The second amendment is an ugly eighteenth century relic in our Constitution, just as slavery was. It's always been used as a tool of oppression and terror.

Slaves revolting, workers striking, Indians won't leave? Call your fucking "militia." Tell a bunch of fools with guns they are patriots and they'll shoot anyone.

Gun love is disgusting.

We're not going to get rid of all the guns. Properly stored, guns are indestructible and there are millions of them. But we can recognize every gun lover as a potential terrorist, suicide, or tragic accident waiting to happen.

Smoking and drunk driving have yielded to social pressure. Gun love will follow.
