Get a Knife, Get a Dog, but Get Rid of Guns - Molly Ivins

This Op-Ed was written by Molly Ivins (Page 384 Orange Book)
This piece is the ONLY Menippean satire in the group. This piece casts a moral judgement on gun control while also using the comedic and light-hearted mockery found in Horatian satire
- No argument can be made for calling this a Juvenalian satire; L bozo
- “There is no rational argument for guns in this society”
This Op-Ed uses heavy stereotyping, diction, sarcasm, and understatement

“Members of wacky religious cults are not part of a well-regulated militia”	Stereotyping
“A general substitution of knives for guns would promote physical fitness”	Understatement
“How do they know it was the dearest wish of Thomas Jefferson’s heart that teenage drug dealers should cruise the cities of this nation perforating their fellow citizens with rifles? Channeling?”	Sarcasm
“There is more hooey spread…”	Diction
“I do think gun nuts have a power hang-up”	Stereotype
