Tweet of the day

[sellitman]

@ivanwhite48: Only in America can gun ownership be a right and healthcare be a privilege.

[Ilsa]

1. Rec. nt

[Dustlawyer]

2. K&R! Driving is a privilege, what's the difference with guns? I don't understand why sensible

restrictions would be so bad. They treat it like a slippery slope to losing their guns. What they fail to see is, if this keeps going at this rate, they may lose the 2nd Amendment altogether! Wake up NRA!

Make yourselves heard! If you view this, please comment and re-tweet! Now is not the time to sit on the sidelines! Please make yourselves heard! Our bought off politicians in both parties need to know that we have had enough! If enough of us speak out we can actually do something good!

11. I am twitter illiterate.. can you post a link? . . .n/t

[Dustlawyer]

31. I am far from knowledgable. I went to Twitter and signed up and got an account. This original post

can be re-tweeted to people, or sites on Twitter that you follow. I put my politicians on there so that it goes to them as well. Good luck and I apologize for my lack of knowledge. My kids think that it is funny.

4. Arizona Republic story header...

..on the very day Gabby Giffords was shot:

[DhhD]

6. Red states removed Mental Health initial care from their states. Some counties with populations

large enough, can have some care through a hospital district tax, and a county mental health screening for application.

Let us say that someone is behaving very irregularly. Loved ones and persons in charge, let's say at a college, have no place to refer theses people. Did a person in need of mental health care go out and shoot a lawmaker in Arizona? Did Arizona allow this person to be unchecked in society? How about people with TB? They know to SEEK health care. How responsible is this State toward total health care especially when it is turning down and threatening its own responsibility?

[DhhD]

5. Where is the well regulated Militia part of the 2nd Amendment? Americans need to put the regulation

in NOW.

[Atypical Liberal]

8. They were usurped by the federal government in 1903. n/t

[cthulu2016]

7. This Tweet makes no sense... it's just false

Anyone is allowed to go to the healthcare store and buy all the healthcare they can afford.

And the government does not have programs to buy guns for people who cannot afford guns.

The Tweet of the day suffers from a fatal apples and oranges problem.

Why not say that reading Mein Kampf is a right but eating is a privilege? It is the same argument.

[sellitman]

15. Actually its spot on.

Anyone in America can afford a gun.

Heathcare? Not so much.

Yet the right to own a gun seems to be more important to many.

That is sad.

[cantbeserious]

20. Agreed - The Corprations Must Be Served Above The Needs Of People At All Cost

What a pathetic country the US has become!

[dchill]

25. Apparently, gun rights are in the Constitution. Health care is not.

And good, comprehensive health care is definitely a privilege of those who can afford it. I don't have any problem with the tweet's comparison. Why do you? Apples and oranges are the same thing, in a way - they're both food.

[awoke_in_2003]

29. "all the healthcare they can afford"...

therein lies the problem.

[MotherPetrie]

9. K&R

[NoMoreWarNow]

10. it's exactly the opposite in Canada

as my Canadian friend is happy to point out.

[Buddaman]

12. Get the fucking ASSULT weapons banned!!!

Get rid of ALL on-line weapons sales.........TAX the shit out guns and ammo....Just for starters

13. Borowitz tweet

Andy Borowitz ?@BorowitzReport
If laws controlled guns the way the NRA controls politicians, the US would be the safest country in the world.

14. I like it

good point about our national values

17. Apparently compared to gun ownership rights, life is also a privilege.

[WashingtonConsensus]

18. I laughed

[sellitman]

21. Let me in on the joke.

I could use a good laugh about now. What do you find humorous?

[Paper Roses]

19. I know it will never happen, constitutional rights or not. Ban All Guns.

Nothing is settled by a bullet. Neither are mental illnesses curbed by violence.
We are all upset by happenings inn Connecticut. Unless we gather these weapons, will there ever be an end?
Offer gun holders money to turn in their weapons, disallow future sale.

The hell with the 'right to bear arms'.
