So much for arming yourselves against tyrants.
No doubt. I also find it funny that those who scream the loudest about the need to arm themselves against tyranny are also those absolutely willing to vote in an emperor.
But it makes much more sense if you realize that the right to bear arms has always meant, for a large part if not the majority of white Americans the right to “kill any nigger or injun who steps foot on mah property”.
The “tyranny” they are worried about is white trash losing its last teensy privilege: that of being able to carry arms, in public, and not get shot for it.
And before Bill or some anonyhobbit winges about “white trash”, I self identify as white trash that had the great good fortune of getting a university scholarship and getting the fuck out of the paper mills.
