While taking Amtrak from Chicago to Tucson...I had a conversation with another passenger about that subject! I told him it's not that Democrats or Liberals don't own guns...we just don't feel it's necessary to tell everyone!

I pointed out that every time some gun humping Republican wears or carries a gun in a public setting...they're letting us know who has them and where they are! Making it easy to find them.

Wandering around walmart with a gun on his hip would be my first target if I were planning on shooting the place up.

He makes his intentions quite clear and should indeed be questioned by the Secret Service.

for the reason this asshole imagines it was.

It was more like 'if the Portuguese Navy shows up to invade South Carolina, they don't have to wait for the Federal Army to show up to defend themselves against the invasion, cause they can have their own armed militia in each state'.

that they wanted to get the people to arm themselves, allowing them to call up privately owned arms.
then it got real popular w slaveholders.

now that we have a standing army, and a national guard, there's no reason for any loose militias anywhere.
