This just happened, 20 minutes ago. At 13th and Pennsylvania (2 blocks from White House)

Young lady (yl): Hello, can I talk to you about the ACLU?

Me: ACLU? They supporting the constitution yet?

YL: everyday. We support the constiution.

Me: Not the second Amendment you don’t.

Yl: well, that’s a state by state issue

Me: isn’t the constitution the supreme law of the land? Are you telling me my right to free speach is different in one state than another?

Yl: no. Just the 2nd amendment. Our policy varies state by state

Me: (staring dumbfounded) it does? I thought you supported the constitution

Yl: (realizing where this is going) well, no ones perfect. But what about the rest of the constitution?

Me: I support the whole thing. And my guns keep you from infringing on my speach
