"Sorry, but my guns were lost in a tragic boating accident"

 I can't tell you when I first read the by now old joke that if they come for my guns, I lost them all in a tragic boating accident.  It has been a popular joke on internet forums for at least 20 years.  So it was hilarious to read at the American Thinker today that a Texas State legislator has taken the joke one step further in Too funny: resolution would inform the federals that the people have lost all their guns in a boating accident by D. Parker.

Texas Rep. Bryan Slaton recently submitted a very unique resolution — H.C.R. No, 54 — for consideration before his lawmaking colleagues. The proposal would inform the federal government that his constituents have lost all their guns and ammunition in an unfortunate and regrettable “series of alleged boating accidents”.

One of the more enjoyable aspects of fighting back against the fascist far-left arises from the fact that they are unable to laugh at themselves or others, lest they “offend” someone.

Sure, they’re always up to attack certain groups they consider to be the “enemy” — in other words, normal people. But besides that, they have no sense of humor; that’s where we can have fun with them, hitting them in their incessant crisis mode.

This means that their anti-freedom authoritarian ways are always open to mockery, especially when it comes to a running joke in the pro-freedom community. Slaton’s submission of H.C.R. No. 54, is a stand against the march towards exhaustive federal databases which inevitably lead to confiscation —...

The joke, which as I say is a staple on gun forums where people discuss not just their favorite guns, brands, and calibers but also gun politics has even been immortalized in the Babylon Bee.

But in all seriousness, we all know the history of weapon confiscation. The ancient Samarai class, for example, prevented the peasants from having swords. So it has always been. But our wannabe overlords have a huge problem. They have not conquered us. Indeed, the "federals" were delegated certain limited powers by us. Among those was NOT specifically the power to confiscate our guns. We the People are the boss here, and what boss allows his servant to disarm him? This could be why the "federales" are so intent on making the Constitution a dead letter. But until they do, we'll keep our guns, thankyou. "We might need them for squirrels and sech."
