Lightbulb: I understand your point but it doesn't make any sense to me. I comprenende... but it muy loco.

Gun nuts: Justification silliness aside, maybe they're just talking for the other side of the spectrum that Derwood and other anti-gun know-it-alls are coming from... the side where they have "a RIGHT" (TM) to X but it is getting pissed on by "the MAN" (TM) like a back alley in New Orleans during Mardi Gras.

/goes back to being a middle-of-the-road know-it-all
