Unless we're talking about people using credit cards to buy guns ... they don't belong in the same legislation so that people vote on them together and them make commercials telling us about why we should elect them and not someone else, based on these odd couplings.

I too thought you would be anit-gun, and was ready to do away with my constant checking of your great sites. People who break the law didn't care if there was a law on the books anyhow.

I would have thought you'd write this post with a very anti-gun attitude. I'm not sure why. Glad you didn't. It's ridiculous the way that whole "rider" thing works, with one law being packaged with another, completely unrelated law. What about the people who like shooting people but don't like guns. Nobody ever thinks about those poor folks. I'm going skiing tomorrow! Can you tell i'm bored right now? “business as usual” …yeah, i wouldn’t expect much craziness.

"Uncle Teddy ‘Ted’ Nugent can stand on top of Old Faithful waving a Desert Eagle around if he wants to." No, he can't. Wyoming has very specific laws against illegally brandishing a firearm. "I’m sure anyone who really wanted to carry a gun around National Parks was doing so anyway." Like criminals. Exactly. I as a Democrat am completely in favor of this rule change, and am glad that petty bureaucrats don't get to infringe on civil rights any more.
