I know it’s changed MY life.
I had to shoot it out with three other motorists, AND engage in a sword fight, this morning on my way to work.
I tell you, it’s like the wild west out there ever since the Gang of Nine declared, against “all precedent”, that the 2nd Amendment protects an INDIVIDUAL right to keep and bear arms.
Mr. Journalist who wants to abolish the Second Amendment,
Before publishing your column calling for the eradication of gun rights did you do all of the following?
a) Undergo a Federal background check to see if you should be allowed to exercise your First Amendment rights.
b) Fill out and sign an affidavit to testify that you should be allowed to exercise your First Amendment rights.
c) Wait for five days to cool down before you exercised your First Amendment rights.
d) Have your column writings tested by local authorities with a copy of your writing style on file. (Otherwise known as a ballistic fingerprinting)
e) Have the serial number of your column recorded with your name and address by local, state, and federal authorities.
f) Get fingerprinted by your local police.
g) Take a mandatory 16-hour Journalism Safety course.
h) Have your name and address published in the local newspaper stating that you had applied for a permit to carry your column around with you.
(In Ohio)
j) Are you required to keep your columns locked in a cabinet when not in use.
k) are you allowed to write only one column every 30 days?
You had me going until I read about the sword fight and then I knew you were just pulling my leg. ;^)
Yeah, there goes that pesky Constitution trumping policy again.
But fear not, Barack Hussein Obama will burn it on the steps of the White House during his inauguration and CHANGE this country into something as fresh and new as communism. Resistance is futile!
That same day -- which we now call Heller Day -- we each purchased a new handgun from a local gun store.
