Not plain old earmuffs, but mirror image earmuffs (see at about 16 seconds), also note that he is shooting tomatoes with a shotgun, so not much need for accuracy.

Reagan and W, for two, but of course that's partly because they won.

Good grief, he has a spokesperson who may be more stupid that he is. There may be no lower bound.

I believe a fair few Polish Jews fought with less effin' big, but still big enough, guns bolted on to some balsa wood with an engine at the front and wings on the side, too.

Doesn't look like they had anywhere as cool <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Polish_Air_Forces_in_France_and_Great_Britain#United_Kingdom" target="_blank">names</a> as Monty's crew, though.

Remember when McCain had to unaccept John Hagee's endorsement after audio surfaced of him saying this:

<blockquote>“Then God sent a hunter. A hunter is someone with a gun and he forces you. Hitler was a hunter. And the Bible says - Jeremiah writing ? ‘They shall hunt them from every mountain and from every hill and from the holes of the rocks,’ meaning there’s no place to hide. And that might be offensive to some people but don’t let your heart be offended. I didn’t write it, Jeremiah wrote it. It was the truth and it is the truth. How did it happen? Because God allowed it to happen. Why did it happen? Because God said my top priority for the Jewish people is to get them to come back to the land of Israel.”</blockquote>

Let's not forget the Night of the Long Knives, when Hitler had Ernst Röhm murdered. Being head of an entire (well-armed) militia did Röhm no good.

He knows that (1) if you get genocided, it's because you didn't have enough guns, and (2) if you didn't have enough guns, it was because of gun control.

So simple, even a plumber can figure it out.
