[Colonel Kangaroo]

“Many states and localities are also strongly against the right to bear arms flatly guaranteed to American citizens by the 2nd Amendment. I’m glad our Union heroes fought for the Constitution against the Confederates’ crusade for all-powerful dictatorial state and local government.”

This is the equivalent of “I know you are but what am I?”.

Epic fail...

Every bit as valid as equating the suppression of a slaveowners' rebellion with a fight for an all powerful dictatorial federal government.

Whatever helps you feel all warm & cuddly at night.

But dont forget that this is what you stand against:

“When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
