The irony being.. this kind of BS makes me actually consider being 
armed, just to protect myself from all the nut cases, and most of them 
are definitely ***nut cases***, who already are. Sadly, the only thing 
likely to change this trend towards shear stupidity is a good old 
western shootout some place. Betting it will be between a teabagger and 
someone they conclude is "liberal" because they wore the wrong shirt to 
an anti-liberal rally. Ironically, the wacko politicians are at least 
partly right. More people are getting armed because they are fearful and 
don't think the cops can help them. What they fail to grasp is that they 
realize that a) there are seldom enough cops, and even less now in a 
recession, b) many places the cops are in the pocket of local politics, 
and some of those **hate** certain neighborhoods, c) crime rates, for 
the most part, where dropping before now, especially violent crime, but 
that might have reversed, and not because 4 people some place stopped 
praying to the right wings dog, d) under the current conditions, 
promoting "more" guns is a recipe for disaster, not a solution to making 
things safer, in the absence of cops that the government can't/won't pay 
for, or which have been corrupted by politics to not help certain parts 
of the cities.

All in all, I am much more worried, today, that one of these idiots, who 
watched a few too many episodes of Walker Texas Ranger, will shoot 
someone for looking too not-right wing enough, than that an army of 
liberals will try to storm the capitol building. Why? Because if the 
later happens, it will be **because** the WTR sort will have shot a 
bunch of people, then holed up in the capitol building, with hostages, 
and the right wing spin engine will be busy calling them "freedom 
fighters" for it, instead of insane, or terrorist, thereby helping to 
cement the civil war these idiots seem to want so badly.

Frankly, I wish they would just save us the idiocy and bloodshed, move 
to Texas, secede, and the rest of us where smart enough to let them turn 
themselves into a third world country, instead of bothering to stop them.
