“If a politician says you don’t need a gun, you need a gun”

“If a politician says you don’t need a gun, you need a gun” is a political saying that has been printed on many images.

“If a politician says ‘You don’t need a gun…’ You Need A Gun!!!!” was posted on Twitter by Butch Wright (and others) on October 14, 2014. There is an image of Statler and Waldorf, a pair of Muppet characters known for their cantankerous opinions.
