Easily..

Miracles? I don't expect them from him. I don't expect anything from him, but a bunch of broken promises and one step closer to a global governance.

... Easy as hell to do the right thing.. All other ways is, well, just wrong...

They'll hear two words. "Get out" if not, Bang, Bang, Bang, until the clip emptys.

I'm wondering if the boy really used the gun after being taught how to use it by his father, or by his new play station with all the frills... There is no basis for intrusion into the abolishment of the 2nd amendment. Take a look at what guns really do here.. http://www.gunowners.org/fs99... facts on the real responsibility of owning a firearm. Bet you'll be amazed... Here are some facts on kids.. Firearms statistics A. General Death Rates Cause Number Heart disease 710,760 Cancer 553,091 Stroke (cerebrovascular disease) 167,661 Chronic lower respiratory diseases 122,009 Doctor's negligence 98,329 Influenza and pneumonia 65,313 Motor-vehicle 43,354 Suicides (all kinds, including firearms) 29,350 Firearms (Total)* Suicides Homicides Accidents 16,586 10,801 776 28,163 Accidents (six causes) Falls Poison (solid, liquid) Choking on food or other object Drowning Fires, flames Firearms 13,322 12,757 4,313 3,402 3,377 776 Homicides (all instruments) 16,765 Source: Except for the figure on doctor's negligence, the above information is for 2000 and is taken from National Safety Council, Injury Facts: 2003 Edition, at 10, 19-20, 129. The number of yearly deaths attributed to doctor's negligence is based on the Harvard Medical Practice Study (1990) which is cited in Kleck, Point Blank, at 43.127 *The total firearms death figure above is a summary of the "Suicides," "Homicides" and "Accidents" subcategories. The Total excludes two categories: Legal Intervention and Undetermined. B. Children Accidental Death Rates (Ages 0-14) Cause Number (Ages 0-14) Number (Ages 0-4) Motor-vehicle 2,591 819 Drowning 943 568 Fires and flames 593 327 Mechanical suffocation 601 508 Ingestion of food, object* 169 169 Firearms 86 19 Source: Figures are for 2000. National Safety Council, Injury Facts: 2003 Edition, at 10-11, 129. * The "Ingestion of food, object" category is underreported in the first column since the NSC did not include death rates for "5 to 14 Years." C. Children and Guns *Fact: Accidental gun deaths among children have declined by over 50 % in 25 years, even though the population (and the gun stock) has continued to increase.128 * Fact: Despite the low number of gun accidents among children (see above), most of these fatalities are not truly "accidents." According to Dr. Gary Kleck, many such accidents are misnamed—those "accidents" actually resulting from either suicides or extreme cases of child abuse.129 * Dr. Kleck also notes that, "Accidental shooters were significantly more likely to have been arrested, arrested for a violent act, arrested in connection with alcohol, involved in highway crashes, given traffic citations, and to have had their driver's license suspended or revoked."130 * Myth: One child is accidentally killed by a gun every day. Dr. Gary Kleck notes that to reach this figure, anti-gun authors must include "children" aged 18-24.131 As noted above, there were only 142 fatal gun accidents for children in 1997. * Myth: 135,000 children take guns to school every day. This factoid was based on a survey that did not even ask children if they carried a weapon to school. The "take guns to school" statement is completely imputed into the survey results. With regard to the 135,000 figure, Dr. Gary Kleck has shown that this number is wildly inflated.132 * Myth: Children gun deaths are at epidemic proportions. Fact: Twice as many children are killed playing football in school than are murdered by guns. That’s right. Despite what media coverage might seem to indicate, there are more deaths related to high school football than guns. In the last three years, twice as many football players died from hits to the head, heat stroke, etc. (45), as compared with students who were murdered by firearms (22) during that same time period.133 Fact: More children will die in a car, drown in a pool, or choke on food than they will by firearms. As seen by the chart above, children are at a 2,000 percent greater risk from the car in their driveway, than they are by the gun in their parents’ closet. Children are almost 7 times more likely to drown than to be shot, and they are 130 percent more likely to die from choking on their dinner.134 * Myth: There are more guns in schools today because of lax gun control laws.To the contrary, two facts put this myth to rest: Fact: Currently, there are strict laws that, with few exceptions, prevent adults from possessing a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school. These and other gun control laws have failed to keep guns off school grounds. Fact: In the past, "guns in schools" were never a problem during the era when children had the greatest access to firearms. For example, even though there were far fewer gun control laws on the books in the 1950's, there was not a problem with illegal guns in schools. Rather, the top problems in American classrooms during that era were such (non-violent) activities as chewing gum, talking in class and running in the halls. * More on guns in schools. So what has changed? Why do illegal guns make their way onto school grounds today, even though federal gun control laws have now grown to comprise more than 88,000 words of restrictions and requirements?135 There are several possible reasons, including: a. Lax punishment of juvenile children. Several state studies have shown that juvenile offenders will make several journeys through the legal system before doing any time in a penal facility.136 This problem, of course, is not just limited to juveniles. A murderer of any age (in 1990) could expect to serve only 1.8 years in prison, after one considers the risk of apprehension and the length of the sentence.137 b. Imitation of T.V. violence. Before completing the sixth grade, the average American child sees 8,000 homicides and 100,000 acts of violence on television.138 Two surveys of young American males found that 22 to 34 percent had tried to perform crime techniques they had watched on television.139 c. Morality shift. "The kids have changed," says Judge Gaylord Finch, speaking with the help of a dozen years of observation from his bench, where he sits as chief judge of Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court. "The values have just become so relative, and it sometimes seems we have no values in common anymore."140

A very big waste of time. I choose not to watch them hurt themselves any longer. Relish in it all you want, see where it gets you....

Can't live without it!! when the ice is off of course. Don't think you could drag me dead out on the ice. I know. I know, I'm a wuss, LoL!! I'm good with that... I fish constantly (so the wife says). Hold my own in local tourneys, and placed in the BFL before. No big prize money, but did get a check. You meet some really awesome people fishing those league tourneys. Gotta have my days on the water, just wouldn't be me... Edit: Forgot to say what fish, but maybe you know already.. Bass.

Going with Chuck. Doesn't really matter here in this "liberal as hell" town, state, but from this day foward it is going to matter to me...

... and if he wins (and I don't think he will ) things will get much worst if he tries to carry out his "yes" votes. You want the people to rise up??? Try and take the one "tool" that is displayed proudly in the MILLIONS of law abiding homes in this Country.

I know for sure they will under Obama, because in order for his energy plan to work oil must stay above 90 dollars a barrel. He supports carbon caps, and carbon taxes. If they stay under it simply wont work.

You are a trader Sarah whatever your name is. You are forgotten by me, forever. Trader to your Country...

What happened to the days when a mans good word and a handshake were all you needed? (Alabama) Lawyers running our Country to the ground with their ability to rap red tape around our mouthes. Get up people and tell them no more. And mean it!!

Now that is real change...

... Individual Responsibility...

U.S.A. Congratulations, you're U.S.A.! You are very popular and a natural leader. You can be a little cocky sometimes, because you often succeed due to your hard work. You have a great personality, but be careful not to get too bossy! Try to appreciate other people's qualities and see them more as your equals. Here are some tips: Movie: American Pie; Book: The catcher in the rye; Music: Madonna; Bye bye! I must confess, the quiz is pretty much right on, except for the Madonna part. Unless it means I'd say "Bye Bye" to her...
