OT: Election Results

[Mr NFLfan]

That would have been freakin' excellent. One can dream.

I agree. They should consider amending the ballots and adding another box below each parties candidate that reads

none of the above

Make them offer two more thieves to consider.

Politicians in my book rank one level below lawyers on the bottom of the sea meter. (No offense to our current tenured counsel)

Reminds me. Friend of mine works for the DOR here dealing with business tax and such (yeah, effectively he's the taxman). Recently, he's been kinda dating a law student (grad, so she's not that much younger). When they first met and were talking, she paused and said "You know, you may be in the only profession that's hated more than mine."

Ouch

The Aflac salesman just came through my office.

I need to be more careful. He almost convinced me that death and serious injury is lurking around every corner.

I'm kind of scared.

Nancy Pelosi is the DEVIL. She will burn the 2nd amendment and join Kofi Annan's crusade to rid america of it's guns. We are looking at a total gun ban just like Autralia where violent crime has now crossed over 400% from where it was when guns were legal.

Hide you guns. Report them stolen. Bury them somewhere.

The world wants American citizens disarmed and Pelosi will be leading the charge.

It is interesting that Bush was asking Democrats for a plan to get out of Iraq. How about not going there in the first place.

That is like asking for a plan to get out of driving under the influence after having too much to drink.

 

[mgoblue101415]

Dems with the House... Looks like they've got the Senate... Rumsfeld resigns... A female Speaker of the House...

Almost all is right with the world.


There is still, unfortunately, that child in the oval office for another two fricken years.

Maybe because Texas alone has enough ammo to invade...and occupy, a small european nation?

Just kidding, my only thoughts on guns are that anyone who claims they need an assault rifle for "hunting" can never refer to it as "sport"

"Sport" is hunting something that can hunt you back. With a bow and arrow...or just a big knife.

"If they outlaw guns, the only people who'll have guns will be outlaws".

Somebody smart said that once.

Yeah, I got nothing

I can actually play devils advocate for both sides if I was inclined to (I am not) but I don't think they are taking away our guns anytime soon.

I still stand by my previous statement though, if you need an M-16 to take down a rabbit, its time to re-evaluate yourself as a "hunter."

 

[The*Big*Lebowski]

I will always have 1 myself, no matter if they outlaw them or not, though i'd prefer to own it legally.

There are too many nutjobs out there these days to not have one.

I do agree on the assault rifle analogy.

I see no logical, lawful reason why anyone should need a weapon like that for hunting or protection.

I just feel we have the right to bear arms, for hunting, protection, or sport.

That's my only point.

 

[The*Big*Lebowski]

Another wise man once said that it's not guns that kill the people, it's the bullets. He argued that bullets should cost $5 grand a piece.....


Acutally, forget the wise-man part. I think it was Chris Rock.

I don't hunt. But I have an assault rifle. Why? Cuz the Constitution says I can. Why is that so hard for people to understand???? Bush let the Clinton Assault Weapon Ban fade away and now it will fade back.

The reason the "framers" wanted a armed populace is to protect people from Tyrannical Govt.

If the people can only have Bolt action rifles and shotguns....what good does that do against an outlaw Govt. wielding automatics?

It is clearly against the "framers" intentions.

great article on what to come now...

Don't misunderstand me - I didn't say owning an assault rifle was wrong. I said I didn't see the need for one for hunting or protection.

I think, like most things, it comes down to personal accountability (which we have far too less of these days). A guy can own a submachine gun, for all I care, but I don't expect him to go use it hunting animals or shooting school children.

If he wants to take it somewhere for fun, target practice, or whatever - I got no problem with that.

I like guns. I think they're fun. But I respect them, too.

Heck, I even sit on my front porch and shoot at the friggin' sparrows with a BB gun!


(damn things are pissing me off, eating all my birdseed, taking over my martin and bluebird houses, over running the "good" birds).

Hubby calls me Annie Oakley!
