Easy Loading

Responding to Sarah Palin's cry of "Don't retreat, reload!", Eagle Arms of Breinigsville offered just what real Americans need in a newspaper ad last Saturday. For a mere $89.95, patriots can purchase a "Romanian AK-47 Round Drum with a capacity of seventy-five 7.62 mm bullets in the Chinese style with a hinged back for easy loading."

Apparently, "Buy American" doesn't apply to assault weapon accessories. When those liberal elitists come marching down our streets "jamming health care down our throats" or taking the census, we have got to be prepared to greet them with a shower of hot lead even if it comes from a Romanian drum based on a Chinese design. The Second Amendment doesn't say "the right to bear American-made arms". We can be flexible here.

More important, seventy-five rounds just may not be sufficient to beat back those socialists. We should purchase a second drum so we can keep firing while little Josh or Tiffany re-loads the first. It does have that hinged back for easy loading after all.

And why shouldn't a weapon be easy to load, in fact, so easy "that a child could do it"? We already have car insurance "so easy a caveman could do it".
