Oh The Third Thing

That's crazy about neo-republican sensibilities.

Why do you all have to prove you kill animals? Who cares whether Mitt shot moose or elk? It's ALL twisted. Why do you need to prove you can kill animals to be a president? It's a precursor for all the people you are going to be insensitive to killing if you think you have to across desert sands? Recall when Palin made a big deal about the fact she hunts moose dead, and Bachman had to prove she liked hunting for sport. Recall Cheney moosehunting and blowing the guts out of his friend who felt compelled to say- hey, no big deal. I have miles more intestines, what's a few miles of guts blown away? What is it with these second amendment types? Don't they realize that the second amendment came about during a time - revolutionary times- where there were still alive pockets of royalists who wanted to arm themselves against the colonists so the second amendment was meant to protect militias not private vigilantees? Recall there was a War in 1812 where the British nearly burned down the White House to the ground and invaded even the Baltimore harbor? There the second amendment came in handy. Are we actually in danger of a loyalist or royalist insurrection again? Do you realize that most of the arming of the mexican drug lords and cartel is by us and unregulated gun shops on the borders? Most of the weaponry confiscated by mexican drug runners is stuff bought in the US. We are making weapons that kill ourselves. And no one thinks it wierd that people interpret the second amendment to involve private war weaponry to vigilantee citizenry as opposed to 'militias'- or the right to bear arms against the British loyalists? One might think Gingrich at least understands the historical context of the second amendment. Guns don't kill people do? Have you ever seen a person shoot another person with a carrot? Guns kill people.
