Description
Randall paused as he looked at his collection of assault rifles and semi automatics. He barely used them but sometimes liked to admire his collection. He thumbed the dust off his favorite rifle, his Rutger 10-22. Randall hadn't used this gun in nearly five years, not since he had proudly taken it to the shooting range. It wasn't the most useful weaponβhe had taken it hunting only once, and had misfired. He was still proud of it, though.The ex-hunter dusted off the rest of his assault rifles and pistols. The thought crossed his mind that maybe he could sell them; after all, he hadn't had any use for them in years. He also thought of going to the shooting range today. But he could always do it tomorrow. Satisfied with that thought, he left his gun room and sat down in his favorite chair. He turned on the television, watching Fox News.
"Senator Feinstein is proposing legislation that will ban the use and sale of certain assault rifles and pistols, as well as certain cartridges. This assault weapons ban will..."
Randall had heard enough. Walking into his gun room, he shouldered his Rutger 10-22 with a sense of pride. As he did so, he felt rage boiling up inside him. He needed this gun! To shoot... things! How dare they take it away from him! He called his wife, telling her he wasn't making dinner tonightβhe was going to the shooting range for a long, long time.

You can download the mp3 for free as of this posting (it will eventually become a paid download so don't wait too long) and play it on any mp3 player. Carlin is a little intense, don't be put off by his aggressiveness. It doesn't matter if you are for or against gun control, this podcast will probably change your opinion on many aspects of the controversy.

To many guns being traded to people for other things like dogs money and other things one may want.
even if they did ban the guns. there are to many people that have guns. they would have to send people to these places to take them. which in the end would end up in a very very bad way for everyone.
but other then that. i liked it. nicely written. now i want to take my Henry .22 out to a gun rang.

If assault weapons were banned, they would be grandfathered, meaning that if you owned one of the assault rifles being banned, you would be able to keep it and people wouldn't be taking them from you. This was meant to be sarcastic and not serious, but I wanted to point that out.
Thanks for the comment.

Well, that sucks...Sort of. I mean I wasn't keen on the "satire" part. But yeah, all the bans are a nightmare!

It was meant to be sarcastic, hence the satire. If you want to know my stance on the subject (which was reflected in this piece), feel free to note me about it.

I could sense your stance on it, and I don't think we'd agree very well.

That's okay, agree to disagree.

Although this is something I don't like to disagree on, lest I promote both psychos and tyrants. But I understand, it's better than getting everyone to hate everyone else.

And she answered, "Take more than one gun, I'll meet you there."
Sorry, I felt the need to add on.

Well, when I wrote it I meant for him to go practicing for the day they try to take his guns away... But it's up to interpretation.
