[font size=5]Samantha Bee Rips GOP’s Orlando Shooting Response: Yes, I Do Want to ‘Take Your Guns Away!’[/font]
.... In response to Florida Senator Marco [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Rubio, who said this shooting could have happened “anywhere in the world” and this was “Orlando’s turn,”[/FONT] Bee said in disbelief, “Orlando’s turn? Mass shootings are so normalized that we’re taking turns?” In fact, she said this could not happen “anywhere in the world” given that other countries without a Second Amendment, such as Australia, do not have anywhere near the problems America does.
“We can’t constitutionally get rid of all guns,” Bee admitted. “But can’t we get semiautomatic assault rifles out of the hands of civilians?” She imagined the headlines: “Sam Bee wants to take your guns away!” To which she replied, “Yes! The ones that mow down a roomful of people in seconds, yes, I do want to take those guns away! These high-capacity penis substitutes are a shitty choice for hunting and home protection, but are perfect for portable mayhem.”
And do not get her started on Florida Governor Rick Scott’s suggestion that the best response to a massacre like this one is to pray. “Until we as a nation find the political will to reject a mass shooter per day as the price of freedom, I’m just going to pray,” Bee said sarcastically, clasping her hands and looking to the ceiling.
“Are you there, God? It’s me, Sam,” she began. “Please, bless the victims and their friends and families in their time of unspeakable pain. Give us the courage to say ‘no more.’ And while you’re at it, please send the NRA a plague of boils. Amen.”
