disarming pillow-toting

Who says Detroit is ungovernable? The Associated Press reports that Motown's Finest not only aren't soft on crime, they're not even soft on soft, fluffy weapons: Police in Detroit have ruffled some feathers after they cracked down on an organized pillow fight at a downtown park. The Detroit News reports that police at Campus Martius Park prevented the feathery fight Saturday by disarming pillow-toting participants. The bout was part of a worldwide event organized on social networking Web sites.

Michael Davis of Hamtramck says police confiscated the 32-year-old man's pillows but returned their cases. He says he was told that he needed a permit. Scott Harris of Ferndale told the News that it's "not illegal to own a pillow."

Does anyone really believe that when the Founding Fathers wrote the Second Amendment, they meant to protect the private ownership of pillows? Unlike guns, pillows are useless for hunting; their only purpose is as an offensive weapon. Oh, or to help get a good night's sleep.
