It’s Memorial Day, the news is slow, and I’ve got a few minutes to drop a hot take, so you’re getting an article on Monica Lewinsky. I know, I know, I apologize in advance, but I promise I’ll actually make a somewhat decent point by the end of this thing so stick with me.
Lewinsky was famous for several escapades at the White House together with Bill Clinton. Lewinsky has spent the past decade rehabbing herself and going on speaking tours. To that extent, I suppose she’s a public figure, and when a public figure says something mockworthy, I’ll be there.
Of course, her latest commentary came on the issue of “assault rifles” in the aftermath of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, which RedState has covered extensively. Here’s what she had to say.
i get a $450 ticket because a fucking speed camera caught me… and speeding could endanger others.
LEGAL BUT, ASSSAULT RIFLES ARE AVAILABLE.

Watch this mentally strong woman, who avenges gun rights activists with her brilliant logic. There’s really nothing else left to say. Let’s do this confiscation thing because I certainly can’t argue with anything she said.
Maybe I can. Let’s give it a shot.
Lewinsky might not have known this. But cars These areIt is legal to drive. You must follow certain laws to be able to drive your vehicle. This includes not driving fast enough to receive a ticket of $450. That amount has to indicate that she drove 20-30 mph over the limit. You also can’t take your car and run someone down. That’s called murder. Remember, murder is an illegal offense.
The same applies to what she describes as “assault rifles.” You see, you can own one, but there are laws dictating how you use them. A person can’t take their AR-15 and shoot their neighbor after starting an altercation. That’s called murder. Remember, it’s illegal to murder.
Now, let’s put two and two together. A misusing of a firearm is equivalent to a speeding ticket. Thus, Lewinsky’s proclamation of how crazy it is that “assault rifles” are legal makes no sense. Cars and guns are both legal and the way you choose to operate them dictates what laws are or aren’t broken. There has never been an AR-15 that went on its own to shoot.
I get that the revelations I’ve brought forth in this article are highly informative, and I’m happy that I was able to help Lewinsky out.
