Here's one of the Brady bunch's stooges that needs to get dropped like a hot rock at the next election.

Do these twits really think that any kind of microstamping is going to work? even after hundreds of rounds have gone through and especially after some rigorous cleaning afterwards.

Why not take the weapons out of the hands of the criminals? Oh wait there are laws on the books about that... err why not enforce them? oh because unlike the law-abiding citizens the criminals fight back and are not likely to just give up their weapons.

Where is this loony from? an appropriate name really.

Exactly! What a lot of people don't have figured out is when this depression kicks into overdrive and social services start getting cut due to no funds the huge illegal population is going to become way more visible and I don't mean in a good way.

I'm wondering if some of the increase in pistol permit applications isn't the civil unrest writing on the wall and some are figuring it's only going to increase in the Obamanation.
