Ranked Amendments

I like this guy Rob Meeker of Leavittsburg, Michigan. He willingly puts himself into a situation where he expects violence from people gathered to express the First Amendment of our Constitution. Gatherings such as the recent Donald Trump rally in Chicago, as reported by the Economist (March 19, 2016; page 26), that was cancelled after a clash between Presidential Republican candidate Donald Trump and a large group of anti-Trump supporters.

When asked in the Economist about “how [he] felt about the violence at Mr Trump’s rallies, [Rob Meeker] assumed the question related to Democratic protesters." 


“I have my concealed carry weapon, so I’m not worried” 

I lied, I don’t really like this guy Rob Meeker of Leavittsburg, Michigan. Not only does he advertise without discretion his use of a contentious extension of the Second Amendment; but, he is completely missing the point of the intention the Founding Fathers had in providing a well-armed militia for the off-chance that an American government would send troops against the populace.
