Oh The Onion. Funny site, The Onion recently posted another one of its fake news pieces. This time its about overzealous guns rights advocates and their decision to retranslate the Bible to include clauses from the Second Amendment. Could this be in response to McDonald v. City of Chicago? In this recent case, the Supreme Court’s latest decision which sided with gun rights advocates on the the Second Amendment’s integration in the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. As such, cities and municipalities championing handgun bans will have a harder time barring residents from ownership of guns.
Here’s the newspiece quoted in whole:
CHICAGO—A new translation of the Bible released this week directly mentions the Second Amendment on eight occasions, and includes a version of Psalm 23 that begins, “The Lord is my shepherd, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” Positive early feedback praised the new edition for its clean design, readability, and beautiful rendering of proverbs that condemn the foolish ban on semiautomatic weapons for personal use. “For the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and give your enemies over to you,” Deuteronomy 23:14 reads. “Your camp shall be holy, and if that means exercising your constitutional right to purchase a firearm, then that’s your own damn business.” The leather-bound book also comes with a handsomely crafted carrying case and a fully loaded, nickel-plated Glock 17 8mm.
