Disney Tells NRA to Fuck Off

After the NRA managed to push a bill through the Florida legislature allowing employees with concealed weapons permits to store guns in their cars while they’re at work, Disney found an interesting way to exempt itself:

Disney cites language within [the bill] that creates an exception for companies whose primary business is to manufacture, use, store or transport explosives regulated under federal law… Disney has such a permit, for the extensive fireworks used in its theme parks.

What’s really great, though, is the reaction of Republican lawmakers who signed off on the explosives language:

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” said state Sen. Durell Peaden, a Panhandle Republican and one of the authors of the bill… “I intended it to exempt places like defense plants, Air Force bases, things like that… But not Disney. Not at all.”

Did you hear that? He’s pissed off that they won’t allow handguns at Disney World. This is the caliber of scumbag you have working for the NRA.  The thing is that, in Florida, Disney will always win because in the end they’re twelve times as evil as the NRA will ever be, and they have a trillion-dollar cartoon mouse that will NEVER go out of copyright.

By the way, this is your unofficial cease and desist notice. Please remove the parody of Mickey Mouse or else. The Disney Corporation thanks you for your support of our policy and clever loop-hole finding,but unless you pay us like now, Mickey on your blog must go.

Man, don't you know Robby the Rat when you see him? I don't know who this "Mickey" is, but I've heard he's pretty "fine."
