Take My Rights, Please!

Wendy Button has written an op-ed piece for the New York Times asking the Federal Government to repeal the Second Amendment. Because like, one time, she was totally in danger, but, like, the police saved her, and she totally suffers from depression, so if she had a gun, she’d kill herself. And, like, lots of people have depression. So the government should absolutely take away the right to own a gun–she can’t just be responsible for not buying something she doesn’t want, can she? So, everybody who obeys the law should have their guns taken away. Totally.

Personally, if we want to set the precedent of changing the Bill of Rights from inalienable to optional, I think that the nation would be better served taking away her First Amendment rights rather than her Second. That way, nobody would be depressed about how idiotic you can be and still get your op-ed published in the New York Times.
