Let me guess: This is the leftist, homosexual, hippy-dippy, Palin-bashing, ganga promoting free fishwrap for Portland? Am I close? The 2nd Amendment was put in the Bill of Rights to insure that a tyrant, such as the birth certificate-less usurper currently in the White House, could not run free without some push-back from an armed citizenry.
