Proper response to an ant-gun screed
Tam: You’re on the wrong side of history on this one, Dan; go sit on the ash heap.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Tam, your metaphor sucks. That would be “sit on the slag-heap” or “sit in the dust-bin of history”.
You need an historical wordsmith to add to your crew, ma’am.

Rivrdog,
Might I direct your attention to 3:55 in this video?
I know who I was quoting.

“The disarmament process would begin after the initial three-month amnesty. Special squads of police would be formed and trained to carry out the work. Then, on a random basis to permit no advance warning, city blocks and stretches of suburban and rural areas would be cordoned off and searches carried out in every business, dwelling, and empty building. All firearms would be seized. The owners of weapons found in the searches would be prosecuted: $1,000 and one year in prison for each firearm.
Clearly, since such sweeps could not take place all across the country at the same time. But fairly quickly there would begin to be gun-swept, gun-free areas where there should be no firearms. If there were, those carrying them would be subject to quick confiscation and prosecution. On the streets it would be a question of stop-and-search of anyone, even grandma with her walker, with the same penalties for ‘carrying.’” – Dan Simpson, The Toledo Blade, Wednesday, April 25, 2007
I would hazard a guess that the 2nd isn’t the only amendment in the BoR that this fellow doesn’t care for…

Maybe you’re making an ash heap out of an ant hill.
(Typo presented opportunity for horrible joke.)

Is that a screed decrying arming ants, or calling for it?
I’m not sure I’m comfortable with hives of insects bearing arms, myself.

Why don’t I think old Dan Simpson will be the first through my door when if his dream comes true?

Does that guy have a day job as strategic planner for the TSA? It would explain a lot.

An ash heap of history conflates two things Mr. Simpson needs to experience: being tossed out backside first onto history’s junk pile, and the ashes worn with sack cloth while doing one’s penance for one’s sins.
Ash heap of history: not only is he irrelevant, he should be sorry for his stupidity.

Keep a stiff upper lip while warding off the slings and arrows, Tam.
