Scary Manifesto that keeps getting pushed down on the sidebar by filthy capitalism!
They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means “The Ultimate Argument of Kings,” and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. “We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it’s about: You’ll do as I say or I’ll send my goons to kill you.”
I thought about that for a long time. If there’s an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I’ve got bullets – he’s got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that’s not going to happen. So if there’s an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain’t bullets.
It finally came to me – and that’s when I abandoned the city and most of my stuff, and gave all that was behind me a good stiff Randian Shrug.
The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

Well damn! I only have 4 of the 5. Guess I’ll have to get a derringer, even tho I think they’re silly little things.
You left out Fire water.
coloradohermit, which four of the three (Handgun, Rifle, Shotgun) do you have? The Short Barreled Rifle they think is a handgun, the grenade launcher they think is a revolver, or the NFA machinegun assault rifle?
#6 Miller Lite…………
Bear, you constantly tickle my funnybone! Nope, I got nothing tricky, just a modest assortment of standard “scary black guns”. And even then, the scariest thing about them is probably seeing them in the hands of a 63 year old woman.
But we do have radioactive water, so may I add that to the list?
coloradohermit, -shhh- You’re just begging for a Homeland Security raid for stockpiling dirty bomb components.
OTOH, we could have fun by notifying the EPA and HSA that pretty much all groundwater is mildly radioactive (these being the folks that think trace levels of carbon dioxide are a deadly toxin).
Hmm… the granite here is radioactive. That might be a good way to get the rocks cleared for a bigger garden.
Pikers.
They left out Ring of Fire guns.
But the comments were great. Gun owners do know how to turn a sarcastic comment. 😉
