We can’t restrict high-capacity magazines because gay marriage leads to bestiality

The Texas Republican got very creative -- and very offensive -- in recent remarks against gun control

Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert started to answer a question about a ban on high-capacity magazines during a Tea Party conference call this week, but ended up talking about - wait for it - bestiality.

Here’s what Gohmert had to say about his

What? That doesn't even slightly make sense. The comparison would make significantly more sense if he were arguing the opposite of what he actually is, in fact, and saying that limits on fire arms are necessary or else we'll have people walking around with nuclear bombs in their pockets.

But, hey, I'm willing to run with the gay marriage = guns comparison. I have a solution to both problems: Nobody can have any guns, period, and nobody can get married, period. Owning guns leads to owning assault rifles which probably leads to WWIII, and cishet marriage leads to queer marriage which apparently leads to bestiality and giant grasshoppers. Let's just nip this in the bud and completely ban both, and then, while we're not busy wondering whether our six year olds need backpacks made out of armour, we can push through some social/immigration/healthcare reforms that don't suck and will finally actually solve the problems that marriage has been acting as a bandaid for. Oh, and while that's happening, you can have consensual sex with whomever you want, meaning that sex with members of your own gender is fine as long as everyone involved gives clear consent, but sex with children and animals is not fine because neither children nor animals are capable of consenting. Notice how adult queer people are neither children nor animals. This isn't hard.

OMG that giant grasshopper is terrifying. Also the duck is huge, or the horse small, and I'm pretty certain changing human social mores aren't going to convince a beaked animal to like tongue. But what do I know? Maybe all the kinky ducks get off on that. What an amazing poster.

(Edit to add: I am also willing to jump on your no-guns-or-marriage bandwagon, btw).

Well, ducks are pretty kinky to begin with.
