Okay., the gun debate. im not getting dragged in. besides, godwins law has already been invoked. its over.

I am pretty sure crazy mental retards can't buy weapons now. I am also pretty sure that weapons of mass destruction would never have been a constitutional right if they existed 300 years ago. Gun control is a tricky issue. 99% of the people who buy guns legally are not going to use them to commit crimes. You would think that logically, making it tougher to get guns would put less in the hands that those who would. But come on, that last 1% who do plan to or could forseeably shoot an innocent person in the future would be able to get access to a gun regardless of any such laws. The government bans the sale of marijuana, shrooms, and LSD, but come on, you can get those without much effort. A psychopath is not going to be stopped by a written test. A jealous, motivated killer is not going to drop his carefully laid revenge plans because of a $25 fee and a 2-day waiting period. (is it just me or does the $25 fee sound like a way to fund this new registry? Is that insult to injury or what??)

I'm with Stranglet on this one. There's a good argument to be made against this bill, but there's no reason it has to be so sensationalist. It's one of those arguments that starts "look, I'm not saying that Obama is going to be a brutal, merciless dictator" and then spends 5 pages trying to show just that. But as I recall, liberals had a huge shitfit when the government passed a law to try to monitor the activities of terrorists, saying that we had the right to keep certain things private. Now the conservatives are pulling the same argument, and I dont think it makes the liberals look good when they shoot them down. I dont think comparing Obama to Hitler is much different than accusing Bush of orchestrating 9/11. Although I guess the liberals did at least have a few somewhat logical arguments for that one. And you know, the guy who wrote this carries a firearm.

Whatever..you know Hitler loved Corn Flakes? And Obama eats them every day! I find this veeeeery interesting...
