I was actually there, saw the whole thing and there was only 49 peeople, 6 of those were cops, 8 were with C-SPAN, one was selling vegetarian hot dogs, and the rest were speakers. So actually no one really showed up. Whoops I forgot me.

Sounds good to me. Can we start a collection to buy them all tickets to Baghdad? Let them start the march in Nasf.

I saw one of these "patriots" on Hardball. I sent little Miss Chrisy a note regarding his "guest" a Ms. Dees-Thomas (?).
I got home just in time to see your interview with a representative of the Million Mom March. Funny I didnt see you throwing any hardballs. This lady was allowed to propagandize unchecked. She was allowed to reel off one cliché after another. Her understanding of the Second Amendment was nothing short of moronic.
True assault weapons have been regulated for years (an assault weapon is a full automatic weapon- think machine gun). The much vaunted 94 assault weapons ban has had no significant impact on gun crimes since its inception. Criminals and terrorists do not fret over gun laws. Your guest even called assault weapons, Weapons of Mass Destruction. She needs to call the DNC and get her talking points straight.
How many assault weapons were used by the terrorists on 9-11-2001? I could go on about your guest but I think she can best be described as a demagogue that is factually challenged.

"Gun control advocates said it would become easier for militant groups like al Qaeda to launch another attack inside the United States once the assault weapons ban expires." Faulty logic. al Qaeda has no need of the sunset to possess an assault weapon. They've been in-country here long enough to have more than they will ever need or use.
What is logical here is that the gun control advocates appear to be working for al Qaeda, which would dearly love for the ban to be extended, hoping we don't already have ours.

What a pathetically small group of pathetically small-minded people.
To: Mulder
BTW, all this "assault weapons" talk has gotten me really turned on. I think I might have to go out and buy a new Bushmaster 20" flattop AR-15.
No no no, wait until after the AWB expires and buy a 20" Bushie flattop WITH A FLASH SUPPRESSOR AND BAYONET LUG!

Don't we know it. I was listening to the news and good ole Jesse was telling the crowds that Bush would be responsible for more deaths if the ban was not extended. Another screeching witch was yelling that we need a 5 day waiting period on all firearms purchases. What a bunch of loons!

Signs like this make those the must have's on every collectors list.

"Every day that's what our military are using in the war in Iraq -- we need these guns on our streets? Are they crazy up there?" said Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, gesturing toward the Capitol building. These weapons have never been available on the street and they won't be available after the ban expires.
But there might be guns that have a flash suppressor or bayonet lug. We know how dangerous they are.
I just checked my NFA class III gun store and the guns that are being used in Iraq cost about $5k, at least a 6-month waiting period and a background check. I don't think the terrorist will wait that long.
P.S. These weapons are never available at gun shows.

Actually, Carolyn McCarthy represents MY childhood congressional district on Long Island's south shore. Hopefully, James Garner (no NOT Maverick!), the Mayor of Hempstead will topple her in November.

It was 2000 and this was the number that MMM gave. I'm sure it was a lot smaller.
