Wacky liberal Rep Timothy Horrigan has come out against a New Hampshire law that would prevent welfare recipients from purchasing guns and alcohol with EBT cards.
From Fox News:
A New Hampshire Democrat lawmaker is speaking out against a bill that restricts what people can buy with government entitlement funds, saying booze, tobacco, lottery tickets and even guns should be permitted.
The position Timothy Horrigan, (D-Durham), took this week on the Statehouse floor in Concord, stating that barring purchases of firearms with Electronic Benefits Transfer cards, violates the Second Amendment, put him at odds with some gun control groups and in the same camp as some pro-gun groups that often disagree with him.
“It’s not up to me to make that choice for people,” Horrigan told FoxNews.com. “I’m not saying that they should be allowed to use their benefits to buy up an arsenal, but they have a right to purchase guns for hunting or self-defense. If you or I have those rights, then they should as well. It’s not my place to tell them what to do.”
According to Horrigan, the law would be violating the “rights” and “freedoms” of leeches who receive generous tax-payer funded subsidies, and therefore would be un-American. The Founding Fathers are spinning in their graves.
