Me and My Guns

So you are an NRA member.

You proclaim and support your right to bear arms under the constitution. Why not? Like religion and press, you have your own constitutional amendment in the Bill of Rights.

Currently, your amendment ranks #2. So why not be proud and celebrate it.

Bearing arms is useful. With real unemployment, U6...

Not that phony U3 where you are only unemployed as long as you are collecting unemployment insurance payments... once you run out of unemployment insurance you are no longer counted as unemployed by U3... are you any less unemployed?

I thought so.

What if you are an unemployed construction worker and there are no construction jobs in your area for you to apply for? You are then marginally attached according to U3 and therefore not unemployed...are you any less unemployed?

I thought so.

So real unemployment, U6 is closer to 16% and will probably rise close to 20% by that fine election year of 2010.

With millions of people running out of unemployment insurance and no new jobs under the Bush implosion and Obama no plan/ no recovery team of Save Wall Street Bankers Summers and Save Wall Street Bankers Geithner, the food budgets of Americans may get a little meager during record Wall Street bonus season.

That is when it may pay to have a shotgun and a hunting rifle. Deer and pheasant. Many of us may need to put some food on the table.

So you 2nd amendment fans have a practical side as well.

But I have to ask you something:

You, Steve Urkel looking rifle carrier interviewed near Obama town hall meeting:

Yeah, you.

I have to ask you... Let us think about this logically:

1. You are walking around armed at a political event where the President is present.

2. The FBI, Secret Service and NSA are clearly going to be using full video surveillance and face recognition software, running the scans through state ID and drivers license data bases to identify you and locate your residence...even if no one officially walks up to you and asks for ID.

3. You will then no doubt be subject to full NSA wiretaps, electronic location surveillance and records searches, bank, tax, etc.

4. So you accomplished what walking around with your AR-15?

Painted a big bulls-eye on your own ass?

You think you are going to become some sort of gun control martyr when the ATF shows up and seizes you and your guns?

Or is it more likely they will serve the warrant at 4am and no one but you will even notice you are in custody.

No right wing hero press appearances... nothing. You will be held as a non person at the leisure of your government.

Until 45 days from now when your ex wife did not get the child support and files a complaint with the judge in family court...then some one will miss you.

Even if it only is your ex wife wanting the child support your jailed ass failed to pay.

That is what I think is funny about people who walk around with guns because they can... serious people don't make a show of it.

SO you think the Obama administration is going to willfully violate numerous laws to 'get' some guy who did nothing illegal? If you believe that you should be protesting against Obama on a daily basis, unless you're scared he will come after you too. When people become afraid to exercise their rights, they have already lost them.

SO you would not know satire if it hit you in the head like a 2x4?

SO when the post opens with...

"Warning! May contain Conspiracy Theory Related Materials!" and a goofy picture of the tin-foil hat icon, it never crosses your mind that you might be reading... ah what is the word... sarcasm?

SO you restore my faith in the ignorant American public...
