LET’S BREAK DOWN THIS ABSURD CLAIM:
GUNS: The National Firearms Act taxes the manufacture and transfer of, and mandates the registration of Title II weapons such as machine guns, short-barreled rifles and shotguns, heavy weapons, explosive ordnance, suppressors, and disguised or improvised firearms.
- WOMEN’S BODIES: All Americans are supposed to register for a Social Security number and, when they come of age, pay taxes. But women have no special registration or tax applied to them.
GUNS: The Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 and the Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 prohibits interstate trade in handguns, limits the sale of automatic firearms to civilians, and sets 21 as the minimum age for buying handguns.
- WOMEN’S BODIES: Americans can buy or sell services and goods across state line without regard to their gender.
GUNS: The Undetectable Firearms Act criminalizes, with a few exceptions, the manufacture, importation, sale, shipment, delivery, possession, transfer, or receipt of firearms with less than 3.7 oz of metal content.
- WOMEN’S BODIES: There are no legal restrictions on how much metal we add to our bodies, regardless of gender. Many people have dental work, prosthetics, medical implants, even tattoo inks with metal in them. Nobody cares.
GUNS: The Gun-Free School Zones Act prohibits unauthorized individuals from knowingly possessing a firearm at a place that the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone.
- WOMEN’S BODIES: At least half the people who regularly enter school zones are female.
GUNS: The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act requires background checks on most firearm purchasers, depending on seller and venue.
- WOMEN’S BODIES: There are some jobs that require background checks, but to my knowledge, none of them target women in particular.
GUNS: The Federal Assault Weapons Ban used to ban semiautomatics that looked like assault weapons and large capacity ammunition feeding devices. The law expired in 2004.
- WOMEN’S BODIES: Outside of certain professions, such as the military, I’m pretty sure there are no regulations banning people from looking however they please. And the ones I am aware of don’t single out women.
GUNS: There are laws everywhere about not killing people with guns.
- WOMEN’S BODIES: For fifty years, women have been free to hire someone to murder their unborn children.
