Guns, Guns, Those Horrible Guns

The LA Times, champion of the anti-gun mob, is again beating the same old tired drum that Republicans, Sen. Frist in particular, are advancing NRA provisions contrary to the wishes of the public. Well, at least the liberal public. The thinking majority in this country do not agree.

The only liability that gun manufacturers and dealers should suffer is if they make and/or sell a mechanically defective product. If a gun is lawfully sold and that person, or some other person, commits a crime with the gun, the liability rests with that person.

Whether or not a gun costs $50 or $500 is not the business of legislators.

The liberals will not rest until they have confiscated and made it unlawful for any citizen to own a gun. That’s just great, because the crooks will then truly have all the guns.

There is an old saying that a liberal will remain a liberal until he is mugged. He will then become a conservative. Isn’t it ironic that a criminal could do a liberal a favor by shooting him? Well, it would only be a favor if the liberal lived long enough to convert to conservative values.
