HOUSE REPUBLICANS PASS BILL THAT REPLACES FOOD STAMPS WITH GUN STAMPS

by R J Shulman

WASHINGTON – (PTSD News) – House Republicans narrowly passed a bill today that eliminates what was left of the food stamp program and replaces it with a new gun stamp plan.  The bill’s supporters say the new program will help millions of Americans purchase firearms that would otherwise be out of reach.

“As usual, Democrats and liberals have for years supported Communist stamp programs that ignore the Constitution,” said Marlin Stotzman, R-Indiana, “There is no Constitutional right to food, but there is for guns and unlike socialistic food stamps of the past, the gun stamp program has solid Constitutional backing.”

“Now there will be millions of Americans who will be able to exercise their Second Amendment rights for the first time,” said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor.  “We estimate that as a result of this new law about 8.5 million children will not have to go to school without a gun.”

The bill passed 217-210, mostly along party lines.
