An interesting fact that you didn't' include is that HB 45 was included as part of Obama's first stimulas plan. Luckily, there were a few smart people that voted no. BTW Clint....WWJD?

Yes , I saw the director of homeland security on 60 minutes spouting that garbage "if we banned assult weapons in the U.S. , Mexico would be safer".

The weapons used by the drug cartels in Mexico are fully automatic , not the type sold in the states semi-auto.

Ithica seems to have forgot about the lady in cape that was initially raped and beaten. Luckily the second ammendment prevailed cause she eneded up shooting that creep. BTW, you will never take my guns. Why don't u jst move to Canada if you so love socialism

I would love to hang that picture in my living room. Where can I get a copy? It would look nice next to Hitler, Marx,Stallin and Chavez. It will be a daily reminder of why left wing, liberal socialists should be removed from this country.

Clint -

Let me know when someone ACTUALLY takes your precious guns away.

Let me know when someone ACTUALLY throws you in the gulags.

Until then, stop your whining. America used to be a great country, then people like you came along. All you do is **** & moan. Try living in Saudi Arabia you inbred hillbilly ahole.

Clint:

I'm a bit too lazy to rewrite my post today in your "Stars & Bars" comment section, so I just cut & pasted it again here. Just wanted to say thanks.

Well, you actually seem to have a pretty interesting if not provacative piece going on here too! I see you've managed to cause a little consternation among some of those gun-grabbing enthusiasts who have failed to learn from history, per G. Santayana (somewhat paraphrased), and go on to doom themselves by repeating it! What's so hard to understand here? Totalitarian socialists know full well that one of the first orders of business for controlling the populace is to disarm them...along with crushing any means to voice dissent; First Amendment comes to mind.

Perhaps I can offer a similar suggestion as I posted in S.O. today, to appease the anti-"assault weapons" advocates, especially those 'itching & moaning about the Big Lie that we in the U.S. can even get them to sell to those fun-loving drug cartels south of us. How about selling 'em "assault muskets", and sweeten the deal by throwing in some bayonets for a reduced bargain price?! Would that satisfy or confound the lefts' "living document" pathology regarding our Founding Fathers' intentions in the Second Amendment? Just a fun thought!!

Clint:

Sorry, I've been a bit "out-of-pocket" for awhile, so maybe this comment is pretty well o.b.e.'d now. But I wanted to thank you anyway for your "Stars & Bars" piece. Once I came across it, I found it really enjoyable, not to mention nobody seemed to take issue with ya on the matter!

Come to think of it, perhaps I should cut/paste this up to one of your more current blogs. But thanks again though.

Clint:

It's a shame you've cut ties with the "SEMO'ian" (or more like they threw you under the bus), as I feel that your work is usually very good, whether I agree with every thing you say or not. This paper is driving good talent away because they've surrendered their spines to the subversive forces of the socialist left, and is in the process of rendering the First Amendment of what was our U.S. Constitution to merely used toilet paper. Like the GOP, this paper has submitted to the mentality of defeat and, therefore, I see no need for the Politburo (formerly known as Congress) to even bother ramming through the "(Un)Fairness Doctrine" to silence dissenting voices, conservative or otherwise.

If it'll make you feel any better, Clint, the "I'm offended" rabid leftist brownshirt wannabe crowd will not be satisfied until this entire nation is silenced and subdued. I'm surprised the suits have spared me from being banned as long as they have, because I won't even acknowledge the messianic "Dear Leader" by his legitimate name, as at least you have. The most mild moniker I've referred to him as so far is the (annoying?) "Essence of B.O.", and you probably don't want to see how I truly feel about him!!

The bottom line, I suppose, is that this nation is determined to commit national suicide; when those who have clamored for their own death wish finally get it, I'm not likely to grieve for them. With that said, good luck Clint.
