How to end gun violence

I’ve been sure that ever since the slaughter at Sandy Hook went unanswered that it is simply impossible to come up with genuine means of limiting gun slaughter. In the latest incident in Florida, the lunatic shooter bought his guns through legal means and was not deterred from doing so, even though he had a mental health record, a record of loving guns and talking about slaughtering people in the high school that expelled him because he was obsessed with guns.

What in the world can be done about it? When the vast majority of the population want to make it impossible for known menaces to obtain guns but the NRA won’t permit it and the politicians line up behind them, how can the lame ass politicians be compelled to take actions that will save lives?

Well, as a matter of fact, I think I’ve got an answer. An answer that was first suggested in 411 B.C.

Aristophanes wrote a play, you see. It was entitled “Lysistrata” and it centered on the title character convincing Greek women to withhold sex from their men until they agreed to end the Peloponnesian war.

I think that is what every wife of every Senator and every representative of the House should do. All the women should band together and say, “No sex until the gun crisis is brought under control. No sex until we have genuine gun control laws. No sex until you all say to the NRA, ‘Fuck off.'”

Because that is how you hit these assholes where they live. They’re so obsessed with big guns which are, let’s face it, just phallic symbols anyway.

If every wife figuratively cuts off their husbands’ sexual proclivities, I would like to think that that is going to be what turns them around.
