I sympathize with your feelings, PB, but maybe this can be the start of something. F'r instance, what if the cigarette makers decide to stop selling their stuff in America, and also stop buying home-grown tobacco. Gun makers do the same, followed by alcoholic beverage producers. How long would it be before Congress was begging them to resume business? They'd lose so much tax money that we'd have rocketing deficits again, and all those poor cozy congresspeople might have to start looking for a job.

Just the threat of such a widespread action would make the Air Traffic Controller strike look like a teaparty.

Sadly, I seriously doubt such a thing could happen, but I'd sure like to see the Trial Lawyers Ass'n get this stuffed up their fat sassy a**es. Congress too, for letting it get to these extremes.

I'm angry, but not at Colt.

My wife and I were discussing the Colt decision to market smart guns and she asked me how they would work and I just replied that they would use some technology to make the gun recognize the owner and operate. She said, would it work for me also? I didn't know if it would have multiple user options. Anyone know if this is possible?
