    ...but I'm not seeing the analogy.

Yeah... it's a stretch, but...

Turkey = Good

Tofu = Good

Trying to make a turkey out of tofu is wrong-headed, and ruins both ideas.

No Fly List = Bad

Gun Control = Good

Combining the two legitimizes the bad one (the No Fly List) and sets it in stone, while doing literally nothing good for the Good idea (Gun Control).

There's a parallel there, right? Right?

Hello...?

Bueller...?

(is this thing on?)
