10. How About That Coveted Second Ammendment?
According to the survivalists, the right to own firearms up the wazoo was supposed to be the ultimate safeguard in preventing a tyrant from "destroying our freedoms". I can still see the smug Repugnican face I used to debate this topic with and that was his stock answer. Of course he'd never hit on my follow up which was "how about if one of those tyrants is one of us???". He always assumed it's be some guy named Ivan or Abdul or Wang Chung.

Now with this regime hellbent on destroying the very civil liberties the libertarians and other "strict constitutionalists" and second ammendment nuts have fought for, what will or can they do? The NRA is conflicted like crazy right now (why else would Craig vote WITH Feingold???) and it might be interesting to see how this group separates it's support for this regime for their love of either guns or the constitution.
