The Second Amendment

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.

Old!  Dated!  Boring!  We are living in 2009 and this just is not holding up too well.  Since there are some people who can see that this clearly says that we may not own any firearms, why not clarify this and spice it up a little while we’re at it.

• The armed forces of the United States of America may keep, store, and use firearms of any type provided they are only and permanently located at officially declared training ranges.  Such ranges shall be approved of by Congress and by no means may be located within nine hundred and fifty nautical miles of any population center.
• The armed forces of the United States of America may utilize firearms during times of war, national emergency, or strife with the understanding that said arms must be of a caliber of .22 or less, and not capable of firing more than two rounds within thirty seconds.
• The citizenry of the United States of America may keep, store, and use firearms of any type or fashion provided that #1 The propellant is limited to an elastic band, not more than 5 millimeters in diameter and with an un-stressed length of not more than 10 centimeters, and #2 The projectile may only be a 3 gram paper clip or less.
• Congress may, at it’s discretion, make any law or regulation modifying any of the above if deemed necessary.
• All toy firearms and any depictions of actual, or reproductions of firearms shall henceforth be banned.  

Obviously this is a more common sense approach to our gun problems.  What you need to do now to take action is to copy the new and improved Second Amendment and forward it to your representatives and request the process be started to amend the amendment.

Or more accurately one of a group of dimwits calling themselves Wargod Inc.  These simpletons fashioned themselves a fugitive recovery agency who first came on police radar when they were seen walking the streets of Stroudsburg Pennsylvania recently.  They were wearing black military fatigues, empty holsters, and badges, and flashing cans of mace and handcuffs.  Appropriately this resulted in a few calls to police.

Then came the 911 call from the home for the elderly.  The manager there reported that these four  jokers were running up and down the halls and trying to enter one of the apartments.

Coincidentally, at the same time as this was going on, the Pennsylvania State Police were investigating neighbor’s complaints at the Wargod’s home base, a local home occupied by Kelly Hefferon and her two sons.  Apparently the neighbors had problems with the gunfire in the back yard, sirens ringing out at all hours, and the clown posse practicing marching in formation up and down the street.  Silly neighbors.

While the police were investigating the home, the crew returned from their night on the town.  Pulling up with a red light on the dash and a pistol grip shotgun and shells in full view in the car probably wasn’t too good of an idea.

According to police, Lawrence Colon, 39, explained that he was co-owner, with Hefferon, of Wargod. He also told police that he was licensed with the state, was training his agents, and that he was looking for a fugitive to collect the reward.

The police investigation revealed that his “license” was only a tax ID registration, and that they had no affiliation with the courts or a bail bondsman, as required by law.  Two of them were convicted felons which prohibits them from possessing firearms.

As if all of this wasn’t enough fun for these guys, The State Police had to come back to the house two days later to resolve a property dispute.  The police came upon felon Lawrence Colon (the photogenic beauty in the pic) carrying a 9 mm pistol.  Two more days after that the police had completed their investigation and returned to arrest the Wargods.

As of now, four have plead guilty and one is waiting for his trial.
