National Ask Day
Yesterday was National Ask Day where nannies encourage you to ask other parents if there are guns in their home presumably so you can shame them into admitting they’re bad people for having guns. David has his response. As does Bill Quick (via Kathy). They also ask doctors to ask the same question. My responses vary when asked the question. So, the top 5 SayUncle responses to Do you have any guns in your home when asked by a hysterical nanny:
5 Do you have a warrant?
4 Yes. Don’t you have the best tool to defend my child when she’s at your home too?
3 No, but the kid has, like, fifteen.
2 Yes, a couple of super soakers, which I hear are good for getting the sand out of your vagina.
1 Yeah, what do you need?

None of our kids parents asked us š
Oh wait, they all have more guns than me (well, all but one)

Living in Detroit as I do, I have actually used the last one. And gotten a sale from one, too. š

Living in the People’s Republik of Massachusetts, I doubt I’ll be asked that question – it’s just assumed that we’re all
unarmed sheepenlightened non-owners.I fear for my reaction, though, the day some overzealous rent-a-doc asks my kid at school (we will go over his response beforehand, which basically boils down to “nunya”…).
As for other parents, I won’t lie, but I also won’t volunteer any info. I’d have to have to tell my son he can’t play with little Billy because his parents are gun-fearing asshats…
