And of course all the universities down here have blanket firearms bans, so that anybody who wants to shoot up the school is guaranteed not to have any armed opposition.

But hey, at least AFROTC at UM has a $75,000 flight simulator room with a general aviation-style setup designed after the Cessna 172 and a HOTAS setup running Falcon 4.0.

Nothing is beyond the stupidity of politicians . . . and the American public that consistently re-elects the slime.

Curious to me, Major, that nowhere in that article is the NRA's contribution to any of the 18-state pigeonholing of the bill mentioned.

Did the NRA actually HAVE a role in dumping this bill, or was it just recognized for what it was, a pie-in-the-sky pile of crapola?

Oooooooh! Ooooooooh! I am!

Ummmmm -- what was the question, again?

Boq - yes, indeed.  You could, I suppose,  serialize the wad of the 00 Buck, in addition to the cartridge case.

If this ever passes, look to see development and sales of cartridge catchers go up.

Heh.  Criminals will quickly figure out to go to shooting ranges and police up brass to scatter at crime scenes.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/02/the_ammunition.html#comment-84562 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/02/the_ammunition.html#comment-84562 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 10:05:07 -0600
That plus the Million Dollar Liability Insurance that gun owners would have to purchase, would make this, a VERY expensive hobby.

Oh - I forgot, that's the whole point of this exercise, isn't it?
