All they have to do is, instead of calling it a "law", call it "militia regulation" instead. "Militia" is the entire arms bearing populace; if you own a gun, you are, by definition, part of the Militia. And the 2nd amendment doesn't merely say "everyone has a gun"; it does so in context of maintaining a "well regulated militia". All the right to "keep and bear arms" does is prevent them from requiring we store our arms in a central armory (which was one of the controversies over the matter in England when the right was in development).

I would say we also have a right to own a car. That doesn't prevent them from requiring we maintain the capacity to bear responsibility if we should accidentally exercise that right improperly.

Something tells me this isn't exactly religious.

Because I played Dragon Quest and Zelda, I developed an unfortunate predilection for walking into strangers houses and smashing pots and vases and stuff. Took years of therapy to break that habit. :(

I still can't even look at a barrel.

I'm pretty sure my brother reached numbers like this for Ghostbusters (TV edit) when he was a little kid.

Very midwest. Sounds like my grandmother's jello with celery in it.

More accurate than you might think.

Donald Trump and his followers look more like Doctor Who villains by the day. I half expect them to unveil a new military unit that is vaguely salt shaker shaped.

Discomfort stimulates growth, but the actual growth happens during periods of recovery. That is true of the body, and I have little doubt it is true of the mind, as well. I'm not saying people should never step out of their comfort zone. But just like we shouldn't be judging people at the gym because, from our perspective, they should be able to do more, we should be extending compassion to those of us who have difficulties in the mind, particularly considering we can only know our own perspective, not theirs. I mean, you wouldn't expect a guy in a wheel chair to be doing leg presses, would you?

"I did not have sex with that woman."

"Well, technically, college kids don't consider a blowjob to count as 'sex'."

What makes you think that's likely?

Or wait, are you just Onioning?

Or will you decide which it is later?
