Which brings us to my rock-solid belief that unless the human race has a serious leap in evolution, democracy will never be a long-term possibility. Humans run a scale from givers to takers, and the attributes that accompany those poles make it inevitable that the takers will always come out on top. And the last thing a taker wants is a democracy.[Stand-in emcee of the Daily Show, John Oliver] noted that [Lindsey Graham (R-SC) believes] it [is] acceptable for the government to track every phone call, but an intolerable intrusion for gun owners to register their firearms.
“Guns are one thing, but phone calls are too dangerous to go unchecked,” he explained. “Think about it. Really think about it. Some maniac could be calling about going on a shooting spree.”
[...]
“The Second Amendment has won the Bill of Rights,” Oliver proclaimed. “It has defeated all the other amendments, which of course it did when you think about it — it’s the only amendment with a fucking gun.”
Raw Story
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
