Go to hell, you sanctimonious prick.

You know, there's nothing wrong with driving a Ferrari.  Some people quite enjoy it.  From what I've heard, it can be quite a lot of fun for those who know how to drive well, and incredibly dangerous to those who don't drive well.  I can see the attraction, even if I don't share it.  But, even not sharing that attraction, I do not see anything wrong with wanting one.

I guess Biden's thing is that only the elite will ever drive one, and that it's an undeserved luxury.

See what he did there?  He's trying to turn gun ownership into a class warfare thing, a class guilt thing.  "You didn't earn that.  You don't deserve the fruits of your labor."

Except...the comparison doesn't work.

A Ferrari costs a half a million dollars. Many will never even see a Ferrari.  Few will actually own one.  Those who do either worked their asses off to earn the money, or their parents or grandparents did.  Most will drive the car to its fullest potential, many of them safely.

By contrast, a decent to good gun costs maybe half a thousand.  Most Americans have seen, or will see, a gun at some point in their lives.  There are over a hundred million legal gun owners in the United States.  There are probably at least half that many illegal gun owners--gang-bangers, and such.  And those illegal gun owners are often in the lowest socioeconomic quintile.   About half will handle and use one, and most of those will use one safely.  And the only thing wrong with that is that, with the advent of hoplophobia, most of those who don't use guns safely are simply unfamiliar with gun safety because everybody's afraid to talk about it.  Sort of like sex in the fifties.

The other place the comparison doesn't work is this: a Ferrari doesn't bring a feeling of safety and security, the way owning a gun can and does.  And owning a gun can be fun, but doesn't bring the exhilaration to most that owning a Ferrari does to the few that own them.

Sometimes I wonder how many times Joe Biden's mother dropped him on his head as a baby.  And then I think, "Nah, that's not it."

Biden just thinks everybody is just like him: unsafe to be anywhere near a gun.
