The snippet for today precisely describes the ORIGINAL meaning of the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution, and is from "Nanny Ogg's Cookbook" by Sir Terry with the help of a few others. Extremely brief background: Lancre is the name of a small kindgom which is the site of a number of the series' stories.
"In Lancre we have what I suppose you'd call a constitutional monarchy if we had a constitution.
