If only Justice was so efficient.

If it were, there wouldn't be an enemy of Obama left standing.

There’s a difference between justice and Justus.

Never confuse the means of justice with the ends. A system of justice is reliant on three things: that justice is administered by a disinterested third party that is more powerful than either side of the argument; that all offenses are against the common law; and that all parties are treated the same before the law.

If justice is not disinterested, as with the current Just Us Department, the system fails. If the offenses are not proscribed, but just offend the feelings, sensibilities, or are otherwise subjective (see “hate crimes”), the system fails. And if there is unequal treatment before the law, the system fails.

In the case of the Obama administration, the moral of the Aesop fable is correct: that “a tyrant needs no excuse”. However an axiom to that is that “tyrants always use excuses anyway.”

Obama could be as tyrannical as he wanted to be, yet is too timid to take advantage of it. Right now, were he to have sufficient henchmen, he could order thousands of his political enemies murdered. By private firing squads, or the Nazi or Soviet preferred method of bullets in heads in basements.

But as guns can be used to oppress, they can also be used to redeem, and fight back against Obama’s minions. Something they would consider intolerable, and “not fair” (and probably would call “racist”). But this would not be the fault of the guns involved.

In the final analysis, the individual states should be encouraged to have the possibility of firing squads in their laws, as they are inexpensive, efficient, and quite difficult to appeal. Doing so would help to expedite the execution of many savage multiple murderers. Definitely a major benefit to society.
