Don’t tread on me . . . Ducks!

One of the gallants who put the now infamous beat-down on that askin-fer-it professional agitator from moveon.org has been outed by other members of the Tea Party, apparently appalled by his liberal use of force in freely expressing his concern for Rand Paul’s personal safety. The blogosphere is pointing to this cozy shot of the young man in question in a less heated confrontation with a duck. Looks like . . . fun for the whole family? Turns out in addition to supporting Rand, this newly hatched YouTube celebrity is a supporter of Kentucky’s Open Carry movement (or is really, really afraid of ducks). I dislike photos like these since they make satire redundant, but if I understand the constitutional arguments presented by the irresistible video/photo combo: if I don’t agree with you, it’s okay for me to wrestle you to the ground and manhandle you, and the 2nd amendment gives folks the unrestricted right to carry military grade weaponry around at any and all times in church, restaurants, etc., because, you know, responsible gun owners don’t need to be “well regulated” in the appropriate use of force.
