What if the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution read thus:

“A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear bombs shall not be infringed.”

If this were the case, I am sure our senators and representatives would already be getting warnings from the NBA (National Bomb Association) that the government should not allow the investigation of the crime in Boston to “erode our fundamental rights.”

Reactionaries and weapon-worshippers: one side of the same coin.  A reactionary is a person who respects and obeys only the laws that exist in his own head.

Is your so-called representative a reactionary?  There is a 46 percent chance he or she is.
