Where’s the ‘well regulated militia’ that’s been crying about a tyrannical government for their entire lives now that the tyrannical government is actually here surveilling us, consolidating our private data and sending our own military into the streets to tread the fuck all over us???

Tuesday. 6PM. Rollins.
