32. Not serious and not going anywhere with it-- just constantly amused at...
the occasional high comedy of the gun crowd.

The US, by the way, is one of the few, and perhaps only, country that recognizes personal gun ownership as a "right". The Universal Declaration of Human Rights doesn't mention it, nor do the constitutions of most, possibly all, countries signatory to it, or any treaties based on it. This leads to the conclusion that it's a "right" not from natural law, but invented for some specific purpose. The Supreme Court has so far decided what that purpose is, but they have been known to be wrong about things in the very recent past.

(And don't bring up the tired old reference to "security of person". That means secure from actions of the state.)
