I really like Condi.

[T Wayne]

Picking at nits........Canada Geese!!

[Squantos]

So far so good......

Had those guns been registered, she argues, Bull Connor would have had a legal right to take them away, thereby removing one of the black community’s only means of defense.

Condi, we need to have a talk about rights and powers. People have rights and governments have powers. In GOOD governments, like the one our founding fathers established, the government has only those powers which the people give it and under our Constitution, they knew that bad people would sometimes come to power. So they put in the Second Amendment to guarantee that the people would have the means to resist them.

Bull Conner NEVER, EVER had the right or even legitimate power to take your daddy's gun simply to ensure he would be unarmed.

"Wow. I'm in love."

Git back, Jack!

I've already sent her my picture and asked her to marry me!

(Well, it was actually a picture of The Rock, but maybe she won't know...)

[risk]

Impressive. Her story of neighborhood self-defense against "night riders" reminds me of the Battle of Athens.

[ORECON]

Guns, the ultimate in feminine protection!

[TexasCowboy]

I've read everything I can find about Condi (which ain't a helluva lot!), and I've found nothing I don't like.
If possible, she's a bigger hawk about this war than I am, and she's got bigger cajones than anybody in Congress.

[Atlas Sneezed]

She knows the 2nd ain't about goose hunting.

[taxcontrol]

You go girl - keep your calender clear for 2008 ok?

[MichiganMan]

Go on, tell me again why she's not qualified to be nominated for VP and POTUS. C'mon, tell me again how it would only be a "gimmick".

[scory]

One more point in her favor. She has experience of the practical application of the Second Amendment (which I think few white politicians have ever had). Good for her and thank you to the father who had the courage to exercise the right in the face of real government persecution.

[treeclimber]

And this, gentle reader, is why the Second Amendment -- "contrary to what the Democrats claim -- is NOT about hunting.

Gun control isn't about guns. It's about control."


or as some say, "Politicians prefer unarmed peasants."

[GaltMeister]

I bet she even knows where she can get her a huntin license too.

[TexasCowboy]

Very good, risk.

Every American should read that story to understand WHY we have the Second Amendment.

[NYURepublican]

I really respect Doctor Rice. She is so intelligent! Why dont more black people like her!??!? Principal i guess. Shes a Repub so shes the enemy. To me that would show that the best and brightest go to that team not stay on the team that keeps us down...

[Seaplaner]

"With the bombings came marauding groups of armed white vigilantes called 'nightriders,' who drove through black neighborhoods shooting and starting fires. [Condi's father] John Rice and his neighbors guarded the streets at night with shotguns.

My view is that Condi's childhood ordeals only made her stronger! I admire and respect that about her. As Secretary of State, her internal strengh will serve her (and us) well.

Gun control: a tight cluster at 800 feet 3 seconds from the command to draw.

Drawing a handgun and firing at a target that's more than 230 years away? Friend, a handgun's for close personal defense, and for fighting your way back to cover and your rifle!

But in general, I agree with the concept, and I've got an M-14 that I can open fire with at 300 yards! lol

Actually, your post made me remember something from my youth. I used to go out to the 300 yard range with my .44 magnum Redhawk, and I'd shoot at a manhole cover that was suspended from between two posts. IIRC, even with a 180gr jhp load, moving at around 1800fps, I still needed to hold more than 10 feet over the top of the target!

Wow! That is a very good read! I didn't know that she (Rice) supported gun rights. My respect for her has gone up! Good for her!
