Ohhh mama, could I ever rage about this... I've just gotten my latest round of alerts from the NRA on votes concerning various firearm and ammunition acts, and the latest involves some sort of ban and/or tax.
Now come on. For one thing, it's in the Constitution, and has been there and will remain for the entire existence of this country. We were built on the right to arm ourselves, and is there any - ANY - politician in the WORLD who thinks that their career would survive past their current term if ANY firearm inhibition were placed on the US citizens?
Come on. I live in hick central. Smack-dab in the center of Pennsylvania. I guar-an-fucking-tee you that if ANYONE in power allows a ban or outrageous tax through, and every single one of them will be up in arms and marching on the Capitol. How...completely... incompetent can anyone be if they really think that the US will allow something like that to happen?
Honestly, I'm completely dumbfounded by this. Anyone even proposing such absurd bills should probably be admitted to an asylum shortly afterward; what with all the shootings in Philly on a daily basis, even IF they managed to put a ban or tax through and weren't immediately assassinated, weaponry would almost immediately become a black market. Look at marijuana, that shit was made illegal, and just today I was offered some in the freaking lobby of my apartment building.
I honestly could really fly off the handle about this, but I'm trying to keep the language somewhat clean, and I really don't think I can go much farther on this without relying on sailor's English.
To sum it up: American politicians are positively insane. Fin.

I loved the pun in this. "Up in arms" made me giggle. But on a serious note, this was a great argument!
