It is interesting how you all forget the attacks of 9/11 so easily. Perhaps we may not be able to use our arms to defend our household against major attacks, but we can use them to defend our homestead from an attack on it. That is what the constitution calls for, not taking down 747s. If a terrorist enters your house and attempts to take your family hostage, you will feel quite weak and powerless when your family is taken advantage of by terrorists. Being the head of the household, it is our duty as men to protect our families and we shouldnt be doing things that only tie our hands from defending our kin.

Guns dont kill people, people kill people. Jeb is right, the sound of our guns is the sound of our freedom. If the second amendment is broken, our constitution will surely falter. then america will go to hell in a hand basket you people are idiots. Guns dont kill people, people kill people.

It was in large part about the NRA, how we have software databases that track crime and gun dealers which can help to protect us, but Rumsfield has completely stopped it since he came into office! Very facinating information. Check it out...PBS is down now or I would have given you the link.

I remember hearing about this issue about the time that the Washington, D.C. area snipers were wreaking terror upon their fellow citizens. But, no, we don't want to hear about them, now do we? They might add some complexity to the moral equation. Can't have that!

The rest goes too far I think, but that sentence is a keeper.

Under the Patriot Act, the feds can intrude on our library books, our email, our video rentals, our music CDs, our magazine subscriptions, our credit cards, and so on and so forth, but any and all information about gun ownership is specifically excluded from what they are permitted to obtain. The laugh/cringe line I've been using is that Ashcroft believes that the Bill of Rights contains only one amendment ... well, actually, only <b>half</b> of one amendment (conveniently forgetting that phrase about a well-regulated militia).

Without them, who knows if we could keep the Redcoats at bay. Yep, I thank God for Chuck Heston and Jeb Bush every time my Braille edition of Guns ‘n’ Ammo arrives.

He's a card carrying member of the NRA and yet he can't figure out why we neither own a gun or will allow him to teach my children to shoot. I prefer to teach them the damage guns can inflict and then let them make their own choice.
