Thanks for the link.
So she gave them permission to enter her home at **8 pm** — what on earth possessed her to invite them in for tea and crumpets??? Who would even opens the door at that time... where was her husband? (As an aside, it crossed my mind that vampires cannot enter a home without an invitation, either.)
Link from your link : “Are you too sick to own a gun?” http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/01/21/are-you-too-sick-to-own-a-gun-nbc-news-lays-out-scary-scenarios-in-new-gun-control-push/
Points out that CO needs to step it up in reporting:
The data, through April 2012, shows that in Colorado, more than 11,000 mental health records weren’t reported to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS. The study ranks the fifty states by identifying the five states that have submitted the most mental health records when controlling for population, and then comparing the rest of the country to those standards. In those top five states — Virginia, California, Washington, Michigan and New York — 830 records per 100,000 residents have been submitted. Colorado, the report says, would have to submit 11,192 records to join the top ranking states.
// “Colorado conducted 336,296 gun background checks in 2011 using this very incomplete data according to the study, which notes that 30,885 mental health records have been submitted in the state. Colorado falls somewhere in the middle compared to states across the country and is certainly doing a much better job reporting than the states at the bottom, which in some cases have submitted as few as three records.” //
Comparing them to blood sucking parasites fits ... but I usually think of ticks. ;^)
