No matter how hot it was, shorts and sleeveless shirts were considered immodest dress for little girls. Apparently men are whipped into an unconquerable frenzy of sexual desire by the sight of a 6 year old's bare arms.

Yeah, I thought it was weird, too. And they wonder why I left.

The right to say really stupid things. Absolutely essential to the American way of life.

the term "bear arms" is "an idiomatic expression that means 'to serve as a soldier, do military service'".

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.
