Think about it -- Someone owns 5 or 6 rifles but he's only able to carry 2 rifles. Sorry, guy, you have to give up the rest of them.PurpleGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16348832238854356317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-29086327846805124162013-01-16T09:42:38.026-05:002013-01-16T09:42:38.026-05:00It's always been the Republics that have been ...It's always been the Republics that have been the uppity bastards - uppity white trash, if you wish - in their Sears & Roebuck suits singin' loudest in the pews.Ten Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594307610015584119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-53019798224743197422013-01-16T09:25:42.145-05:002013-01-16T09:25:42.145-05:00Please, oh please, secede, so the rest of us can s...Please, oh please, secede, so the rest of us can succeed.<br /><br />Just think - you can have your own version of Somalia!<br /><br />You can call it, JesusLovesMeYesHeDoesFascistCorporateDumbfuckinstan.<br />And your Constitution would only need to have one right - to bear all of the arms your arms can bear.<br /><br />We'll work out the exchange of rational Southerners for our Northern Cracker-wannabe's later.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.com
