About four years ago, I was in the hospital.

A nurse needed a blood sample. Seconds before she stuck me in the arm with the needle, she said, ‘little prick.’

I said, ‘I’ve been called worse!’

The red-headed nurse and the nursing assistant both had a good chuckle.

WOT??? Didn’t Obama say that 90% of Americans supported his gun control dictates? These polls must therefore be wrong!

He was going to go with claiming that 142% of Americans agree with him, but he didn't want people to think he was lying or sumthin

I don’t care if he “sways the public” or not. This is a Constitutional issue and barring a repeal of the 2nd Amendment I and several agents of the Feral Gubbmint will die should they try to violate my rights.

It is hard for known serial liars to persuade others.

That’s why Barky had to act on his own because we just won’t listen.

We need common sense repeal of the NFA 0f 1934, the GCA 0f ‘68 and the common sense elmination of the BATFE for starters.

THANK YOU! Republicans and the NRA have to stop playing defense and go on offense. It is time to roll back the unConstitutional infringements on our rights that have already been perpetrated upon the public and way past time to close down the shooting galleries known as “gun free zones.”

What? The public knows taking guns away from law biding citizens doesn’t make the Chicago ghetto any safer? How can that be?

Who counts the votes, again?

Indeed the 'who' is very important. And where. The where is in the big cities and the 'who' that controls those cities. Look around the country and see where the votes that swing elections in Presidental elections come from. Remember Philly? There were districts where Romney got 0, that's ZERO votes. How does that happen? Well there is a scene in the movie Key Largo where Johnny Rocco played wonderfully by Edward G. Robinson has this little speech.

Johnny Rocco: You hick! I'll be back pulling strings to get guys elected mayor and governor before you ever get a 10-buck raise. Yeah, how many of those guys in office owe everything to me. I made them. Yeah, I made 'em, just like a -- like a tailor makes a suit of clothes. I take a nobody, see? Teach him what to say. Get his name in the papers and pay for his campaign expenses. Dish out a lotta groceries and coal. Get my boys to bring the voters out. And then count the votes over and over again till they added up right and he was elected. Yeah -- then what happens? Did he remember when the going got tough, when the heat was on? No, he didn't wanna. All he wanted was to save his own dirty neck . . . Yeah, 'Public Enemy,' he calls me. Me, who gave him his 'Public' all wrapped up with a fancy bow on it.

67% do not approve of the way Obama is handling gun policy.

It is 67% support for a single policy that is just a re-statement of what already exists.

In the same poll, 53% say they disapprove of the way Obama is handling gun policy, while only 43% approve.
