WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe (R-OK), took to the Senate floor today amidst a highly contested debate about gun control in wake of the tragic events that transpired in Las Vegas. Just days after the deadliest mass shooting in modern United States history, which left 59 people dead and about 500 others injured, the U.S. Senate called a special session to debate gun control policy. Inhofe, who strongly denies that any sort of gun policy would have any effect whatsoever on the ability for anyone to buy any kind of gun, brought a gun on the Senate floor and proceeded to shoot himself in the abdomen as a real example that gun control policies would not work. “See?” he strained through his clenched teeth, holding on to the podium for dear life to prevent passing out from the pain and blood loss, “No amount of policy could have stopped me from shooting myself in the gut just now.” Met with applause from several Republican Senators he continued, “In case we’ve forgotten, this year has been the year with the lowest recorded gun related deaths to date on Earth, I don’t care what any scientist or the news says. You know what this is? It’s a gun that I just picked up from outside, so no piece of paper is just going to make it go away.” Inhofe was then almost immediately taken to the nearest hospital and was not available for any further comment.
