Sorry Mr. Jacoby, but things won't be the same again. 9/11 brought rise to the DHS and the dreaded TSA. Never letting a crisis go to waste, this administration is no doubt plotting right now how best to clamp down even harder on the American sheeple. Perhaps certain of them feel it will be deserved 'punishment' for daring to thwart the Chosen One's gun legislation.

Typical liberal response to an argument - character assassination in the absence of a valid point.

Oh really? Human nature has "evolved" has it? Evolved to shooting babies in the face because the mother wouldn't hand over her money? THAT kind of "evolved"?

Of course he's being sarcastic. The point is that clearly, the liberals are too cowardly to do just that. They may be crazy, but they're not stupid.

I wonder why nobody ever thinks to stomp on cartoon drawings of Mohammad, let alone the word itself?

I thought/think he was/is lying about his intentions. Would he really blow nearly $2000 on a rifle only to "give it away"? (He could've given it to me, I'd be happy to take it off his hands.)

Probably can't tell you what federal agency I work for, but I've already received my sequestration notice in e-mail. The changes won't take effect until April, but they are in the works. Too many details remain that the muckity-mucks upstairs haven't figured out yet, so we won't know true details until the last minute. Meanwhile, we still collect OT for covering other guy's shifts (I thought we were broke?). The DHS buys thousands of armored vehicles and billions of bullets. The TSA buys $50 million worth of new uniforms and John Kerry still hands out hundreds of million of dollars to countries that hate us. My blood boils.

Starting to think all this talk was a red balloon that the Admin throws up there to see who shoots at it. If there's minimal resistance, they would have forged ahead boldly to abolish the Second Amendment. But, just becasue the "balloon" drew a lot of flak does not mean they have given up on the idea of total gun control. They will continue with the piece-meal dismantling of our Constitution as they eagerly await the next massacre.

Reminds me of the Tea Party riots at the DC Mall during Beck's rally. The crowd was so riled up and fuming they picked up after themselves and left the place looking better than it was.

Oh for cryin' out loud - you were that stupid to go there in the first place?!?!?!?!?
