"Despite a ban on handguns introduced in 1997 after 16 children and their teacher were shot dead in the Dunblane massacre the previous year, their use in crimes has almost doubled to reach 4,671 in 2005-06. Official figures show that although Britain has some of the toughest anti-gun laws in the world, firearm use in crime has risen steadily."
It is Bush's fault.

Just another example of how the left uses passion instead of facts to make laws. Same thing with global warming, animal rights, and taxes.
Haven't we said that criminals will get guns, even if they are banned? Besides, economics are in play here - if there is a market (guns) someone will be selling. If people want to stop crime, they should take a hard look at how criminals are handled, a very hard look.
I guess we'd better hurry and vote Hillary in so she can institute the one world village and we can all sing Kumbaya instead of kill each other. That makes me feel so warm inside. What do you think a 53 would look like tie dyed with flowers?
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly"

"If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, one of the most powerful instruments of our rising prosperity, it must be known, that we are at all times ready for War."

Hey Sas; you are so right. The Brady Bunches of the world are usually nice, good people who want to make the world a better place. Most of them aren't evil, most of them are just stupid.

[/b][/quote] A friend of ours said Mt Washington in New Hampshire already has snow on it so much for global warming.Sen Feinstein responded to my email that she really believes there is global warming and we all must do something to stop it,I told her her party can't do a thing about it the earth has been warming & cooling long before mankind was here.
That ain't shocking.....that's what I would expect to happen (I think most everyone here agrees on that, well I can think of a few that would still argue otherwise). You're preachin' to the choir.
