Ah ha! I see what you're getting at. You'll have to forgive me. I hadn't

Oh, I hadn't realize that either. So I guess it's incumbent upon us all to own
shoulder-fired anti-aircraft rocket launchers to discourage tyrannical
dictatorship. Talk about your tyrannical dictatorship -- how about all those
vaccinations the government requires of usl? And how about those food
processors having to submit to Federal food handling laws -- is there no end to
government interference in our desire to just be ourselves? Hey, Government, I
have a Constitutional right to own nuclear weapons, so go fuck yourself.
Nuclear weapons are just tools, after all.
