“I’ve heard of people being killed playing ping-pong—ping-pongs are more dangerous than guns.”

—

Incoming Texas state Rep. Kyle Kacal on the deadly threat of — PING PONG.  (via officialssay)

Seriously?

SERIOUSLY?

This is an elected official. This is what else he said:

“People know what they need to do to be safe. We don’t need to legislate that—it’s common sense,” he said.

REALLY? I guess “Don’t go to school” wasn’t on the list of THINGS NOT TO DO TO BE SAFE you fucking asshole.

Yeah, ping pong is super fucking dangerous. Which is why you hear about all those mass ping pong murders.

This is an elected official.

“Once everyone’s gun is locked up, then the bad guys know everyone’s gun is locked up.”

HELLO FEAR MONGERING! Yes„ the answer, I guess, should be MORE GUNS because that will make us safer, which is why letting the assault gun ban expire has made us more safer.

OH WAIT, except that it has had the opposite effect.

Kacal, who reportedly operates a hunting business

At least he had the decency to recuse himself from saying anything fucking stupid because it might be a conflict of interest.

notably came out against a bill instructing Texans how to secure their assault weapons.

He was against a bill that instructed people how to secure their weapons.

Once again:

He was against a bill that instructed people how to secure their weapons.

It’s always good to be against information.

That’s when he said:

“People know what they need to do to be safe. We don’t need to legislate that—it’s common sense,” he said.

Yup. I guess it was a good thing that Adam Lanza’s mother didn’t have her guns locked up so she could protect herself from her son who shot her in the face with her own gun before killing 20 children and 6 school workers.

It’s good to see that we shouldn’t have any trouble getting people to agree that we need to take steps to protect children from armed madmen. All we need to use is common sense!

What an idiot.

I wonder how many times he’ll be re-elected. Sadly, I bet he’s probably got a long career in politics ahead of him.
