Or.....and bear with me here:  I PAY the government $300 a month, and I get to shoot one person per month.  Seems fair.

Since the guns are at fault, they need to make it "per firearm."

I've stopped myself from shooting anybody for about 700 months.  How do I sign up for back pay?

If you're dead yes in which case they fill out the form for you.

300!  That's peanuts!   ;/

DeBlasio is planning to pay murderers $1000 a month not kill a second person!

How much per month if I identify I didn't shoot someone?

Sounds like they might be getting more sneaky at a back door gun registration.   :laugh:

Do I get paid double if I agree not to kill TWO people every month?

So what happens if someone in this program does kill someone? "Well, yeah, I shot Claptrap, but he wasn't the dude I agreed not to shoot, so gimme my 300 bucks!"

Actually, if the program is to encourage people who have a history of or are likely to shoot people then you would be a prefect candidate. Just don’t do it again.

Programs like this have been around for a few years now, and we've talked about them before. Supposedly, the do reduce violence.

I think they're a perfect response to violent crime for a lily-livered society that would rather pay tribute to the barbarians than make the barbarians pay for their crimes.
