Truth is the cement that holds the bricks and stones of a sane and civilized society together. Remove the former and the latter will crumble. -
And the founders of this country wanted us to have the ability to protect ourselves from the Politicians with the mentality "I'm from the government and I'm here to help"
I don't think we need someone to ride a mule to the capital and cast a vote for us anymore.
I can voice my opinion from my keyboard.
'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?' -
I don't see this passing. Its way too incompasing, and would be so bad economically that it can't passNever fear I is here

Testament to the fact that we continually elect idiots to public office.
MarkWhat are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

Hmmm...so if this passes, you have to register your gun, you have to have records if you sell it or it changes ownership, and you have to secure it in a safe place so your children can't get to it...
What's wrong, again?"Millennium hand and shrimp!"Comment

MB, a lot of folks, me included, feel that registering your guns is the first step in them being confiscated the first time a politician says it's in the nation's interest to take our guns.Originally posted by Mzungu View Post
Obviously keeping guns secured away from kids is the proper thing to do and no one in his right mind would say otherwise.
Some of the other things though...submitting to psychoanalysis at the whim of the AG? Who pays for that? ...and what if I'm pissed off that day cuz I almost got ran off the freeway on the way to the appointment by some idiot reading a book on the steering wheel? Does a shrink decide that I have anger issues and can't own a gun?
Gun control is a slippery slope and can quickly turn into a situation where the only people who own guns are the crooks.

Thanks, Mark. I really was asking in all truthfulness. My coworker and I are together for 2 days out of the week, and he's really into things such as this, and it's made me curious.
I just hope you're not saying you want the right to shoot the knucklehead who ran you off the freeway.

Harry Reid just announced today that the deadline for the vote on health care will be delayed until after the August recess. Hopefully, this time more people will figure out what's actually in it instead of just throwing some thousand paged bill on the desk and working the details out later. That's how we keep getting into this mess.Comment
