Some Tariff Conundrums.

If protection protects the Pennsylvania miner, making him as sleek and plump as Messrs. Sherman and Platt picture him, why is it necessary to keep Winchester rifles constantly loaded With bullets, the contingent destination of which is his body? Is it because he is totally depraved?
