I think Brady is due to sunset but I am certain the Bush administration will keep it intact.

If he does that he will be a one term president like his old man was.

Now you've done it. I've not reread any Heinlein since I re bought Starship Troopers because I couldn't find my old copy. I'll have to dig through the boxes of books to see what I can find again. And you made me remember Have Spacesuit Will Travel (which started me on the scifi path) and the long ago youth I will never find again.

Single is no refuge from having a protective order sworn at (against) you.

Single is no refuge from having a protective order sworn at (against) you.

I'm sure that's true.
But I do still think it might have "unintended consequences" for some thinking
gunowners (male and female).
But that may not be a bad thing...maybe they'll give a little more thought before
entering into any sort of long-term relationship when you throw this log on the fire:
"Could my significant other's potential instabilities rob me of the right to
own a gun, rifle, or shotgun?"

For more than a few that would contemplate that, it might just be "the kicker"
that tells them to "play it safe" and move on to the next candidate.

It's too bad to think this way, but when a bunch of NOW and Handgun Control brainwashed
lawyers and legislators get a head of steam, about all you can do is try not
to draw their attention.
