19. Only if you're with the Tea Party.

Then you can open-carry assault rifles.

Remember, IOKIYAR.

If you're a teabagger, you can go to a Democratic town-hall, you can heckle to your heart's content, shout down a member of Congress, with words bordering on threats of violence, and the police will stand there, smile and wax poetic about the First Amendment.

Go to a Republican event as an Occupier and try the same thing, and twenty cops taser you, pepper-spray you, beat the shit out of you as the teabaggers cheer and chant "USA! USA! USA!", and then they give you a year-long jail sentence for "resisting arrest."

Remember, the vast majority of cops are Republicans. They became police officers because they're authoritarians. They think it's funny to beat the shit out of people, and they think the law is something they can use as a weapon against people they don't like. They don't think the law applies to them.
