And I pointed out, well, once you make it ten, then why would you draw the line at ten? Gohmert remarked. Whats wrong with nine? Or eleven? And the problem is once you draw that limit; its kind of like marriage when you say its not a man and a woman any more, then why not have three men and one woman, or four women and one man, or why not somebody has a love for an animal?
There is no clear place to draw the line once you eliminate the traditional marriage and its the same once you start putting limits on what guns can be used, then its just really easy to have laws that make them all illegal, he added.
Gohmerts comments were published by Right Wing Watch, which has frequently highlighted the Republicans more absurd comments.
He has previously defended the need for 50 round magazines by saying Americans needed to be able to shoot down aerial drones.

There are a few of them that just can't get the stump-broke mule off their minds. I think they call this dry snitching. Pervert.

Hence, the necessity of 50-round magazines to fend off their advances. It really makes perfectly good sense, if you've had maybe one or two more tabs of mescaline than you really should have had.
