Lock and Load

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) replaces naked call for violent revolution with metaphorical violence: “I want [my constituents] to be armed with knowledge, so they can be dangerous to the policies of the left.”

Late Update: Speaking of which, David Weigel attended the annual Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot near Louisville, Ky., over the weekend — and took pictures.

Later Update: Oh, my. Just in case you thought Bachmann was toning things down, she’s now comparing Ted’s Kennedy’s “Serve America Act,” a community service program for young people, with “re-education camps“:

And the real concerns is that there are provisions for what I would call re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward and then they have to go to work in some of these politically correct forums.”
