And yeah, all those secessionist militia losers with their camo outfits and Bushman assault rifles really did a great job of preventing the PATRIOT ACT, and the elimination of habeas corpus, and the wiretap surveillance without warrants, and the extraordinary rendition, and the water boarding, and the seizure of property through Eminent Domain, and.....oh wait... no I guess they didn't. Apparently the only thing they felt the need to fight for was the right to make it easy for criminals and nutcases to get guns.
