isn’t george romero working on a documentary on lautenberg? i believe it’s called ‘legislator of the dead’ there’s a controversial scene in which lautenberg eats the flesh of one of his congressional assistants.

Those darn constitutional loopholes are always a problem for politicians that want to rule over us.

Anecdotally a number (of the guns used in Mexico drug violence) have been purchased at (U.S.) gun shows

Ok what is that number? Put up or shut up.

Good point...I have to have a federal check on me to exercise a Constitutional right yet he can be President without one.

These states do not require personal gun sellers, who are authorized to hawk their own firearms at gun shows, to conduct a background check on buyers of the guns. This allows people with criminal histories to easily obtain weapons like those used in the Columbine killings, according to lawmakers.

O.K., exactly how many killings have been traced back to weapons bought from private owners at gun shows?
