The Halfway of the Gun
From the wires, President Bush has signed a bill aimed at preventing the mentally ill from buying guns.Idle question, how did we not already have this?
I can't really think of an argument here that should keep this one on the table for too long, and very rarely is there a piece of legislation that I can't come up with a single point/counter-point for. This is one that I'm actually a bit pissed off that we don't already have, since it was introduced back in 2002 and just sat there, waiting for a tragedy to spur our heroes in Congress into action.
Were our legislators afraid of the mighty "Mentally Ill" wing of the NRA, and their dedicated voting block? Or their fearsome slogan, "They'll get my gun when they pry it from my sizzling lizardskin handshake woodchuck banners."
Generally speaking, when you meet someone who's wearing a tinfoil hat or talking to squirrels, don't give them a weapon. That simple rule will usually save you a lot of trouble somewhere down the line.

I talk to squirrels, and cows too. Guess there're no guns in my future! Too bad... There's an ex-husband out there...
I never talk to squirrels. They run too fast and simply are vile.
Regardless of this, Karen told me I am not "allowed" to own a gun. She mentioned something about opposable thumbs.
Whatever
