UK Police To Allow Gun Users To Renew Licenses With iPhone App 271
Sussex police are creating a number of iPhone apps for the public, including one to renew your gun license. Unsurprisingly, the plan has some anti-gun groups upset. Lyn Costello, of Mothers Against Murder and Aggression (MAMAA), said, "This isn't suitable, especially in light of what happened in Cumbria. We've got to be extra careful giving gun licenses. We have this attitude that gun murders don't happen very often so it's OK to be lax, but it is not OK and we've got to do everything in our power to stop it happening again. We can't put money before life and if you start to do that we are losing our humanity. It is a really stupid idea.''

Come on now - everyone knows that guns actually contain demons which possess any person unfortunate enough to come into contact with them. Radioactive demons, with large carbon footprints. They also eat sea kittens.

If the US we have MADD (mothers against drunk driving), so it's obvious what they are for: sober driving
Presumably MAMMA is in favor of peaceful resolution of conflicts.
MASIC already has a name: Christian.

MAMAA... just killed a man. Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead...
