Should Dick Cheney be allowed to use a gun?
 

They say "guns don't shoot people, people shoot people". Since The Big Dick shot his friend Harry in the face, should he ever be allowed to handle a gun again?

If you have an auto accident, should you be allowed to drive?

If the accident is your fault, sometime your license is taken away, and you are forbidden to drive.

But you don't have to pass any sort of skills based test to use a gun. No license to take away.

Based on what I know about the incident in question, the fellow struck by the shotgun pellets was essentially jaywalking. Not exactly the kind of accident that causes licence revocations or rises to criminal negligence. Revoking a driver's licence is a criminal matter.

Depends on the kind of gun, how it's used, and the jursidiction. Are you proposing that Cheny's hunting licence be revoked? That would follow your analogy.

Harry is a bad example, because it was his poor shooting discipline that lead to his taking a face full of birdshot.

I was looking for an option that said something like "no, unless he's hunting with Dub"

:lol:

I don't think the Veep should be allowed to do anything besides playing with Legos in a padded cell.

:notworthy :rotflol: :notworthy

Yeah, its right there in the Texas hunting laws (Sec T14 subparagraph 3). "Dick Cheney is allowed to ignore the first rule of hunter safety and point his gun and shoot without seeing his target." As Joan Didion once wrote, "I avoid careless people. It takes two to make an accident." :right:

And here we thought it was only Republicans who would lock you up for your politics.

The Republicans aren't joking.

I want *the Republicans* to lock him up. He can still cash his under the table Halliburton checks over the Internet.
