When it comes to gun control, this is what we're up against, folks.
This letter appeared in my local paper today:
I loved the idea of folks having to get a license to keep a concealed maniac. The news has reported that the Newtown, Conn., shooter’s mother had already begun paperwork to have him committed. When housing a maniac, usually, getting to the point of actually seeking professional help only occurs after a visit or two from the local police department. That drives home the point that the problem is just too big to handle at home. I have not heard it reported whether police had been called to that home in the past or not. To those thinking more gun laws is the solution, that’s something to think on.
I hear a lot of folks saying that firearms enthusiasts don’t need automatic weapons or even semi-automatic weapons or high capacity magazines. If guns were only for hunting or target plinking, that would be true. However, our forefathers, when drafting our Constitution, guaranteed us the right to keep and bear arms. They did not qualify that with, “for hunting or target plinking.” The main reason they wanted the citizens armed, was so we’d have the means to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government. Remember, they had only very recently had to do so. In order to protect ourselves, we need access to the level of weaponry we’re having to defend ourselves from. By that reasoning, law-abiding American citizens have a right to own anything in the government arsenal. With what’s transpired in Washington, D.C., over the last 50 years, it’s becoming more obvious everyday that we are once again living under a tyrannical government.
Buy guns! Teach your kids to use them! They will need to know! For those harboring unlicensed maniacs, please disregard the last three sentences.

I can hardly wait until the loonies around here start lobbying for rocket launchers and nukes to defend themselves from our tyranical government.

Probably a spell checker.
Imagine the Governments surprise when all us patriots get one. No more tyranny!
It's the only way to protect our precious freedoms, blah, blah, blah.
Let the gum'mint varmints peel THAT from my cold, dead hands. 
but getting the missile might get the attention of the men in black suits and shades. 
I mean, they are tyrannical. 
I meant these men in black.
