[lbo-talk] Kinky... Why the hell not?

[andie nachgeborenen]

The concession I'd make is guns. We've lost that
battle anyway, never mind the text of the Constitution
and Miller v. US (holding that the right to bear arms
is not individual), let the gun nuts and the rural
states arm themselves to the teeth under the
protection of the 2A. As we used to say in the CWP,
until we got blastd at Greensboro by people who knew
how to shoot, If guns are outlawed, only the law will
have guns. I've never shot a gun in my life, but I
think we should fully support those to whom it is
important.
