It is your constituency that shows more often than not that they are the ones without a clue.....perhaps the guns should be taken away from them.

July 10 may be buy a casket day
Would be nice to furnish one for the crook who broke into your home, yes.

Oh,
If too many folks without a clue about how to handle or use a gun follow that advice, July 10 may be buy a casket day.
Does that mean you think it's OK to have a gun if you know how to use it?

TEAMSTERS VS. DEMOCRATS
Shaky relations between the Teamsters and the Democratic Party worsened when the giant union dispatched a June 22 "alert" to members titled: "House Democrats Fail in Attempt to Kill Job Creation Program."

The e-mail accused House Appropriations Committee Democrats of trying "to sneak an amendment that would have killed" President Bush's proposed drilling in the Arctic Natural Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). The Teamsters took credit ("with the help of other unions") in defeating the amendment on a largely party-line vote of 38 to 21.

The union urged members to call and thank three Democrats who crossed party lines "to shun the environmental lobby" and support ANWR: Reps. Allen Boyd of Florida, Bud Cramer of Alabama and Chet Edwards of Texas. All Republicans on the committee opposed the amendment, and the Teamsters asked for calls and letters boosting five GOP members "under heavy pressure from the environmentalists": Reps. Rodney Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, Dan Miller of Florida, David Hobson of Ohio, John Sununu of New Hampshire and John Sweeney of New York.
