People don’t kill people, guns do - Leticia Stark, In Josh Sugarmann’s book Every Handgun is Aimed at You
I found a copy of the book at the local Half Price Books, and figured I would check it out. That gives you an idea of what is contained in the book. I also had to laugh about the section on the courts, seeing as Heller reversed most of what Sugarmann claimed.
Now to get a few asprain and read some more…

Actually, there are a lot I could chose from, but that would detract from the rest of the post.
Check out how Xavier’s daughter deals with the range know-it-all.
I think it demonstrates how there is still a lot of progress to be made educating people that guns are more than trap, skeet, and steel. (Don’t get me wrong, those are great. Especially trap)
While it is easy to enjoy the ending, I think where she really shined was in trying to educate the guy along the way. She explained what she was doing, and why, and only got really snarky when it was clear he wasn’t going to be reasonable. Hopefully, he thinks about what she said, and maybe decides to look into things a little more.

A company’s soul purpose is to make money, not to help people or make the world a better place. If you take from their bottom line, they have to make cuts somewhere. Cutting taxes on the middle class doesn’t really help that much if they don’t have a job with a salary to tax in the first place! - Mrs. Ahab

U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman in Washington, D.C., said the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service could not remove wolves from the endangered species list in the Great Lakes region while wolves remained endangered in other parts of the country. (jsonline.com)
Another instance of a judge sticking his nose in where it doesn’t belong. The fact that animals are underpopulated in certain areas has nothing to do with maintaining proper numbers in other areas. Wisconsin has needed to kill at least 45 wolves this year, when they became a problem to farmers and landowners. With the current rising prices of food, the last thing we need is to increase the liklihood of losses to farmers due to an overpopulation of predators that destroy livestock. Predators that are under no pressure from humans (are not hunted) are going to lose their fear, and become an increasingly large threat. Something like this is best decided on a regional basis, not from a Federal bench in Washington.

“Absolutely. He deserves to be embarrassed.” - Dinesh D’Souza
Mr. D’Souza was responding to a reporter if his George Obama Compassion Fund was an attempt to embarrass Barack [redacted] Obama.
If you don’t know the story, G. Obama is B.H. Obama’s half brother, living on $1 a month in the slums in Kenya. Dinesh D’Souza formed the George Obama Compassion Fund to help him out. According to D’Souza’s research, the poverty line in Kenya is about $100/year.
Last year, Barack Obama made $4,000,000. Assuming you would need several times the $100 to live fairly well in Kenya, say, maybe $400 per year, 1 tenth of 1 percent of Obama’s income last year could keep his half brother living well for 10 years!
To put that in perspective, let’s say you make $40,000 per year. Don’t you think you could $40 to help a family member out?
For all of Obama’s soaring rhetoric about helping out people who are down, he can’t even help his own family.
He does indeed deserve to be embarrassed.

At Armed Canadian:
When in England at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building by George Bush.
He answered by saying, “Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.”
You could have heard a pin drop.
I had heard that one, he lists several more. Check it out.

“A gun lives forever, a human being doesn’t live forever, It does much damage to anyone in the community.” - Mayor Richard Daley
I suppose the Mayor is trying to say that the gun is a more lasting threat or something, BUT A GUN DOES NOT LIVE FOREVER. IT IS NOT ALIVE IN THE FIRST PLACE. It has been said often, but until we stop hearing stupid stuff like this, it will be said again. A gun does not have a will, except for the will of the person holding it.
