you tube has a video where a woman assemblyman from NY is seeking to ban HEAT SEEKING BULLETS! If used in hunting it would kill and cook the deer for you! (what? when did they come on the market?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNDNQWslCt8
Another video discusses a legilator who admits she has no clue what a barrel shroud is even though it is HER BILL!

NONE of this matters because
THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE
the medium is dead children. not substance.
THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE
McCluhan got it right, didn’t he? Yes this is all abot appearance, posturing, and emotion. The congress is, mostly, ignorant of all but how to get and keep power and money. Little details like what is a heat-seeking barrel shroud and why it harms children are indeed irrelevant.
