Sorry, nope. If they wanted a gun, they'd get a job, earn some money and buy a *expletive deleted* gun. Don't take my tax dollars for yet another welfare entitlement.
That's not what the bill is about. This is about what people can buy with the EBT they already get. Here:
“Any person who receives public assistance is prohibited from using an EBT card or cash obtained with an EBT card to gamble or to purchase tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, lottery tickets, firearms, or adult entertainment,” reads language from the bill, which also bars use of the cards or cash received for Tattoos and Body Piercing.
Gun aren't tobacco, tattoos, or porn. No one's ever failed to protect their children from home invaders, through lack of porn, tattoos, or cigarettes. This bill should be voted down simply for the high stupidity of putting firearms on the same level of importance or utility with having a picture of a tiger drawn on your back, while you smoke a swisher, and watch Naughty Nurses IX.
We have enough restrictions on firearms, and we've already made it difficult enough for the poor to obtain and carry them. We don't need to be going any further down that road.
