The only exception is if one is used in a negative sense as in "Babs Boxer is totally lacking in common-sense."
Some people just can’t get a bloody clue.
Precisely
The real bitch (other than Ma’am Babs herself) of this is - Why aren’t the GOP leaders immediately jumping to their feet and bitch-slapping this shameless exploitation of a tragedy into oblivion???
Every time one of these Apparachniks introduces a gun control bill and mentions “Tuscon” inthe same breath, the Republicans should be screaming about “wading in innocent blood” and “opportunism” and any other epithet that applies.
Half the battle could be won just by CALLING THESE A*HOLES ON THE CARPET everytime they bring this sh*t up.
So far the response....[crickets...snoring....]
Once I'm approved for CCW in Nevada, I can carry lawfully in Manhattan NYC in exactly the same manner in which I can drive my Nevada-licensed truck down Fifth Avenue with my Nevada-issued driver's license in my wallet.
There, and any other city in the USA. You got a deal, Senator Boxer.
I would love to be able to carry in CA. Here in Reno I seldom feel the need for carry (people here armed and polite), but since I ride in CA often (Fry’s run to Sac, the Sharktank in SJ, the beach at Santa Cruz, exploring the Sierras and Central coast) thats
where I would like to carry.
Thats where gangs, crazy people and roadragers have free rein.
Congressional Republicans are checking the wind direction on this one, maybe have Frank Luntz do some focus group polls before they say anything :).

Noob? Nope, 2011, new comedian.
A good one too. By the end of the year we’ll all be LOAO.
“..Congressional Republicans are checking the wind direction on this one..”
Good point.
“I think Mr. Loughtner DID have a conceal carry permit.”
Isn’t Arizona a “Constitutional Carry” state where no permit is required to carry concealed?
It’s too bad that more citizen of Arizona didn’t exercise that right or the Tucson tradegy would have been prevented/mitigated.
“Barbara Boxer” and “common sense”; two phrases that go together like “fish sticks” and “tire iron”.
The RNC vision of rapid response is to defer until the next election cycle, and tell us what masterful plans they have if only we’ll support them. Then, after we do, NOTHING, again!

Not following you here, friend? You know I’m not a Noob - we’ve spoken before.
“..RNC vision of rapid response is to defer until the next election cycle...”
Hope that’s all they do - and not cave in, suddenly getting the idea that “hey...gun control didn’t work for the Dems...maybe it’ll be a good idea for US!”.
“Why aren’t the GOP leaders immediately jumping to their feet and bitch-slapping this shameless exploitation of a tragedy into oblivion???”
Because the republican party is corrupt and aligned with the dims... and unlike the dims... the republican leadership are cowards.

I don’t care what the bill is, we should start naming ours like they do.
Tax Reform = The Loving Puppies bill
Spending cuts = The Children’s Act
Defense appropriations = The Mother Earth act
Hey, it works for the Dems.
I doubt it. So many of the newly elected Reps from both sides of the aisle have such sturdy creds in this area, I don't think that even Tuscon will be able to overcome the radiation that emanates from gun control and the chilling effect it has on political careers. The fact that Americans each and every month from Nov 2008 thru March of 2010 purchased enough firearms, magazines and ammo to completely equip the combined armies of both India and pakistan (each and every single month!) will have a calming effect on the pols who want to remain in power. It wasn't just Republicans buying all that firepower, after all. The RATS are so deep in the hole that nobody except the mental moonbeams like Boxer and Feinstein and Carolyn McCarthy are going to sign onto this kind of legislative kool-aid. I just don't see it happening. EVEN IF it makes it past the Senate (which I doubt), it is still DOA in the House.
Pretty much seems that way...
Unless they have a super secret, really really really fool-proof plan to stick it to the Dems, and stand up to them once and for all, and, and...oh, wait...never mind.
Nah. Yer right, brother.
I’m not sure.........maybe what I read so often is that he is “legally
qualified to carry.
