I think that the framers made a mistake in the translation of the 2nd Amendment
It was originally supposed to be "Right to Arm Bears"

2. Translation from the drafts.

That is, the drafts they were drinking when they were supposed to be writing laws.

3. Which would be more dangerous: a grizzly bear with a rifle
or a shark with a laser beam on it's head?

5. How about the Right to Bare Arms?
Of course that were the case, we'd be mired in debate about whether they meant having shaved arms or wearing wife beater shirts.

6. Or it could be "right to arms bare."
But, alas, that is not what they left for us.

I have no pictures for you, though. But thanks for reminding me, I do need to turn images off again, had to turn them on to read an astronomy page yesterday....

And since I have to get back to my project (can't stay on DU and start a new thread), I presume you'll also be critical of the First Amendment, or make jokes about it? Here's one danger of photos:
'"It’s potentially a form of human engineering that could be applied to us against our knowledge and against our wishes, and we ought to be vigilant about it," said UC Irvine psychologist Elizabeth Loftus, who designed the study.'
