Sorry Bodhi; You won't find any communist or even socialist from this family but if you like the idea then keep it and have fun with it

Actually Airhead, I have no issue w/ gay marriage other than I do not think a gay couple should be allowed to adopt.

Increased penalties for gun crime, Lazs...that's about it. Penalties for participating in the "underground" gun trade maybe...Personally I have no problem with a waiting period. I don't know how many felons it's prevented from buying guns, but if it's prevented any at all, then why not? Other than that my feeling on firearms is that I benefit by being allowed to posess firearms whether I actually own any or not. Your ownership of firearms acts as a deterrant to home invaders and burgulars, and the chance of your firearm being used against me is astronomical.

I agree on the penalties but don't consider them a gun restriction... I have a problem with regestration as I don't really see how it prevents anything... sorta like the failed ammo regestration scheme a few decades back.... I am also not comfortable having government know exactly what tools I own to keep them in line and where to pick them up if they decide to.

Waiting periods? not a big deal unless you need a gun right away... there are several cases of women being killed while waiting for their firearm by husbands or boyfriends who have threatened them and had restraining orders filed against them. If a waiting period causes the death of even one person it's a bad idea.

instant background checks? no problem. depending of course on what you are checking for.

probly tho... I could live with your restrictions if they weren't abused. I don't trust governmment to not abuse restrictions tho.

Quicker Goverment response is something I'd like to see too- it took 120 days to get a DofJ security clearance recently. But to have a quicker beaucratic response might require more beaucrats...

I'm just not convinced that my friend Airhead is off the charts to the left like the heretofore mentioned whackos.

Well, I hate to jump into this one but I just cant resist.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(CBS/AP) President Bush signed legislation on Friday raising the government's debt limit by $800 billion and clearing the way for Congress to send him an overdue $388 billion spending bill to finance most federal agencies.

The new federal borrowing cap is $8.18 trillion; that's 70 percent the size of the entire U.S. economy, and more than $2.4 trillion higher than the debt Mr. Bush inherited upon taking office in 2001.

The House approved the debt-limit measure Thursday by a near party line 208-204 vote. Its passage was not in doubt because the alternative was a jarring federal default, but it was nonetheless a battlefield for partisan fingerpointing.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steve, who is going to pay for this?

Staga · « **Reply #104 on:** December 11, 2004, 12:52:50 PM »

What do you mean who's going to pay? Government of course, are you saying individual Americans should pay that debt?
