Sink -- I am in 100% agreement -- he is not going to mention it but the naysayers love to stir the pot on the 2nd amendment rights anyways.

Am sure when the 2nd amendment was written, our forefathers had no idea of the type of weapons that would be available today. Why not buy a tank and keep it your back yard along with grenades, grenade launchers, etc.? Where does it stop?

I am all for Right to Bear Arms but it is ludicrous to put assault weapons in the hands of ordinary American citizens with tempers to match. Personally after witnessing Dean, who some on here have as a poster boy for the 2nd amendment, anywhere near a gun with that temper.

Exactly the type of argument the Brady Campaign would approve of. Completely false as well. Or do you honestly think the Founders would over look the firepower of two ranks of 8 9" cannon on a merchant ship?

Um...thanks mom! Should I send you my AR-15 since you're not "allowing" me to have it? Or should I send it to the real Nanny? Make sure I at least get some milk and cookies from you in return ok? Can I keep the ammo?...Pretty please?
