    Except if you have guns then we will be pussies of highest order.

    THAT’S how the 2nd amendment and much else of the Constitution was intended to be used, I feel. Y’know, before the people lost their damn minds for various reasons, and maybe they understood the importance of backing each other to keep the power-hungry at bay.

    But now we’ve stood aside as we got things like State-defined rules for having proper unobtrusive protests, and unions that must be “authorized” and promise not to get in the way too much, binding arbitration without a right to a jury trial, and police shove and beat journalists while a loud chunk of the population says “He must’ve had a good reason! What’d you do?”

    God help us.
