A "chill wind" blows through the land, Mr. Klinkenborg.

Verlyn Klink-en-borg

This gal is aptly named. She perfectly represents a cross between Hogans's Heroes idiot Colonel Klink and Star Trek's "Resistance Is Futile" Borg.

Possibly they are one and the same. Never know these days.

The way I see it, Minnesota is only one step away from requiring every citizen to carry a gun and use it when provoked.

I could love this state.

WHAT! No BARF Alert?

With a title like that in the Terrorist Tip Sheet? Does mommy still hold your hand when you cross the street?

Great post; nice to know what the Moonbats think.

There's at least two other reasons to read the Terrorist Tip Sheet, especially when it's still at no charge. Their stories can still be first excellent, in particular, their health & science articles if they avoid politics. Their OpEd Contributors can also be excellent. Check the author that's linked in comment# 43. It's John R. Lott Jr.

Who determines "if applied only to stable noncriminals"? Is post partum depression a reason to be denied the right? Should someone that is convicted of failing to pay a parking ticket loose the right? Someone that gets busted for stealing candy?

I'm sorry. Maybe you should purge yourself to be on the safe side for this too.

It successfully lobbied for laws that give citizens the ability to carry firearms in 23 states in the past 12 years, including Kansas and Nebraska this year. It has also legislated the right of gun owners to stand firm and use deadly force in the case of a dangerous attack in 15 states, 14 of them this year. In addition, this year it got 10 states to agree not to confiscate weapons during times of declared emergencies.

Not bad.
