Not in the back though, unless you want a holy cloak.
sorry…!
Let’s face it, if you’ve got a cloak that’s nice enough you can trade it for a sword, you ain’t gonna be one of those guys at the barricades.
If the cloak has a big red S on the back, is it worth more?
I think the fantasy of the moment is that the military is full of Oath Keepers who will let Broden and his cohorts waltz their Second Amendment solutions right into the Capitol.
I’m not especially worried, stupid people have been talking like this forever (especially in Texas, which has a small group of noisome lunatics who think that secession is always just a ballot measure away). I do see a small number of the angry and disappointed getting themselves in some serious shit in November, though.
To be fair, nothing in the verse says that’s one transaction with one person. I’m reading it as a shortened version of “Sell your cloak at Moishe’s Used Cloak Outlet, take the money, walk next door to Khopeshes R Us and buy yourself a sword there.”
Ordinarily you wouldn’t make that trade, unless you need to unload the cloak’s contract to free up some room under the salary cap.
Or maybe it’s one of those guys who’s trying to trade all the way from a flint to a cottage on Craiygge’s Lyste.
People, people. Let’s not go crazy. Maybe he was misquoted, and really said revolution had been tabled on account of being a truly awful idea.
You know, like in Robert’s Rules.
