I just had a thought. That was a required course in my SENIOR year. A lot of these obamabots never made it to their senior year, so they never had the course. Maybe they should teach it in the 4th grade. Of course that would make the 4th grade an even more miserable 3 years for most of these folks.

When I was a senior in high school (Texas) we were required to take "Government". I wonder if it's still required learning, and, if it is, what the syllabus looks like now.

I got my renewal notice in the mail a couple of weeks ago, and have been feeling guilty about not renewing it yet. I just re-upped for another 5 years. One more thing I can check off of my to-do list. BTW, does anyone besides me have a concern about all this talk of requiring guns to be registered? It bothers me a LOT. Why does the federal government need to know what guns I have? The only reason I can think of is that perhaps they might want to confiscate them in the future.

you mean like the toxins found in your kool-aid?

oops, I forgot. Thanks for the reminder!

It that's the case, and I strongly disagree that it is, and fracking is so bad, then don't you think that the government could just as easily be screwing up by dumping money into "green" energy?

Really Barskor? I mean REALLY? I'm sure you have a link to a video of an "invisible toxic fog bank" exploding or suffocating anything? And we don't have to worry about it causing "Asama" remember? The great O killed him.

So just how do you propose keeping armed lunatics bent on mass murder out of schools? I'll bet there are lots of retired military/law enforcement types who would be willing to guard schools for a mere pittance. Heck, I'd do it for free a few days a week.

How many guns have you purchased Flaming? I've purchased several. Rifles, shotguns, handguns, and yes, even an AR. I pretty much had to jump through hoops. Why do we need more laws? What would they be?

Have there been any studies on guns purchased through "gun show loopholes?" Does anyone have a number of how many of those guns have been used to commit crimes? I keep hearing about closing the "gun show loophole", but I suspect that's a great big red herring.

good point. Also, someone should tell Mayor Bloomberg that there are more calories in beer than there are in soda. Maybe he should try to ban that.
