Ill take Dems seriously on gun control when they have to hang for the same crimes we do.
He should lose his job ,have a criminal record and be barred from public service
Meaningful action to me means a buttery smooth, bolt action .338 Lapua.
.338 Lapua?
Yes, fine caliber.
Or a smooth old model 71 Winchester .348
Sure complements my old model 94 Winchester.
Not shabby for an old beast.
It was about 20 years ago now, so that a lot of younger FReepers won't recall it, but black liberal journalist and columnist and talking-head show regular Carl Rowan was involved in a shooting in his back yard. He shot a would-be burglar or prowler in the ass with a borrowed pistol.
The triple-bind was, a) Rowan was a big grabber and noisy about gun control, b) his house was in D.C., where you basically can't own a pistol, or if you do you can barely clean it without breaking their laws, pre-Heller vs. DC, and c) the gun wasn't even his, but was licensed to a relative who shouldn't have lent it to Rowan.
Guess we were supposed to understand the distinction that applies to journalists and Real Big People.
