Two Words
Fuck you.
Those are my two words.
Fuck you to gun fetishists who think that their “right” to own an arsenal trump my right to make it through the day without being shot dead.
Fuck you to Second Amendment absolutists who claim that any common sense restrictions on guns are a blow to liberty.
Fuck you to those who reread that same Second Amendment. Want to read it? Here it is.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
The “right to bear arms”, in the plain meaning of the text, is a corollary to the necessity of a militia. The last time I checked, people aren’t exactly being called up to join volunteer brigades.
