[TheForge] Sighting in Rifles

[Bruce Freeman]

Read it again, Andy.

He was complaining that it was his Constitutional
right to bear arms, and to wear neither seat belt nor
motorcycle helmet.

I was contrasting that against what I consider rather
important Constitutional guarantees that, I believe
you agree, the current President chooses to ignore.

I suppose that's what happens when you elect a
president who was stoned on cocaine all through HS
civics class...
