The problem is a parole system that allows violent felons back out on the street. I sometimes believe this is done to make the streets more dangerous than they would be otherwise, so the sheeple will cry, "Its so dangerous out there! Please Mr. Big Government, do something!!"

Our justice system is a mess because it is more concerned with LAW than it is with justice. Fix that and a lot of things would be better.

Allowing us to protect ourselves from predators would do the rest.

80 million gun owners broke no laws yesterday. Vanishingly few will break any law of any type today. Why punish them or treat them like criminals?

Ah, but they ARE guilty of a crime - that of being able to challenge the authority of our Superiors, the All-Knowing plutocrats that we all serve. /retch

A multitude of problems are caused by government, which then offers a (non-) solution to them, which in turn creates more problems, etc., etc. All along the way, we are relieved of the burden of carrying around so much money and of our rights.

It IS a plan, just not a coordinated one - the pols of the various factions each have their own agendas, as do the bureaucraps.

I think that shooters are gravitating back to Bush, since it looks like the AWB will be allowed to sunset. But if the RINOs do a midnight backstab, all bets are off.

BTW, what's a "four-flusher???"

Alternate definition:

Four-Flusher ( poker )

A cheater. Probably comes from one who tries to bluff when holding only a four-flush, or who cheats by showing four cards to a flush and tries to claim the pot without showing the fifth

four-flusher -

I thought that described the government mandated toilets we are forced to buy.

Once your punishment is done, you should get your Rights back.

And until relatively recently, you did. (YMMV depending on your state) Released prisoners could walk to the nearest general store and buy a sidearm, a rifle, or whatever they felt they needed.

This thoughtful article covers well all of the important points, but what does the author have against Prussians?

I also assumed that a "four flusher" had to do with a large clump that just wouldn't go down.

Anyone know what the NRA has in mind this election? It delivered TN and WV to Bush last time. Where are they now?
I will talk to a friend of mine who is a former Board Member and see if I can find out anything.
