Heston Finally Dead

...and with him, perhaps, also the "gimme mah gun!" movement.

Contrary to what Gay Josh Gibson thinks, the Second Amendment, no matter how you don't parse it, is not clear. And what's more, the easiest way to understand an historical document is always to read it as though you lived at the time it was written; in which case, the Second Amendment pretty obviously is not an endorsement of private gun ownership for reasons of personal freedom, but rather for the reason that the people, plural and together, make up the best defense of the Republic. It's theirs, after all. This theme, which many historians have tried to show was specious, permeates the entire Constitution. So, you might be able at this moment to own a gun "because you feel like it," but that has everything to do with capitalism and nothing to do with constitutionalism.

But back to Chuck..uh...ton and his untimely (in the sense that it came way too late) death. Fuck him. He was a bad actor. "Gimme mah shovel" and I'll throw dirt on him.

That's it.
