On Tuesday, March 23, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) appeared on Fox News where he was expressed disdain over the push for more gun control in the wake of recent mass shootings in Atlanta, Ga., Boulder, Colo. "We do not need more gun control," Kennedy claimed. "We need more idiot control."

On the same day, Kennedy also made an attempt to compare basic gun control measures, such as background checks, to combating drunk driving by stripping sober drivers of their vehicles. CNN's Jake Tapper reacted to Kennedy's remarks on-air saying, "I don't even know what to say to that, it's so stupid."

Since this asshole is a fucking idiot, just maybe he should be given a test to see if he is competent to be in office making that $174,000 and if he can't pass the Rorschach Test he gets nothing and he has to resign or his he to stupid to understand what the Rorschach Test means..............

Yes, Senator, let's treat it lik ealcohol.
Age requirements.
Training requirements.
Licensure, with written and performance testing
Annual renewals.
Insurance requirements.
Registration requirements for vehicles you drive (firearms you wanna shoot).
Safety requirements for said vehicles (firearms)
Annual Inspections of vehicles (firearms)
Fines for using firearms without a license, for using unsafe firearms.
We can play their silly game.
Cafeteria style originalism. Justice Warren Burger blew holes in the whole individual right to bear arms, and his argument still apply.
Until we reckon with the 2nd Amendment's origins in "militias" that kept the "free state" secure from ... Native Americans on the edges of White Civilization as Americans moved west into and beyond Appalachia, and Slave Patrols, who crossed state lines in pursuit of runaway "property." That's why colonists shedding the crown needed to have arms--to shoot Those People.
Twas ever thus.
