OK, now this is getting silly. I agree that the firearm being on your property "should be enough" to protect you, but at present it is NOT. The amendment in this bill will protect you from litigation more than at present.

If you have evidence to the contrary cite it.

"When are these chowder-heads going to figure out that terrorist buy guns from illegal arms dealers."

They know that, they just don't say it because that would make it harder for them to get our guns. They can't safely take over the country without first eliminating the posibility of an uprising.

Senator Byrd is on right now.

I am watching him on streaming video on my PC with "Dixie" softly playing in the background.

The guy reminds me of Foghorn Leghorn!

He wasn't referring to the 2nd, he was talking about the amendments he was putting forth.

Your absolutely right. That's what is most frustrating about it. It's not about keeping people safe. It's not about taking guns out of the hands of criminals. It's about their own personal power. These guys are hell bent replacing "We the people" with "You the subjects".

Oh sorry, I didn't read that far into your post.

Senator Byrd is on right now.

For the cubicle-bound, the Senator is wearing a tan single breasted suit coat, white shirt, solid maroon colored tie, and a really bright leopardskin patterned vest. Maybe it's real leopardskin.

I'm no whiz at Senate procedures, but I wish someone would tell me why extension for my unemployment benefits was tacked on this bill, 1805??????????

(S.1805 To extend and expand the Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation Act of 2002, and for other purposes.)

Because they can, that is why. There is no rule or law keeping them from adding amendments that have nothing to do with the original bill. There should be, but there isn't.

Let them have it. It will take away the issue and provides bargening space for constitiutional legislators.

That amendment to the bill has already been defeated.

Or I should have said, why is this other stuff tacked on the original bill. But I know the answer. Sad.
