Rep. Allen West (R-FL) says that if the government is going to mandate that people purchase health care coverage then they should also require that everyone buy a Glock 9mm handgun.

During a campaign rally in Florida on Sunday, West told supporters that it was "unconscionable" that the Supreme Court upheld President Barack Obama's health insurance mandate as a tax.

"What will be next?" the congressman wondered. "If you don't buy a certain type of green card, they will tax you. If you don't buy a certain type of food, they will tax you."

"Well, I got a great idea," West continued. "I believe for personal security, every American should have to go out and buy a Glock 9mm. And if you don't do it, we'll tax you. Now, I wonder how the liberals will feel about that one."

1. No, no, no...

It wouldn't be a mandate to purchase a Glock, you would just pay a tax if you didn't purchase.

Not the same thing at all.

No one here would have a problem with that, right?

with the LSD darts

3. Un-American bastard

Y'know, Mr. War Criminal, they still make guns in the United States. If we were going to require every American to go out and buy a gun, shouldn't it be one from an American company like Colt, Ruger or Smith & Wesson, and not an Austrian company like Glock?

6. I have a Glock, so I'm good, is how THIS liberal feels about it.

Now, affordable health care, I do NOT have, so I'm looking forward to the Act's implementation.

7. I wish I could get health coverage for the price of a Glock

Then. OK.

8. Damn, what if I got a Beretta 9mm

Or a Glock 40? I guess not good enough?

but partially...I am serious.

9. I feel you are an idiot Mr West.

I hope your constituents remember what an idiot you are come election time.
