Mississippi Congressman Wants Further Gun Ban
vanity | 23 July, 2008 | Marktwain

A Mississippi congressman (Rep Thompson, D) wants to create even more defensless victim zones. Thompson is displeased with a recent Georgia State law that removes infringements on the right of Georia citizens to bear arms on public transportation.

While there is no history of problems in this area, Thompson wishes to ban guns from unspecified zones around airports, far beyond the traditional security zones established to prevent terrorists from smuggling arms onto airliners.

Most airports around the country respect the second amendment rights of citizens to bear arms outside the designated security zones.

I have a life changing surprise for you Mr. Thompson.

Terrorist are not respecters of the law.

I know that this is shocking and dismaying but I thought you should know.

Terrorist have been known to illegally park at airport short term parking when they obviously had know intent of ever returning to their car at all. I know this shocking but it is true.

"Now, son, I know you're a law-abiding citizen. I know you haven't done anything wrong, never caused any trouble. But you know that inalienable right you got? The one the Supreme Court just upheld as your own individual right? Well, I'm gonna take it away from you. Just because I can."

I wonder if Bennie would go for banning guns for blacks? Isn’t that what the Democrats of old did?

Hey Bennie. I suggest you lose a little weight. It will make it easier to bend over and kiss your a$$ goodbye.
