Trust the government that fears your...gun?
John Lott, a serious individual for whom I have a lot of respect, posted this article about men undergoing vasectomies in exchange for fast tracking a gun permit.
KOLKATA // A government scheme offering fast-tracked gun permits to men who agree to undergo a vasectomy is being criticised by the men who say officials are reneging on the deal.
One year after it started, men in one of India’s most violent regions who underwent the procedure in order to arm themselves for protection are still waiting for their permits.
Aside from the obvious perils involved in trusting the government to follow through on any of its promises, the irreverent side of me could not help but point out that the government was offering these men gun permits in exchange for them shooting blanks! Heh.
