Gun laws are completely insane.
I agree, restricting law-abiding citizens from having the same means of protection as the police is indeed bordering on the criminally insane. Never mind that all the restrictions don't bother the criminals one bit.

You really think all the cash in off shore tax havens was earned overseas??? LOL
Either it was earned overseas, or it was earned here and taxed before moving it, or it was earned illegally, in which case it's not likely to be reported for tax purposes. We're VERY good at tracking the movements of any large sums. But don't let that get in the way of your mindless envy and hatred of anyone with more than you.

Are we still posting about 1800 people in a country of 311,000,000?

0.00058%?

700% more of almost nothing is still ALMOST NOTHING!

We also have several threads about Martin, Zimmerman. and Ted Nugent - three individuals. Not everything has to be about a statistically significant portion of the population. Some things can be just about what pisses me off.

But those threads outline what can effect many more people.

Saying a law allows you to shoot another because you "feel" you are being threatened is a hell of a lot different than 1800 people saying "I am moving to Morocco".
