Michigan’s daily, liberal paper, The Michigan Daily, published a column yesterday containing one writer’s argument for why liberals should appreciate guns. Sounds refreshing, right? Well, maybe except for this excerpt:
Consider our presidential election in 2000. Blatantly ignoring the will of Florida voters, the U.S. Supreme Court handed victory to Bush on a technicality. Liberals agreed that there was nothing more to do in appeal, but according to Locke, if a government is guilty of systematic abuse of its power, then citizens have a right install legitimate rule. Instead, liberals stood by willingly after the ruling, acting as if they had just lost a close football game.
Because remember, folks: guns are for the violent overthrow of government when you don’t like the results of democratic elections.
