Stuffed-uterus-loving Democratic Missouri State Rep. Stacey Newman has penned an op-ed for Cosmo, which the mag was only too happy to share with us:
It Should Be Just as Difficult to Buy a Gun as It Is to Get an Abortion https://t.co/Oh0Csowair pic.twitter.com/SLw5sKb4se

Sounds profound, right? Wait until you actually read it:
Earlier this month, I pre-filed a bill in the Missouri House, where I am a representative, which would require those buying a gun to undergo similar restrictions as women must undergo for an abortion.
Under this bill, if you wanted to buy a gun, you would have to endure a mandatory 72-hour waiting period so you could think seriously about your purchase. You’d need a doctor’s written permission, and you’d have to purchase your gun at least 120 miles from your home, which is the average distance a woman in Missouri must travel to reach our sole abortion clinic. I also included in the bill a required viewing of a 30-minute video on fatal firearm injuries, a mandatory visit to an emergency trauma center that treats gun violence victims, and a mandatory visit with at least two faith leaders who have officiated at funerals of victims under the age of 18.
…
I am sick and tired of bills in Missouri penalizing clinics, physicians, and patients with insane new requirements. And at the same time, I am sick of watching the gun lobby buying the Missouri GOP party. I am angry watching gun manufacturers profit as gun violence fatalities add up. I am furious about the misogyny that permeates my state Capitol, with male legislators thinking nothing of interfering with women’s private reproductive care. I am disgusted and just plain mad.
Bless her heart. Stacey thinks she’s making some kind of bold statement here. Alas, the only statement she’s making is that she’s desperate and ignorant — and that Cosmo’s just as desperate and ignorant for publishing that garbage.

@Cosmopolitan the ignorance in this tweet…

@Cosmopolitan It's already far harder to get a gun. What kind of dogma-addled brainless sycophants do you have writing there?

That’s a pretty safe bet.

@Cosmopolitan What was the waiting period for your abortion?

Dana Loesch has another good question:
So @Cosmopolitan wants to give guns to kids without parental consent? https://t.co/J93tImqtl4

Yeah, Newman and Cosmo reeeeeally didn’t think this one through, did they?
@Cosmopolitan This tweet didn't quite turn out like you'd hope, huh?

Ya regret this Tweet yet? We can keep going if you don't.— RebelMcRebelstein (@dkpete01) December 17, 2015
Don’t mind if we do.
They also must oppose forcing gun dealers to report suspected cases of straw-man-buyer abuse. https://t.co/0sKhRBOeoo

@Cosmopolitan – Ask a 15 year old how hard it is for them to legally purchase a firearm.

@DLoesch @BurtZerker @Cosmopolitan Does this mean the government is going to start funding gun stores?

Hey, Cosmo, something to keep in mind for next time:
Word of advice @Cosmopolitan , stick to telling feminists how to get the attention they crave from men and stay away from political issues.
