Before the advent of Trump the Candidate I would laughingly dismiss any suggestion the 2nd Amendment would ever be in play in my lifetime as a bulwark against governmental oppression. By governmental oppression I do not mean the EPA, taxes or OSHA.

What I mean by oppression is the threat of deportation for being Muslim. An Iranian friend was interred after 9/11 because the government had been remiss in handling his naturalization paperwork and process. They fucked up and he went to INS jail. For days. that is the second most powerful memory I have from the aftermath of 9/11. My government interred a good man because they screwed up.

Elect Hilary so I can keep laughing at the prospect. Because if we elect Trump and he tries what he says, it’s not laughter that will resound.
