That’s the true purpose of gun control. It’s not to combat criminals, terrorists and lunatics, for if they really want guns, they will have them, law or no law. It’s to keep honest people dependent on the government for protection from criminals, terrorists and lunatics. I think one of your late senators — Metzenbaum, was it — as much as admitted this to journalists “off the record”
Metzenbaum was the malefactor-in-chief at the three-ring circus that blackguarded Clarence Thomas at his confirmation hearing. Metzenbaum was the one spilling derogatory stuff from the "raw" FBI files to the lap-it-up-yum-yum liberal Media.
Ted Kennedy was the enabler and sounding board ("OHHH, I'm so disappointed in this nominee -- I didn't KNOW that, did you KNOW that about this disgusting person?"), Joe Biden was the ringmaster who allowed that shameful garbagefest to continue in public (which was Metzenbaum's whole point in dumping stuff), but Metzenbaum was the Garbage Godfather who maligned vilely and with impunity one of the finest Justices ever to sit on the Court.
