"What Should The Government Do To Limit The Availability Of Firearms." Over 2 to 1 say NOTHING. And it's set up so you can't hit it twice.

Gun deaths and injuries have dropped sharply in California, even as the number of guns sold in the state has risen, according to new state data.

Dealers sold 600,000 guns in California last year, up from 350,000 in 2002, according to records of sale tallied by the California Attorney General's office.

During that same period, the number of California hospitalizations due to gun injuries declined from about 4,000 annually to 2,900, a roughly 25 percent drop, according to hospital records collected by the California Department of Public Health.

Nothing leads at 45.9%, but they will twist that to 53.1% want stricter regulation  >:(

What worries me the most is the number of people that want to amend the 2A.

Yes it's bothersome but the most difficult to accomplish.

Much easier to restrict what you can buy and even Justice Scalia has mentioned that reasonable restrictions on firearms would still leave the 2nd Amendment in tact.  It says you have a right to keep and bear arms but nothing about the types of arms allowed.

Sucks but that's the most conservative Justice on the bench at the moment!

What part of "Shall not be infringed is so hard for these azzholes to understand ?
We've tried explaining it, do we have to show them ?

Preaching to the choir Tom! 

This is the final confrontation because if Scalia believes as he says he does, it's not as if it will be overturned when and if someone takes it to the SCOTUS!  He's probably the most prominent scholar when it comes to the Constitution.

Feinsteins bill will have a hard time but the states can do as they will, especially up here in the great blue north...

Enuf and I've been relearning all of the good knots lately!  Amazing what you forget when you haven't cinched down a load or tied off a line in years...  It comes back fairly quickly though!

Don't care if it's proper, as long as it works.
A simple slip knot will get the job done ..... eventually.

Watched an old video of the hanging of Amon Goeth, the butcher of Plaszow!  They hanged him three or four times before they got it right.  Couldn't have been a more fitting end to that guy...

By the third time he was probably ready to tie the damn knot himself.

Standard hangman noose from what I could tell.  It was a pretty bad video and it's gone now from youtube.  He appeared to smile towards the end!
