And if it turns out that sodom insane does indeed have all those weapons of MD that Prez. Bush says he has what will you say then. Will you then say way to go George thank God you were President. Would you then admit you were wrong and try to think a bit more clearly in the future or have you passed the point of no return.

Notice how democrats use tragedy for political gain. Lawmakers Urge FTC to Probe Sniper Weapon Sales Thu Oct 10, 3:50 PM ET WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Several Democratic lawmakers on Thursday urged the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the marketing of military sniper rifles to civilians, noting that such a weapon may be involved in the recent Washington area shootings. Lawmakers Urge FTC to Probe Sniper Weapon Sales Thu Oct 10, 3:50 PM ET Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, the top Democrat on the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee (news - web sites), and three fellow House Democrats wrote in a letter to the FTC that sniper weapons are different from standard hunting rifles because they are designed to strike a target from a distance. "Their accuracy and range capabilities make these weapons among the most dangerous available today," the lawmakers said. "They can hit targets accurately one mile away and can inflict damage to targets up to four miles away." Conyers noted that the FTC did a study of entertainment industry marketing practices and violence after the Columbine school shootings in 1999. Gun control advocates gained momentum in Congress immediately after several publicized shootings in U.S. schools but foes of new controls were able to defeat the initiatives. story.news.yahoo.com
