess...

And that's WHY I carry a gun, and why at least 50 percent of the public should also be carrying guns.

Yep, and sensationalism sells. Disasters are looked for. Nothing is unbiased.
