   The ATF has a regional office in Kansas City, Missouri. What are they going to do, follow the special agents when they leave to inspect gun shows and try and throw them in jail? Logically, it would seem the ATF would have to move its office to Iowa, maybe, because Kansas seceded too. This is so absurd it’s almost beyond description, the fact that the legislature, including cowardly Democrats, would pass a law that is unconstitutional to allegedly defend the part of the same constitution they think needs defending at the level of their state. Rational people would desire to punch them in the mouth and ask “what’s wrong with you people?” But that would be rhetorical because we know what’s wrong with them. They’re angry white men driven into apoplectic rage by the existence of a black president and they have deluded themselves into thinking some undefined majority in the country is behind them.

   I’m not so sure whether they think an “undefined majority” is behind them, though they easily could if they stay in the wingnut bubble or the teabagger teapot, or whether they sense that they must take a last desperate stand.

    

   For bigotry, of course, there is ultimately no last stand, just a series of metamorphoses.  But there is still a whiff of insane fanaticism in the over-the-topness of current teabaggery.
