long article full of names of congress people cozying up to corps. at these events. they usually bar any press.

america is a crime scene

500 pocket stuffing clubs

That should shut up some of the jerks who misinterpret their concern.

Could you see expert Dem marksmen and hunters like Kerry who also support reasonable gun control, outshooting the no gun control idiots who blather on about being manly gunowners?

into congressional pockets is the business of the day

FOR the promotion of reasonable gun control? I say go for it AND take some of the money for your own campaign and keep voting for gun control laws.
