Newslo takes on the NRA and the Gun Rights Crowd

Want to see how absurd the pro-gun position is: meet Newslo.  Newslo is a hybrid news site: unlike  sites such as Newsthump, Daily Mash, Onion, etc. which try to satire the news.  Newslo takes a story and mixes fact with fiction.

Let's take this story:

NRA: Lack of Injuries in Dekalb County School Shooting Proves Guns Aren’t Dangerous

“If firearms are so dangerous, how could one man bring an automatic weapon into a school full of children and not injure or kill a single one of them? Even after shots were fired, nobody was hurt, so how dangerous could an AK-47 be?”

Better yet:

North Carolina Celebrates Gun Pride with Open Bar, Concealed Carry

After all, a statement like this has got to be a joke, or is  it?

 State Attorney General Roy Cooper continues to defend North Carolina’s bans on gay marriage and second-parent adoptions from an ongoing challenge by the American Civil Liberties Union,

Cooper dismissed suggestions that the state’s laws were inconsistent, saying that “the Bible don’t say nothin’ about banning guns, mostly cus they hadn’t been invented yet. But still.”

It gets even better with:

Americans Comforted by Return to Traditional Shootings

“It’s sort of like a necessary numbness coming back, after the terrible exposure that was last week,” remarked Ed Norcross, a Baltimore Police officer. “Every shooting brings us a little closer to normalcy, to healing. I think that’s what the nation needs right now.”

Yep, all the people who die from guns are just the cost of freedom.  And we all know that freedom isn't free--even if the cost is a bunch of six year olds puréed by an AR-15!

Anyway, at the bottom of the story there is the option to show or hide what is true!

I now understand the gun loon arguments which are based upon the science of pataphysics--they are satire and you've been had!

After all, it's only a matter of time for this one:
