Actually, Pan, it would be more akin to saying that black men can't buy guns, but white folks can. Or that women can't buy alcohol, they must send their husbands in. Because, you know, who wants a decaying society where the black men are armed with guns and wives are getting drunk? Don't you know the dangers of each?
But, hey, you can go to Mass. to do such things. They're all liberal-like up there.
