Sarah just took time to write me (rub it in) that 15 years ago today, Bill Clinton signed the Brady Bill. And of course she's anticipating some new gun control measures to be signed by the new President.
I take that as a reminder that all of us to need to remain ever vigilant.

Please drop her a note explaining how much we look forward to helping her in her efforts >:(

You know, the only good thing that has ever come out of the Brady bill or any future Obama bill, is that the guns you own now will suddenly become worth more than what you paid for them. But then again, Obama will probably charge capital gains tax on the difference between what you paid for your 'weapon of terrorists and criminals' and what it's worth.

I won't write her for two reasons. The first has to do with teaching a pig to sing. And the second is I like her keeping me appraised of her latest tactics and strategies. I'm afraid if I wrote her with my true feelings she'd quit writing.

That is not the way I want my guns to appreciate, but I get your point.
Actually, such silliness has been proposed. That is counting unrealized income (appreciation of value) in computing Adjusted Gross Income. So you'd pay income tax based on yearly appraisal of your major assets (house). Of course, they wouldn't let probably wouldn't let you count depreciation as a deduction. The IRS, regardless of whose administration, is constantly thinking of new ways to increase their revenues.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Brady shot with a 22 wheel gun?
Maybe we should ban those and leave the EBR alone... they are clearly more dangerous... ::)

Yep, RG Industries .22 snubbie. That fact help jump start the 'Saturday night special' talk.
BTW I have the exact same gun!

Just goes to show - a mouse gun isn't worth anything! It has caused many problems that a real gun would have solved! ;D

I didnt know that..... Oh the irony..... "Lets ban assault weapons becuase I got shot with a .22 snubbie".
If the gun grabbing liberals get their way, a .22 wheel gun may be all that we are able to legally own...... cant get further away from an assault weapon then that....... and Brady would probably approve.
-
Sadly, the .22 is also 'no good'. My local liberal expert on firearms pretty much sums up the enlightened masses view of the 22 long. "It's an assassin's bullet", is what he said. So, NOTHING is suitable for anything but the military or law enforcement. But since he doesn't like either of those organizations or their "fascist" actions, I'm sure he'll push for the Civilian Defense Force.

The "Saturday night special" crap is what they used to get the 68 Gun bill passed. Another glowing succsess for touchy feely crime control.

It's not about crime control. It's about CONTROL. Control of us, control of the information, control of the individual. Crime is just a word used when it is convenient, like safety, or terrorist. Their actions CLEARLY show that crime control is not a major concern for the anti's.

If safety were a concern then Eddy Eagle would be in every school along with fire arm safety courses like they teach Sex ed to keep teen pregnancy down and Drivers ed to keep auto deaths down. If it were about crime they would go after violent criminals and the soft judges who let them out early to go back to their crimes.

EXACTLY my point!

He damn near died anyway!
