The Bill of Rights is the United States. The United States is the Bill of Rights.
Compromise the Bill of Rights and you dissolve the very foundation upon which the Union stands. – A.E. Samaan

Hernando County is a ‘Second Amendment sanctuary,’ commissioners declare
Words by Barbara Behrendt Music by DJ OGWildDog Published Dec. 18
Hernando County is the latest
to declare itself a Second Amendment sanctuary
whatever the fuck that is
and did so at the urging of county Commissioner Steve Champion,
owner of American Gun and Pawn shop in Brooksville.
Who the hell could see that comin’?
Commissioners unanimously approved
we all be crazy
the resolution on Tuesday.
Champion acknowledged it had “no teeth,”
like his oath of office,
and was mostly “ceremonial.”
Like his understanding of public service.
Sorry, was that hurtful?
Hernando joins other communities in Florida
we all be crazy
and around the nation
we really really all be crazy
that want to highlight their support
for the right to bear arms,
the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
“Of course,” Champion said, “all of the Bill of Rights are important.”
Of course, said Stevie.
But yours are much easier to enforce
when you are the one holding the gun
shop and the commissioner’s chair.
Commissioners quibbled over the resolution’s wording.
If you don’t actually have
personal quibbling experience,
you will find these, I laugh,
public servants on YouTube,
The Quibble Channel.
Commissioner John Mitten voiced concern
about the term “sanctuary,”
as it has referred to communities
that didn’t enforce certain rules
regarding undocumented residents.
Champion wanted to mimic
the wording used by other communities.
Better he should mime than mimic.
Two weeks ago, Citrus County adopted the same designation.
Three weeks ago, that county Commission refused
to pay the county library’s subscription
to the failing New York Times.
Champion has taken heat –
in a figurative sense – for efforts
to demonstrate his support
for gun ownership,
which some see as promoting his business.
Some saw it.
Some criticized his recent suggestion
to seek federal funding for
a long-distance gun range
on public lands in the county.
Some spoke up about the facts.
The idea has not gone further
than the investigation stage.
Oh, yeah, please, investigate that.
I did it,
you saw me do it,
now exonerate me.
otherwise,
we all be crazy.
