It looks like expensive bureaucracy legislation. Sets up committees, groups, sub-groups to hold meetings and ... talk? They take no action.

Except, of course, tattling to the PD, tattling to the DA, reporting you (and whomever) as an unsafe and mentally unstable person to the health board, reporting you as a risky individual...

It does not grant any extra powers to the police nor public to prevent any crime.

It does, however, provide MANY avenues of misinformation.

This is the setup to establish a special committee that will release at least one and probably many, authoritative, anti-gun reports tobe submitted to congress and the MSM. All on our dollars. :banghead:

Oh Gawd. An effing "Five-Year Plan",like with the Soviet Union. Ya think maybe somebody will append a rider for grain production quotas before it gets outta committee?:banghead::banghead:

Where did it say - did I miss it? what part of the Constitution authorizes this boondoggle?? I have been looking and I don't see anything that says they can do it. But most people think that since the Constitution does not specifically say they cant't, then they may, whatever it is.

Well, it is a five year plan, so that means the results will be reviewed by either President Palin or Vice President Coulter.:celebrate

This bill is a joke. Local communities have tried most of the stuff this bill proposes already, with no success what so ever.

Just another way to waste tax payers money.

Sorry. I simply must remember not to say anything controversial in these posts.:D
You can say whatever you want, but it might elicit undesirable results. ;)

Actually I want to get some "Palin/Coulter 2012" bumper stickers priinted . NOT mind you for MY car; but to surreptitiously slap over the Obama bumper stickers I keep seeing. With any luck, a lot of Ubamanistas would wonder why they were suddenly disinvited from parties, etc. :cool:
