Wig... "And, I think you summed up my arguement. ;-))" <---- I did not sum up your argument! I disagreed!! well I meant to! ;-)) LOL
I think the ACLU article Voodooman posted sounds like a sensible position
http://www.aclu.org/library/aaguns.html But I read it to say the ACLU thinks that some controls on gun ownership are fine and not in breach of the US constitution.. this is the line I think blows a big hole in any argument that the constitution protects every redneck's right to bear arms..
"Most opponents of gun control concede that the Second Amendment certainly does not guarantee an individual's right to own bazookas, missiles or nuclear warheads. Yet these, like rifles, pistols and even submachine guns, are arms."
I am looking forward to spending a couple of months up there this year... I hope every town is just like Ulfie's and no bastard caps me for being a loud mouth Aussie. :)~
Maybe I will understand better how everyone packing a weapon makes the community feel safer when I get there... I look around here and would be scared witless at the thought of everyone in my local pub having a concealed handgun on them.. I couldn't see a week passing without some drunk or jilted lover shooting a person!

jr, i've had a stack of those lately ... everything from 'help, my diplomat husband just died and i need a place to put my millions' to the one you posted below ..
what's that scam called where money is supposedly covered in ink and can't be cleaned without special special chemical or something? its a 'black money scam' or something ... this seems very similar ...

That is one of the oldest scams, it even predates the internet. They used to fax hat around, usually from some guy in Africa trying to free Afican money.
I really cannot believe i just got this spam. I wonder how much time it will be before he is arrested?

CJ hit me up on ICQ, I want some of that money. Lets make a $$deal$$!
I really like this part of it.
"The national ACLU is neutral on the issue of gun control. We believe that the Constitution contains no barriers to reasonable regulations of gun ownership. If we can license and register cars, we can license and register guns."
I couldnt have said it better myself.

In the little hamlet that I live in just about everyone I know owns a gun. At the same time I don't know anyone who has ever shot (or shot at) a human being. Plenty of tasty animals, however, haven't been as fortunate. ;)

Sorry for the long post, but maybe the gun grabbers will read this...
No Issue ? May Issue ? Shall Issue
A reminder about guns and your right to carry a concealed weapon. This is something the anti-gun movement just doesn't want you to know. It's about the correlation between crime rates and the availability of concealed weapons permits
Basically, there are three types of states in the US. No-issue states, may-issue states and shall-issue states. Here's the difference:
No-issue states.. These states just will not allow private citizens to carry concealed weapons for self-defense ? that is, unless you're a big celebrity or a politician.
May-issue states. These states have provisions in the law for the issuance of a concealed weapons permit IF you meet the qualifications and IF the local law enforcement agencies and politicians want to issue the permit to you.
Shall-issue states. In these states the local authorities MUST issue you a concealed weapons permit if you meet the requirements.
Now ? about the crime rates. Across the country you will see uniformity in these numbers. Looking at violent crimes, the rate of violent crime is the greatest in no-issue states and the lowest in shall-issue states.
What's more, when a state liberalizes its laws and moves from no issue to may issue, or from may issue to shall issue, the crime rates go down.
Criminals don't want their victims to be armed. Oddly enough, neither do many governments.

Just heard an interview on Sydney radio with the director of the Australian office of crime statistics.... Here is a statistic I bet the NRA would love...
Over the last 10 years... as Australia has brought in more and more restrictive gun laws... the homicide rate has not changed... there has been a lot less murders committed with guns but the knife murders have filled the hole.
The number of accidental deaths by gunshot is almost nil now which has to be good.. but, as a person who has supported gun control I have to say I am surprised and dissapointed to find that making it harder to murder each other (by removing easy access to guns) has not changed the number of murders... I guess there must be a some more truth in the statement "guns dont kill people.. people kill people" than I ever believed before.... I REALLY dont want C Heston to be right LOL

Well I quit in like October but messed up after about 2 months. So here I am again... it's been 6 weeks I believe and this time is a little different because I recongnize the physical pain and how long it last when I switch to a lower patch. I've messed up a few times but I'm forgiving myself when I do. I just pretend it didn't happen and I know that having one doesn't mean I need a whole pack. It seems to be a bit easier this time with that in mind.

I always wondered if anybody out there was watching these contests that appear in every pop up console, WIN $1,000,000!! I don't think 2% of these contests ever give out a dime, scam to collect email addresses and get traffic.
The Federal Trade Commission announced Tuesday that is has created a nationwide task force that has already brought 63 law enforcement actions against Web-based scams ranging from auction frauds to bogus cancer-curing sites.
