“Republican” Senatorial Candidate Loves Violence, Mayhem, and Sedition.

Joni Ernst, the Teapublican candidate for Senate in Iowa, is well known for her bloodlust and castration fetish (hint: if you are a male and find her on Tinder, DON’T SWIPE RIGHT. She’d love to “swipe” your wedding tackle).The fact that Iowans look like they’re gonna send this crazed, latter day cross between Lizzie Borden and Sweeney Todd to Washington is pretty damned revolting. But hey, what’s a little serial genital mutilation between friends, right?

Now, though, we can add sedition to the list of Joni’s criminal predilictions: she wants to use her gun to take over the government, and to get rid of Obamacare. Click that link there for the details:

“I have a beautiful little Smith & Wesson, 9 millimeter, and it goes with me virtually everywhere,” Ernst said at the NRA and Iowa Firearms Coalition Second Amendment Rally in Searsboro, Iowa. “But I do believe in the right to carry, and I believe in the right to defend myself and my family — whether it’s from an intruder, or whether it’s from the government, should they decide that my rights are no longer important.”

Iowa, really? The “candidate” wants to kill, mutilate, and maim people she doesn’t like, by her own repeated admission. And you like her well enough to send this person, who wants to overthrow the government, to help RUN the government? No, Iowa, seriously, really?

Dafuq?

Gun Nuts have jumped the shark: Iowa is granting carry permits to the legally blind

Christ in a teapot, this is beyond stupid. Iowa is allowing legally blind people to carry guns in public. Yes, that is correct.

This is bats*** crazy. Blind people packing heat and blazing away on the street. Absolutely bugf*** insane.

From the Des Moines register:

Private gun ownership — even hunting — by visually impaired Iowans is nothing new. But the practice of visually impaired residents legally carrying firearms in public became widely possible thanks to gun permit changes that took effect in Iowa in 2011.

“It seems a little strange, but the way the law reads, we can’t deny them (a permit) just based on that one thing,” said Sgt. Jana Abens, a spokeswoman for the Polk County sheriff’s office, referring to a visual disability.

Polk County officials say they’ve issued weapons permits to at least three people who can’t legally drive and were unable to read the application forms or had difficulty doing so because of visual impairments.”

People, please: this is where the NRA and gun nuttery in general have gone. To a very strange place indeed, where not just convicted felons and the mentally ill must have guns (yes, they think that); but now, blind people who cannot see what they are shooting at must have guns, too. If there is a dumber, crazier, and just generally jackass idea out there than this one, it will be surprising.

Guns for people who cannot see. Good God.
