Somewhere, Charlton Heston is uttering the "cold, dead fingers" line.....

How about insuring that we restrict gun access to the sane, and upstanding citizens? Something the NRA seems to fight tooth and nail.

How about insuring that we have a criteria for buying firearms that is at least as restrictive than the criteria for getting a driver's licence?

Those are much more logical things and something I would be willing to support. "Just saying, nobody can have them cause we don't think it's right anybody should" is not the way the country is run.

Sure it is dude. A HUGE part of my lifestyle is illegal "just because" - not one shred of credible, scientific evidence to support it's ban. And what I'm talking about has been credited for 1 death ever, and it was reported from some shitbag activist doctor in the U.K.


if you meant just guns, you're right. There would probably be quite a few ugly standoffs.

I knew I should have been more guarded with that statement...and your right OD.

Drugs are a whole other debate.

In this case, it's bullshit. This is amendment #2 we are talking about, obviously it was a high priority to our nations founders. We can just selectively starting editing them out in particular geographic regions.

Let the fairies ban guns. They'll be crying to Sacramento for more taxpayer money to put cops on the street in a year.

Now, if only that fuckin' earthquake would hit that geologists have been warning us about for years, this would all something to sit around and laugh about while we drink beer in our old age. "Hey, remember back in '05, when the fruits and nuts in Frisco thought they were going to ban guns, and on the eve of the vote, the whole fuckin' thing snapped off and slid out into the ocean? HAW HAW HAW, the Left Coast Lunatics said that Bush used some superweapon reverse-engineered from alien technology, and the fuckin' Baptists swore that God smited them! HAR HAR HAR. Personally, I gotta side with the Baptists on that one." :D

Jeb Bush jokes people of San Francisco may be endangered

(11-12) 21:22 PST TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) --

Gov. Jeb Bush joked during a Florida Cabinet meeting Wednesday that the people of San Francisco may be endangered and, "That's probably good news for the country."

The subject was environmental land and at the time Bush was looking at a map showing locations with a lot of different wildlife.

"It looks like the people of San Francisco are an endangered species, which may not be a bad thing. That's probably good news for the country."

People in the room broke into laughter

"Did I just say that out loud?" the governor asked.

San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown wasn't too worried by the comment, according to spokesman P.J. Johnston.

"When he finally stopped laughing, he said, 'I'm sure this is a tongue-in-cheek comment. I'd feel a little better if the governor would send me one of his alligators; I've got a supervisor that needs companionship,"' Johnston said.

Johnston also said he didn't think residents of San Francisco would be much disturbed by what the governor said.

"By and large San Franciscans have a good sense of humor and will not be dreadfully offended," Johnston said, adding that he wished people in politics would also "lighten up."

But the head of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force didn't see anything funny in the governor's comment and believed it to be anti-gay because of San Francisco's large gay population.

"It's extremely insulting," said Matt Foreman. "But of course I would say that gay people in Florida are far more endangered than gay people in California."

Bush told reporters he was just joking and added another quip: "Don't call Willie Brown."

Bush spokesman Jacob DiPietre later explained the governor's thinking: "The Cabinet was talking about endangered species and everyone knows that Republicans are an endangered species in California."

Bush has been amused by California before. In mid-August, the topic was Gary Coleman, the former child actor who jumped into the California gubernatorial recall race.

"I'm glad that Gary Coleman lives in California," Bush said. "A guy like me that believes in limited government probably would have a tough time against a fellow like that because he probably symbolizes smaller government."

Coleman took the comment in stride.

"I don't know about Jeb Bush," he said. "But if I become governor, I will represent the little guys, the people that big people tend to step on when they want to get somewhere."
