Oh, the irony. Bloomburg Press says gun control is a non-starter.

And the headline:
Gun Control: A Movement Without Followers
More Americans favor Second Amendment rights, and lower murder rates in big cities convince some that tough laws are unnecessary

Go read all 2 pages.  Try not to hurt yourself laughing as you do.

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

The Brady group announced that the front people for its Jan. 8 candle-lighting commemoration of the Tucson shooting would include cable talk show host Reverend Al Sharpton and comedian Lewis Black.

This is the point where I started laughing.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

I guess this is proof that a reporter can write an honest article once in a while.

All I can say is that this guy should have had his firearm concealed in his room if he chose to bring it to NYC.  I personally would leave mine at home.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
