We've spent some serious mental energy lately on gun-loving O'Fallon loon and Missouri state representative Cynthia Davis. And with good reason: There's a 24-7 party going on in her mouth, and when she speaks (or issues a press release or sits for an interview), she spreads the good times.
Responding to Justin Kendall's recent close reading of Davis' latest newsletter, commenters threw a party of their own, duking it out over the Constitution and gun control. It's hard to pick a favorite, so this week it's a tie.
The first Comment of the Week takes an immediate stand with the opening
line "Wow, Justin. You really don't know anything about the
Constitution, do you?" Then the commenter gives Kendall homework:
You clearly do not understand the connection between the 2nd and 10thOK,Amendments, nor the over-reaching application of the Commerce Clause by the
feds, nor, most likely have you ever even heard of the Slaughterhouse Cases or
Wickard v. Filburn -- let alone understand the background for those cases. ... Finally, if
you'll google cases of people being killed in churches, you might recognize that
bad guys most often kill more people in "victim disarmament zones", that is,
places like churches and schools where they count on rules disarming their
victims.
fine -- haul out precedent and argue that one's Sunday best should
leave room for a shoulder holster. You had us at "wow," uh ... BambiB. That's Bambi with an I, right?
Sharing with BambiB is Tavo, with a simple but elegant rejoinder:
The ranter above me asked since when constitutional rights have been upThe end. For now.for debate. I would say pretty much since before the first
constitutional convention, but I know that wouldn't get me anywhere
because the right wing believe they're the only people in America who
know anything about the constitution, the end.

And then there is the guy who walked into the FBI offices in Philadelphia, unarmed and managed to shoot three FBI agents with one of their own guns.
I'm all for concealed carry but these folks who think they are Wild Bill Hickok are nuttier than owl shit.
