I would love some proof of this. Washington D.C. has LOTS of handguns. The NRA morons love to spout “facts” about guns that have no basis in reality. My favorite is “crime is high in England because they don’t have guns.” The British violent crime rate is less than a tenth of ours and unlike here where most violent crimes are committed with handguns that actually kill the victims, most violent crimes there are beatings.

Hmmm… I wonder who will win this battle: The Swift Boat Liars and the Pro-guns-in-criminals’-hands types Versus the Chicago machine and Chicago gangs. I think I know whose kneecaps are coming off in advance. I’m on the gangs’ side for safety. :)

BGRS: “history shows us that areas that have more guns in them experience less crime.”

Arch-conservatives are always adept at claiming this, but sorely lacking in backing it up with actual evidence.

NMRN: “Obama’s got enough baggage to fill a whole Amtrak car.”

Wait til you see McSame’s B-52-filling baggage on display — It will put Obama’s carry-on-size baggage to shame. Obama’s stuff is already out and consumed. Poor McSame — he’ll have to deal with all his past crooked dealing coming out anew, as many voters had forgotten about all that!

BluegrassRedState: Thank you for your narrow mindedness. It is folks like you that will scare the good, previously unengaged, voters around the nation to vote D in the fall.

“history shows us that areas that have more guns in them experience less crime. that’s what history shows us.” ~ Do you really believe this to be true?

I remind we live in the most violent “civilization” in the western, industrialized world (by a disturbingly large margin). You know why? The mass cultural proliferation of & easy accessibility to small arms.

I fully support the second amendment, but I also support informed, thoughtful commentary. Try it sometime… it’s fun.

If evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will own handguns. Or something.

that’s what history shows us.

GET REAL.

This Republican doesn’t fear Obama. I guess it would probably get me branded as a racist if I said, “Please don’t throw me in the briar patch.”

I’m no great fan of McCain and am really thinking of getting a “Nobody in ’08″ sticker, but Obama’s got enough baggage to fill a whole Amtrak car.

As opponents go, I’d much rather face Obama than Hillary. The negative ads practically write themselves where “Barry” is concerned.

No filters here. We don’t get the vapors easily.
