Here’s a link to today’s article at Bearing Arms…
2014 is going to be the year of relentless attack on our Second Amendment rights.
His Royal-ness the Dishonorable Nanny-pants Bloomberg is now unemployed, and will be able to devote his full and undivided attention to helping us understand what’s best for us. We have a President in office, who, while not otherwise occupied vacationing, seems to believe that his lack of experience qualifies him to make unilateral decisions that no one else wants or agrees with. And last but not least, Vice President Grumpy McCrankyPants has not yet been distracted by a new Cracker Jacks trinket, so he’s still on a gun control rampage. Oh yeah, and Piers Morgan still lives here.
With all that looming in front of us, it’s time that everyone understands the real history of the Second Amendment. You heard it here first folks…
Once upon a time…
In a faraway land called Murrica, there was a great struggle, lasting many days and nights. You see, the settlers of Murrica were tormented by an insatiable and covetous evil troll known as George Threepence. While George lived across the great waters, in the hinterlands, he insisted on taxing the settlers with many fees and regulations. After all, he did not get the name George Threepence for his generosity.
Fed up with overzealous overdraft fees and parking tickets without representation, the villagers of Murrica were desperate to be free of the troll. They called upon a new leader, George Chiseled-Face for help. George Chiseled-Face had a plan. He knew that the good people of Murrica were well schooled in the use of magic kablooey powder and many of them maintained stores of it for their personal protection and other uses.
Without delay, George Chiseled-Face rode throughout the land of Murrica, yelling at the top of his lungs, “Militia! Militia! That means you – all you settlers of Murrica!” And it was in this way, that the people of Murrica had determined to organize themselves into a fighting force to oust George Threepence, the troll. For the people did not trust big armies like George the troll had. They preferred to call themselves up to service and yell “Militia!” with great enthusiasm as needs arose. It was most exhilarating!
Using their wits, a collection of farm animals and copious quantities of magic kablooey powder, the good people of Murrica, led by George Chiseled-Face and many fair and white-wigged princes, fought battle after battle with troll George’s Red Socks, until finally forcing them out at home plate.
Very food post here friend. People DO need to read some Revolutionary War history before they dare an attempt to overturn the 2nd A….but they are, rather, more well versed in running their rhetorical speeches than they are at reading. With some of the remarks I’ve seen online, I have to wonder if the majority of them were even able to pass a basic grammar class, and were especially unable to recall their American history class. Sad but true methinks. Oh well, if ignorance is bliss, anti-gunners are speaking to is from heavenly places.
Doggone it I just saw a typo in my first sentence. Excuse the typos and blame them on my lack of dexterity due to an injury, and on a set of large thumbs
Peace pal

Couldn’t agree more! Appleseed is a great way for folks to learn more about our Revolution War history.
This made me laugh – thanks! “Oh well, if ignorance is bliss, anti-gunners are speaking to is from heavenly places.”
