While arguing against a proposal for safe storage requirements for firearms, Minnesota state Sen. Warren Limmer (R-Maple Grove) contended that rural citizens need guns readily available to deal with cows.
“You even walk too close to a cow, and it’ll take you down and trample you into dust,” Limmer said. “Fumbling around with a lock while a cow or a bull or any other animal is going after your daughter or your son — you can’t fumble around with a key or try and find the lockbox or put your thumb on a biometric key of some sort in your home while the danger is outside. This bill puts those individuals in even more danger.”
How do Americans have the dumbest people in their country making fucking laws?
Has this guy ever set foot on a farm? Needing a gun with you always to prevent killer cows from killing your children is such a pants shittingly stupid thing to say.
I grew up around cattle farms in Canada, and pretty much every farmer owned a rifle, but it was to protect the livestock from stuff like coyotes and other predators.
Most states do outlaw sodomy.
