The story in the Quad-City Times about firing a mortar to start the Quad-City Times Bix 7 road race makes my heart hanker with envy. This year, the 7-mile race will start with a blast fired from a self-propelled howitzer cannon mounted on the rear of a Humvee. Wow, how can I get one?
My gun advocate friends claim that the Second Amendment, which guarantees the right to bear arms, is unconditional. It’s already become perfectly all right to hunt game with an assault rifle so the next logical step is to utilize the howitzer. |

My how clever.
For this idiot's information, it isn't legal to hunt anywhere in the United States with a full-auto firearm. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
