The 2d amendment protects what we currently want it to protect. Automatic weapons are not protected because they made a law in 1934 to try to eliminate "machine guns". It worked pretty well. As long as you accept that there are some "arms" that the public isn't entitled to, there has to be an arbitrary line drawn between 2d amendment covered and not covered. We just want to move the line.

I don't know if this any consolation, but Rep. Strohm is a critter that we in Oklahoma call a lesser-fuckweasel. That's mainly because he's just doing what I call "Muslim-and-Jew-Hating-Lite."

If you're interested in our major-league fuckweasels, Google up your John Bennett or your Nathan Dahm or, my favorite, Ralph Shortey. Sadly, Shortey (who I think was interviewed on Sam Bee's program) is no longer with us in the sense he has a job. He was a big family values guy who got caught in a motel room with drugs and an underage boy (I know, collective gasp from Wonkettes - my bad, I should have first issued a trigger warning to shield you snowflakes)

Gun debate in the US:

(Swiped from BoingBoing:)

US: I'm on fire

CANADA: jump in the water

US: water won't work, I need more fire

UK: we used water when we caught fire

US: it won't work for us, we like fire too much

US: I'm burning

AUSTRALIA: here is a video of water putting out fire

US: *stuffs fire in pockets*

“Legislative proposals that prevent law-abiding adults aged 18-20 years old from acquiring beer and wine effectively prohibits them from purchasing any alcohol, thus depriving them of their constitutional right to self-medication,” Jennifer Baker, a Beverage Distributors spokeswoman, said in a statement on Thursday.

They're taking away my freedoms!
