First of all, a lot more people die in motor vehicles than from guns. So, how come no ban on owning automobiles and trucks?

The press never covers stories about law abiding citizens, who are armed, saving lives by virtue of carrying a weapon legally. This happens every day.

The left’s argument about banning handguns makes as much sense as disbanding police departments to reduce crime; or disbanding fire departments to reduce the occurrence of fires.

Secondly, The Supreme Court situation may not be as dreadful as we think. Two justices, Suter and Ginsburg are making noises about retiring. If Obama wins the White House, he would replace those two liberals with liberals. The result: no change.

However, one never knows what will happen to the Supremes. One might die in office, or become mentally impaired(stroke), or a conservative one might resign unexpectedly.

Lots of permutations.

Millions have died due to the stupidity of Democrats and Socialists alike. Maybe we should ban their existence!

This would be great news. Where did you hear this?

Pelican Brief stuff. Possible, though.

Might become mentally impaired?

Cordially,
