Statements that are just as Ridiculous...

Statement:
"If a resident has a handgun in the home that he can use for self-defense, then he has a handgun in the home that he can use to commit suicide or engage in acts of domestic violence," Breyer wrote.

Statements that are just as Ridiculous:
If a resident has a knife in the home that he can use for chopping onions, then he has a knife in the home that he can use to commit suicide of engage in acts of domestic violence.

If a resident has a razor blade in the home that he can use for hair removal, then he has a razor blade in the home that he can use to commit suicide or engage in acts of domestic violence.

If a resident has a rope in the home that he can use for tying down furniture so it won't blow away, then he has a rope in the home that he can use to commit suicide or engage in acts of domestic violence.

If a resident has a car in the home (or in the garage) that he uses to get to work, then he has a car in the home that he can use to commit suicide or engage in acts of domestic violence.

If a resident has a bathtub and a toaster in the home that he uses to bathe and warm his poptarts, then he has a bathtub and a toaster in the home that he can use to commit suicide or engage in acts of domestic violence.

If a resident has a bottle of Drano in the home that he uses to clean his pipes, then he has a bottle of Drano in the home that he can use to commit suicide or engage in acts of domestic violence.

If a resident has a belt in the home that he uses to hold up his pants, then he has a belt in the home that he can use to commit suicide or engage in acts of domestic violence (or domestic fun).

If a resident has a poisonous snake in the home that he uses to do Lord knows what with because why would you possibly want a poisonous snake in the home, but it is America, so if he wants a poisonous snake he has the right to own a poisonous snake, then he has a poisonous snake in the home that he can use to commit suicide or engage in acts of domestic violence.

If a resident has a plastic bag and some duct tape in the home that he uses to put kitty poop in and secure ducts, then he has a plastic bag and some duct tape in the home that he can use to commit suicide or engage in acts of domestic violence.

In other words, the gun, and Justice Breyer, are merely tools.
And I'm studiously ignoring the whole poisonous snake angle...
