Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader was chatting today with some associates around town about guns. The focus of the conversation was about the recent federal court decision overturning the District of Columbia’s gun ban. Most of the people in the conversation didn’t think that theis case would contribute to DC becoming a safer place any time soon.

There was one member of the conversation who was shocked at the decision. She also believes that the Second Amendment should be amended out of existance and guns should be confiscated. In the middle of her diatribe your Maximum Leader turned to her and mentioned that Chairman Mao was quoted as saying that “Power comes from the barrel of a gun.” She agreed that it did. Your Maximum Leader suggested then that the court decision should allow the people of DC to “empower” themselves a little against criminals.

The group thought that would be a nifty little saying: Power comes from the barrel of a gun. Buy a gun. Empower yourself.

Anyhoo…

Did your Maximum Leader mention that he has been itching to buy a shotgun?

He has been. He really needs to start a little slush fund or something to save up for a nice one…

Carry on.
