I'm ashamed! Here in Arizona, most emphasis has been on students' RIGHT to carry concealed weapons on campus, and the need for students to protect themselves. The local news was practically advocating the use of stun guns. Glad to see the consciousness is a bit different in Va

Crist just signed that bring your gun to work law. Where did you get those pictures? I would like to post them on a Florida website where they all seem to be in favor of just about everybody carrying a gun.

Between this and that ultrasound bill for all abortions, I wish this state sink into the ocean. Just give me enough time to get out.

I watched the Brady Campaign lie-in at downtown Dallas today, and the local Brady rep was hinting that someone wanted a concealed carry bill that covered grades K-12. Did I just stumble into a parallel universe, or is this Brady spokesperson totally full of shit?
