I have always thought that the joke about the Irishman who encountered a fight was both funny and telling. He asked the two participants if their imbroglio was a family affair--or could anybody join in. History shows that the Irish enjoyed fighting either for fun and excitement or no holds barred sans trepidation.

Then there is Mahatma Gandhi of whom it is said that he only peacefully battled the British because guns were not available.

While I allow that is better to strategize and win a battle without all of the deplorable killing, it also makes sense to still have the wherewithal to annihilate the enemy if necessary. As for all of the guns our country seems awash in, by far the majority are in the hands of law abiding citizens. Of course the problem arises from our capitalist culture that is in its last throws as a hegemonic baron. Greed is our god and millions of people are being sacrificed on the alter of expediency. We are witnessing the toothless becoming ruthless and will need our guns and ammunition if for no other reason than protection.

You all be sure to vote...whether it's Bloodbath Biden or Dictator Donald, it won't make any difference. A pile of shit is a pile of shit, however, the Republicans still believe in the 2nd Amendment.
