Bringing Clinton back would help in that he would be 500% better than Osama, which isn't saying much. One of the few good things he did was to reform Welfare and make it less of a drain on anyone who works. Chairman Maobama has already changed that. There's been a fair amount of anti-Obama sentiment on here, and in general I like playing the devil's advocate to even things out, or in more recently, pointing out he's not really the problem. But this rollback of Clinton's workware reform, ugh, it's a horrible idea. What the hell is he thinking. Right, another f**king lawyer. Say whatever you want, but see how China's leaders are all engineers and trained to solve problems, whereas our leaders are lawyers and trained to bitch. Ok, off the soapbox.

The USA only needs to look north up here to Canada to see what kind of horribly bad idea a gun registry is.

what happened in the great frozen tundra of canadia?
and on the lighter side of things:
Princess Pelosi was unable to attend a global warming convention today. Her jet that I helped buy for her was unable to fly due to large amounts of snow. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

GROMMIE! Just checking in. Haven't seen you post in awhile. Wanted to make sure that the Chairman didn't put you in a Rex84 camp or anything for making too much money as a lawyer! Still alive and free, just busy with work. I swear, I deal with the fucking DUMBEST people sometimes... I'll comment on the gun registry later when I get a chance. Short version: as a prosecutor who sees the direct effects of gun crimes, I LOVE this bill I hope it passes. More to come.

We have gun registration in NZ. People buy crossbows instead. Really, what's the point of hunting when you have more than 1 shot?
PS. Sorry I haven't been around to help out, Grom. Work's been busy and I started training for another Ultra-marathon. Also it's summer, so I'd much rather be on a beach than trying to explain things to people on the internet.

just spent the last two weeks with some kiwis from christschurch, nz. they were completely in favor of gun control (it must be bred into them) and HONESTLY believed that no one down there owned guns. sample conversation:
me: so no one owns handguns? kiwi: nope. me: so what if someone breaks into your house? kiwi: well, they wouldn't have a gun... me: and you're positive about this? kiwi: sure am!
people that stupid deserve to be robbed. for those of you who are interested in a good reading about an ignorant society, read 'faith of the fallen' by terry goodkind. totally describes new zealand, imo.

Where is the sport of shooting something that far away? Surely it's much more of a challenge to get close enough to use your 1 shot shotgun or muzzle loader? Maybe I'm just an elitist hunter.
Actually, very few people own guns down here. There are ridiculous restrictions on buying them, especially handguns. Gun related crime is relatively non-existant. Even the gangs don't have many. They normally just fight.
Not sure about you, but I quite like not hearing about 10 gun related crimes everyday. I like walking the streets at night without fear of being shot. If you want to see what happens to unfettered gun access to poor areas, go live in South Africa.

I'm not much of a hunter, so I PERSONALLY don't buy guns. Doesn't mean I don't have any though...
