I don't think anyone has ever seen a gun, legal or illegal get up and just shoot someone by itself.
Geez. I just can't stock up fast enough. This is going to be a very frustrating 2, or 6, or 10 years.
The Dems realized that gun-control was poisen for them, so they shut up about it to get elected. Now that they have control of Congress they can't help themselves. They couldn't even wait a month before trotting out scads of new gun-control schemes. If they keep it up they will lose big in 2008.
Career politicians know only too well that nothing deflects attention from their own dishonesty and ineffectuality like standing up in a position of prominence and screaming at the top of their lungs about a great deal of utter phony baloney.
They are barking up the wrong tree. Yes, guns should not be allowed in the hands of kids (IMO) just like we tell them that they cannot drink, drive a car, enlist or vote until they reach a certain age. However, they will not address the issues that are the problem and that is out of control kids, ghetto culture, drug and alcohol abuse and poverty.
Solve those and people will have less of a need to go bust a cap in someone's ass.....
I just about had a heart attack about the media using the phrase "gun rights group" instead of "eeeeevil gun lobby" till I saw it was CNSNews. I thought it was CNN!
Creates a target-rich environment.
Isn't Peter King on our side? He's solid on imigration, I think.
That sounds "bi-partisan" to me, there are two "D"s and two "R"s, cant go wrong. </sarcasm>
Criminals? Isn't it a crime to conspire to deprive people of their civil rights? Imo, there are plenty of criminals participating in the summit, just for starters.
What are "Illegal Arms"? Who gets to make that definition?
The mayors must be running short on people who want to be victims. Because without lots of victims, you can't get the grant funds to divert for your pet projects, as in a certain southern city. You have to make the streets safer for criminals so that they can be productive and give you a crime rate to complain about. Anyway, shooting gang bangers tends to anger them and that might lead to confrontation.
They don't want to offend their voter base by arresting them.
What a Joke!!! Mayors are upset over "illegal arms" not "illegal aliens" - now I really am mad.
The mayors also announced the creation of "a bi-partisan Congressional Task Force on Illegal Guns," which is to be led by Reps. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), John Conyers, Jr. (D-Mich.), Peter King (R-N.Y.) and Mark Kirk (R-Ill.).
