fat hillybilly redneck headin out to shoot a dear with 2 pistols and a shotgun
My civil rights is bein' violated, right there. Hell, I can even spell deer, but y'all still think all rednecks is stupid. That ain't right.
Seriously, US citizens have the constitutional right to bear arms. The founding fathers wrote that into the constitution along with all of the checks and balances with intent, which is why that right has been upheld at every turn. If your happy in your country without this right, power to you, live long and prosper. But there are many subcultures in the US that regard this as a symbolic right to freedom, evidence that citizens are independent entities and that the goverment serves the citizen, not the other way around. If you remember that the US population is largely made up of refugees from oppression and slavery, abroad and at home , it will make a lot more sense that there is a strong attachment to self defense.
That said it is not a good idea for some people to be motoring around with three loaded concealed weapons. Particularly people fighting depression and bipolar disorder ought not do that. None the less, I think Delonte's carrying the guns on the road is not a big crime (and I think the charge is a misdemeanor), I think what concerns the Cavs is the behavior. If Delonte is bringing his arsenal to the Q, and he goes off his meds and has a blow up, like last years camp, there goes the franchise. Cavs are not gonna run that risk. He F'd up a good thing, and i don't see how he will talk his way out of this one.
