Why do I bitch so much? Cause I can... Take a look at this gun control opinion from Neal Boortz and tell me what you think... It couldn't have been said any better.
***** Taken from Nealz Nuze *****
IS THERE HOPE FOR CALIFORNIA'S GUN OWNERS AFTER ALL?
Remember when Gian Luigi Ferri
shot up a San Francisco law office in 1993? He killed eight people and wounded
six more before killing himself. Two of his weapons were TEC-DC9 pistols.
The families of the victims sued Navegar Inc., the Miami-based manufacturer of
those TEC-DC9s. A lower court allowed the suit to continue, but the California
Supreme Court ruled 5-1 yesterday that victims cannot sue weapons makers for
damages when criminals use their products illegally.
Yes, you read that right. A California court actually made a sensible ruling on
guns! The court said the victims failed to prove that Navegar's marketing
practices led Ferri to choose the TEC-DC9. In a state that's moving towards
licensing and registering gun owners, the high court has provided some common
sense. Maybe there's hope for California after all.
All you anti-gunners out there who think gun manufacturers should face liability
for the misuse of their products...think about it. I know it's
hard for you, but sit down and noodle it out for a few minutes. By your
logic...
...Drivers could sue cell phone manufacturers for causing car crashes.
...Victims of drunk drivers could sue liquor companies.
...Rosie O'Donnell could sue spoon manufacturers for making her so fat!
Gun control and logic just
don't mix. Emotions dominate the gun control argument--do it for the children,
save a loved one's life, and
whatnot. But the facts show that America is safer because its citizens are
armed.
The easiest way to shut a gun grabber up is to use cold, hard facts.

AND WHO'S HOLDING THE GUN IN THAT PHOTO?
At the top of the CBS News
story linked above is a photograph of the TEC-DC9. It's being held by someone.
But who's the shooter?
The folks at the gun-rights home page Keepandbeararms.com know who it is. It's
none other than Charles Schumer, the esteemed Democratic senator from New York.
Schumer has been one of the Senate's leading advocates of gun control, not to
mention more restrictions on the law-abiding public's ability to defend
themselves.
The full, uncropped Reuters photograph shows Schumer, wearing hearing
protection, at an outdoor range, grinning as he blazes away at a target
downrange with a TEC-9. CBS trimmed the photo to show only Schumer's hands and
the gun. (By the way...shooters will recognize Schumer's blatant disregard for
the rules of the shooting range. He's not wearing any eye protection.)
No, it doesn't affect the story itself...but the cropped photograph shows just
how far CBS News is willing to go to protect folks like Chuck Schumer from
criticism. They're not about to circulate a picture of a prominent Democratic
senator exhibiting his poor knowledge of range rules--and enjoying shooting the
kind of guns he wants to take away from everybody else.

We Still Know What You Did In The White House...
Why can't this goon go away? Why can't Former Criminal President Clinton go away? Why does he consistently permeate his whacked up morality into mainstream America? You know why? The Liberal Media just Loves those Criminal Clintons. You cannot tell me with a straight face that Jr. Senator Clinton is not gearing up to campaign for President? Not only does she take advantage of our government system, she thinks we are dumb and that we cannot see pass that fake smile of hers. What is Criminal President Clinton going to write about anyways? How he had his cronies bring over kegs to watch the interns put on a show in the oval office? How about getting some "head" while innocent Serbians die in their own country from our bombs. Oh, and do you need a place to stay? Well if you contribute to the DNC we can shack you up in the Lincoln's bedroom if the price is right. Sure, maybe he'll even throw in some interns as an extra bonus. Give me a Break. How about this Con"did"it guy? Is he going to get off as easily as Criminal Clinton will? We need somebody that is going to shrink the size of Government...I don't mean a little bit...I mean a whole lot. We need somebody that will stand up for our rights as Citizens and will uphold every single word that is contained in our Constitution. We need a Libertarian...

This update will be simple, short, and sweet...NO INTERNET TAXATION. This is just another ploy for the Government to take some of your consumer freedoms away (not to mention your money). The liberals see this as a great idea to generate some revenue to revive some of their entitlement programs. People, don't get sucked into this little game of take the money away from the rich and give it to the poor. The internet has always been tax-free and our nation has done fine...don't let this slump in our economy scare you...because you know the liberals will use this as a scare tactic to get you in favor of Internet Taxation.
