Jim Carrey is hilarious in ‘Cold Dead Hand’ video…

Funny or Die released a new video this week that stars Jimy Carrey playing a few roles in a music video called ‘Cold Dead Hand’ which is a satire about the NRA and their attitude towards guns in America. The social satire is razor sharp and the backlash to this video which basically says men are using guns to make up for their small ‘packages’. Carrey has not been a fan of the gun lobby and he held nothing back here, in a video that is his funniest stuff since his years on In Living Colour.

Monday School: Religion and guns…

 

It’s Monday! Time once again for Monday School, STILL “The Rational Corrective To All That Nonsense They Tried To Teach You Yesterday!”

Today’s lesson is going to be a bit of a review cause I’m coming back to an issue I’ve discussed a few times already. I’ve already dedicated a few entries to the issue of gun control. Today I’m going to do a quick recap of those entries and provide some new information where religion is concerned regarding the topic.

Pres. Obama makes bold moves to fight gun violence

True to his word, President Obama has stepped forward with more than just words. Today with Vice President Biden by his side, Obama announced the most aggressive gun control police reform in over a generation. This is going to be more aggressive the assault weapon’s ban Clinton managed to pass (with a Republican House) in 1994.

The proposals that are getting a push from the White House is going to include requiring criminal background checks for all gun sales, a ten round limit on all ammunition magazines, reinstating the assault weapons ban, eliminating armor-piercing bullets, providing mental health services in schools and allocating more funds for law enforcement. This push is very ambitious and I’m sure the President is going to address this issue during his inauguration speech on Monday.
