Yesterday, Glenn Beck absurdly warned that President Obama’s executive action on background checks for gun buyers would prohibit anyone who seeks mental health treatment from owning a gun. Today, American Family Radio’s Bryan Fischer took this nonsense a step further on his radio program when he declared that Obama’s action will prohibit anyone who doesn’t believe in climate change from owning a gun.
As Fischer explained it, those who represent a danger to themselves or others due to mental illness are not allowed to possess a gun and since Obama thinks that climate change poses a serious threat, it only stands to reason that Obama believes that anyone who doesn’t share his view about climate change is mentally ill and represents a threat to everyone else and therefore cannot be allowed to own a gun.
“If you are a danger to yourself or to others because of a mental health issue, then you can be denied the right to own a gun,” Fischer said. “If you and I deny that man-caused global warming is anything to worry about, then that’s going to make us a danger to others and unfit to own a gun.”
