Schwarzenegger makes weird analogy

Recently I heard Schwarzenegger say that gay marriages need to be stopped in San Francisco. Something is happening here with these gay marriages. The very institution of marriage appears to be changing into something quite a bit different, causing us to ask what is a marriage for, anyway? But that is another story. What I am talking about is Schwarzenegger's weird analogy. He says if we allow gay marriages today, it will be assault weapons tomorrow and drugs after that.

Whaaa?? What does marriage and the bond of love do with something whose main purpose is to cause a large amount of violence? I heard it on TV from one of the cobrides who got married recently to her girlfriend. Marriage is a bond of love between two people, and represents attraction and a desire to have a family. What does that have to do with guns? She felt offended by the Terminator's remarks. I think Schwarzenegger has Terminator in his brain. In the movie, all someone has to do to maintain their point is pull out a gun. Schwarzenegger, this is reality. It is not a rootin', tootin' movie.

Now he would be more on the target instead of saying guns and drugs, he had said marriages of three or more people. I feel that is coming next. For if two people can come together to an agreement of support and love and to form a family, why not three or four or more? I think three or more person marriages may be the trend of the future, given a lot of aging baby boomers with little or no family to support them or give them comfort. It is my belief that such marriages work best with at least one man and at least one women, but when it comes I believe that we should legally honor three and four person marriages, even if all are of the same sex, just as we are now doing with two-person same-sex marriages. If Schwarzenegger had said this, he would have made sense. It's evident that he is still living in the movies.
