GUN RIGHTS AND THE LANGUAGE OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT

(Your mischievous cephalopod is sneaking in this post before our good Captain returns – shhshh, don’t tell him, please!)

"A well regulated indicia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Please forgive. An octopus has little need for law because it is hard for us to read, interpret, and understand the “shall nots” of living in a human society. We live as solitary creatures with little social skill. Yet, the language of the Second Amendment seems clear to me. If you intend to keep and bear arms (and I have at least 8 of these), you need to bring your well regulated indicia with you.

Perhaps well regulated indicia imprinted on tee-shirts will suffice (TAO, we should discuss licensing rights). Ones that read:

This armed robbery brought to you by Walmart.

This Post Office massacre is sponsored by UPS.

This gang killing is backed by Smith & Wesson.

… or …

This political assassination is a
public service message of Koch Industries.

Makes perfect sense, doesn’t it! After all, these indicia are timestamps that let you know when you have expired.

Many thanks to Sheria who inspired this post. Any more t-shirt ideas?
