“How about you turn
in your guns,” President Obama said, pointing a threatening finger. Well there it was; right there on the
internet, right there on Facebook. I
could see it in my mind as if it were really happening. The President of the United States is knocking
on my door, flanked by two U.S Marshalls and trailed by those suited guys who sport
shades and earpieces. And then he says, “How about you turn in your
guns. Boys", he says to the marshals, “do
your duty.” And so they push me aside and
march into my home like SS storm troopers and ransack the place until they find
the two black powder Civil War replicas that I’ve used in reenactments. And then The President of the United States
and his minions go on to pillage the next house, leaving me to sweep up the shattered bric
–a- brac and right the overturned
furniture. Sure as hell it’s going to
happen. It has to because I saw it on
Facebook, on the internet and in a meme.
Because if it’s in a meme it must be true.
