“We’ll get rain today.” Isaac said to his cat Myra.

As if to comply with his words drops started to fall.

There was a knock on the door.

Isaac placed Myra on the floor, got his rifle and opened the door.

An Asian man in a camouflage uniform but unarmed, smiled at him.

“Sir! I am here to inform you that we restored order!”

“I see.” Isaac said.

“We also restored your constitution.”

“Constitution? Let me think..Ah…. I remember! It allowed us the use of firearms.”

“Indeed. But we took that part out. Your country broke down because everyone was eventually armed to the teeth. ”

“We see about that!” Isaac growled, “Nobody is going to tread on my constitutional rights!”

“I am sorry you feel that way, sir.” The Asian man hurried away.

A few minutes later two tanks rolled down the street and blew up Isaacs house.

Myra, being a cat, had already fled.

“We get snow today.” Isaac said to his cat Myra.

As if to comply with his words white flakes started to float downward.

There was a knock on the door.

Isaac placed Myra on the floor, got his rifle and opened the door.

“I see.” Isaac said.

“We also restored your constitution.”

“Indeed. But we took that part out. Your country broke down because everyone was eventually armed to the teeth. .”

“We see about that!.” Isaac growled, “Nobody is going to tread on my constitutional rights!”

“I am sorry you feel that way, sir.” The Chinese man hurried away.
