"Why do you intelligent Merkins let the brain-dead rule the roost?"

Simple answer. Because they've got guns, and they're scary. So, we don't mess with them. We've had a Democratic majority in the California State Legislature for years, and they've passed all sorts of gun control legislation. But my neighbors all still have guns. And every time there's a mass shooting, they rush out and buy more guns.
