The 2nd Amendment and Zombies

First of all, I'd like to thank Dom for the nice introduction. She got me down pretty much to a tee, as sad as that is. Anyways, I'm very excited that she's back.

Now, on to an issue that is very dear to me; our 2nd Amendment rights as Americans. As an important precursor, let's take a look at this guy, Dean Allen (R-SC) who is now running for Adjutant General in South Carolina, the only state that holds such an election. If you're wondering what this title is, the all-knowing Wikipedia tells me that he's effectively "The senior military officer and de facto commander of a state's military forces." Little wonder then that this candidate is holding some of his fundraisers at shooting ranges, where people pay $25 for a BBQ lunch, shoot their guns at targets and buy raffle tickets for the chance to win an AK-47, semi-automatic of course.

Many people cringe at the idea of such clear-cut moves away from gun control in any way, shape, or form; I mean these are machine-guns we're talking about here. My support for events like this, however, can be explained in one simple, important word: zombies.

"The most important right the people have is the right to keep and bear arms" Mr. Allen said in his interview with MSNBC. Well said, sir. When zombies come banging at your front door, moaning about brains or shrieking their blood-curdling screams -- are we talking classical Romero, Night of the Living Dead zombie outbreak, or new-school, 28 Days Later style pandemic? -- you can be damn sure that the rest of your "less-important" rights as Americans won't count for squat. The only thing that these undead, flesh-eating abominations will answer to is the hot-lead justice of the 2nd Amendment. So, go ahead Mr. Allen, give civilians live ammo and AK-47s, and please, for the love of god, teach them how to shoot. When the zombie horde comes a knocking, I'm going to South Carolina.
