Ms. O'Donnel: Where in the Constitution does it say anything about guns? Please show me where the word "gun" appears in the Constitution.

Hooray for literalism. The problem with O'Donnell is she's carefully treading a line, probably by accident, where I can't be certain if she's being amazingly clever and nuanced, or just has no earthly idea what the Constitution says. She's either a subtle genius or blatantly dumb.

Except if you know what he Ted Stevens was talking you realized he actually had only a slight idea of what was going on and was just throwing out talking points.

O'Donnell is a subtle genius in the same way Palin is a subtle genius.

She certainly seems to be trolling reddit quite effectively. Glenn Beck is obviously behind it.

Can't be Glenn Beck, O'Donnell hasn't called anyone a Nazi.

Makes perfect sense. I feel like this is the kind of thing Rusch Limbaugh masturbates to.

And then phones Christine O'Donnell to tell her that he did.

If Busch is a beer, then Rusch must be also.

Well, it says "arms". People used to fire arms at each other.

True story.

Well, obviously it is referring to limbs, not guns.

yes, the limbs of bears...most likely brown bears as they are indigenous to the region comprising god's original 13 colonies and, thus, most likely to fulfill our founding fathers' mental image of what a "bear" truly is...so don't start firing no panda arms or you'll risk offending strict constitutionalists like myself and the NBA (National Bear Association...not that silly ball-game group).

Brown bears are indigenous to Alaska. Black bears and grizzlies are in the lower 48.

How dare you insult the racial purity of those bears. More so, not all black bears are "grizzly". Many hold respectable jobs and are just trying to raise a family in this crazy modern world of ours. The fact that you would make such slanderous statements on the internet of all places, where bears cannot even defend themselves (on account of the discriminatory design-practices of modern keyboard manufacturers) shows you to be a coward and a scoundrel.

Good Day to you.

Doesn't say a thing about legs though. Guess we can chop those off.

I'm pretty sure the right to bare arms is about short sleeved shirts. I hate it how people go around injecting their own belief system into the constitution.

Short-sleeved militias were a dangerous weapon once upon a time.
