While noting that we Muricans are absolute Wacko about er 'personal defensive weapons' == I don't trust anyone out there, so I need to be armed because one of them Might shoot me first yada & yada -
Still and all, as we see that there is actual [same public, BTW] support for the proposition that the congress should cede its Constitutional powers ---> One Man. And that means: everything in our bloated arsenal from knives thru ICBMs -
Thus, ours is not a government to be trusted (it is not even today - a government which was elected - 5 Men selected it.) 5+1 = 6 Men now control the destiny of 290 M slumbering consumer sheep.
Ergo, your point is well taken. And ours is so violent a society from decayed city slum on through decayed [oil] 2-Men at the top: let the &^$&# guns proliferate! Maybe we shall all put ourselves out of the misery we inflict on the whole world via our vulture capitalism, dispensable workers on a treadmill and especially! -
Via our sanctimonious religiosity, ignorance of all things historical and our Disneyland personal fantasies (and don't forget the ever-popular Action Flics which plumb the depths of our fantasies about how we'd Really like to behave towards those disgusting Other people out there.) OK You win.
Arm Them All. And stand Well Back.
(Maybe an ocean away, though that won't stop the ICBMs, sure to be used in any next full-panic mode. We so love to make action-at-a-distance video games into Armed action-at-a-distance couch-controlled destructive objects; no need for close&personal contact at all. We ever stand for Progress --->)
Oh -
Where do I get those exploding bullets and 200 round magazines for my hunting weapon? Maybe Glock now has plastic ammo too, with built-in X-ray-spoofing shield: it looks like an Edam cheese round (?) I have the simplest of tastes. I am always satisfied with the best - especially in Personal-Killing-Assistants. Pref. with a full-color screen and auto-logging of things aimed at.
