I would much rather the government respect me and my rights. Frankly there is to damn much fear abroad in this country.

So the Texas SYGer lost his bet, the jury sent him up.

Given that it was Texas he is just lucky he did not get the death sentence as it was premeditated.

I would like to see these ALEC proponents be pro active in the prosecution of the ones who misuse and abuse their progun platform. I don't agree with the extreme view that all of the guns need to be taken away to protct the country.
I do believe that all of 'em need to registered and traceable somehow. In addition gun safety and a thourough understanding of the laws need to be pounded into the head of anyone buying a gun. CCW permits should only be granted in very few circumstances if at all.
That doesn't sound unreasonable to me. Thoughts? Try to leave the tin foil hats in their boxes.
