We Come in Peace. Shoot to Kill, Men!
When guns are outlawed, only bodyguards for business and the wealthy will have guns. Although the waters in New Orleans have left behind a santorum of deadly chemicals and viruses, it seems to have washed the area clean of its rights as well. From the New York Times, which if anything is probably halfway in favor of this kind of thing, if you got the grey lady drunk enough to let her guard down.
Meanwhile, the city is confiscating firearms from civilians, including legally registered weapons, Mr. Compass said. "Only law enforcement are allowed to have weapons," he said.But that order apparently does not apply to the hundreds of security guards whom hotels and some wealthy individuals have hired to protect their property. The guards, who work for private security firms like Blackwater, are openly carrying M-16's and other assault rifles.

I read this article, too. At first it suggests that no one is allowed to *carry* when they're evacuated, but this quote suggests outright seizure of weapons. I hope those people get receipts.
Didja wonder also why Berenson and Williams had to point out- at least thrice- that agents of the state had
*JARRING CHORD*
"assault rifles"!
Y'know, it's funny. I should
Y'know, it's funny. I should look up those writers and see what else they've done. Maybe it's the Times editors getting their licks in, but maybe it's the writers using the Times' own construction and blind spots to slip in a piquant critique of same.
This week I'm going to bake some assault bread, and by next weekend my first batch of assault beer should be fully bottle-conditioned (assault bottles) and ready to drink. Tonight I'm going to go home to my assault house and kiss on my assault wife some (assault kisses- they're fully automatic!) and then eat some assault chili. Tomorrow morning, I will assault the terlet.
This is fun!
You have assaulted just about
You have assaulted just about all of my sensibilities. I'm going to go consult (i.e. assault) my assault lawyer.

Well, I don't know how much to read into it. It just struck me as peculiar.
If I was gonna be all tinfoil-hatted about it, I might raise the possibility that these two were insinuating that
*JARRING CHORD* assault rifles
rightfully belong only in the hands of LE and the military. Of course, if these two know what an
*JARRING CHORD* assault rifle
actually is, I'll eat my size 11 Doc Martens. Shit, I'll eat Buckethead's size 15 Doc Martens.
But more importantly than all that, "full-auto kisses" is a lyric crying for a riff.
Those are size 14 assault Doc
Those are size 14 assault Doc Martins, thank you very much.
