Obama's friends/associates are also anti-gun http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/obama-and-the-attempt-to-destroy-the-second-amendment/

Since Brokaw selected the questions it is no surprise that nothing was asked about gun control, border control or abortion. I got the impression Brokaw thought he should be more important.

Top 10 Tax Sweeteners in the Bailout Bill

So much for avoiding the appearance of impropriety; for which some have been hounded out of office by the media.

If only 10 of those 95 Dems had voted for the bill it would have passed. Having the majority in the House the Dems should be able to pass whatever bill they like.

This happened to me. They checked the driver's license, saw that I had HCP and virtually strip searched the car; and this was before 9/11.

Unfortunately the speaker was a no show as there were 3 opponents to hunting preserves who presented their emotional opinions on why it was bad to shoot "pets". This group is actively attempting to change Tennessee laws to ban hunting preserves no matter how much acreage.

ROFLMAO:D Since when has this group kept it "civil"? LOL

While I agree this was blown way of proportion I believe Obama knew exactly what he was doing when he used that adage, as did the audience. They immediate began laughing. Obama cleverly placed the comment between the statements on McCain's policies. I believe Obama did it hoping for the response he got and had his own response prepared for the media.

http://www.citizentribune.com/news/view_sections.asp?idcategory=9&idarticle=10160 Open range? Commissioners express concern over outdoor shooting ranges By Bobbie Young, Tribune Staff WriterHamblen County commissioners approved strict limits on shooting ranges Monday and may make them even stricter, particularly for outdoor ranges. "I'd like to do away with outdoor ranges completely," said Herbert Harville, chair of the County Commission?s Public Service Committee. The committee voted unanimously to send proposed regulations to the full commission for approval at next week?s meeting. The county currently has no regulations governing commercial shooting ranges and one recently opened in the county, upsetting some neighbors. Some action is necessary and soon, Commissioner Dennis Alvis said. "I'll bet Grainger County wishes they'd done something before this canned hunt thing came up," he said. A property owner in Grainger County has imported exotic animals such as zebra and watusi to be hunted on 60 acres of property. The regulations coming from the County Planning Commission would have allowed outdoor ranges on any property zoned A-1 or agricultural but indoor ranges only in commercial zones. That just didn't make sense, Commissioner Paul LeBel said. "Any commercial business should be in commercial zoning," he said. Under the regulations from the Planning Commission, an outdoor range would have to be located on a minimum of 10 acres and surrounded on all sides by agricultural zoning. The minimum distance from the firing stations to adjacent property lines would have to be 1,000 feet on the front and sides and 500 feet on the rear of the property. An outdoor range could be no closer than a mile from existing schools, churches, nursing homes or childcare facilities. LeBel moved that any outdoor range would also have to be located on property zoned for commercial use. The regulations from the Planning Commission would also have allowed an outdoor range to open at 30 minutes after official sunrise and close 30 minutes before official sunset. "That?s just stupid," LeBel said. "We could have people shooting off guns outside from 6:30 in the morning until 8:30 at night." He moved that operation of outdoor ranges be limited to no earlier than 11 a.m. and no later than 4 p.m. Alvis quickly seconded the motion. LeBel, like Harville, doesn't like the idea of outdoor ranges. He asked County Mayor David Purkey, "As a former law enforcement professional, which is safer? Indoor ranges or outdoor?" "Indoor," Purkey answered. The committee voted to amend the proposed regulations with LeBel?s suggestions, limiting the hours of operation and requiring commercial zoning for all shooting ranges. Commissioners also asked County Attorney Rusty Cantwell to research the issue and let them know if they can outlaw outdoor ranges entirely. The proposed regulations apply only to commercial enterprises and would not affect fundraising activities such as turkey shoots or private hunting. "You can shoot as many rabbits as you want," Harville told one concerned citizen Monday. ********************************************************************** This is the result of Mr. Greene trying to establish a range in Hamblen County.

BEIJING, Aug. 15 (UPI) -- The International Olympic Committee reported its first positive drug test involving a medal winner Friday at the Beijing Games Kim Jong-su of North Korea, who won silver in the men's pistol competition and a bronze in the air pistol, tested positive for propanolol, a betablocker that limits trembling. China's Tan Zongliang was moved up from third to second in the pistol and fourth-place finisher Vladimir Isakov of Russia will receive the bronze in that event. In the air pistol, the bronze medal that had gone to Kim will now go to American Jason Turner. The IOC said three athletes had tested positive among the 2,203 tests to date -- almost half of those tests having been conducted before the Games. http://www.google.com/gwt/n?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.upi.com%2FSports_News%2F2008%2F08%2F15%2FNorth_Korean_medal_winner_tests_positive%2FUPI-59211218806221%2F

Bumping this as it has yet to appear on the calendar.

So it's better he'd infect the U.S. Congress with this type of thinking?

Johnson City Mayor Phil Roe appeared on "Thinking Out Loud" on WJCW AM 910 18 January. During the interview he was asked about this legislation. He stated That he "strongly agreed" with the opponents of this legislation. He went on to say that "alchohol and lead don't mix".

Nor Clinton's EO making us a multilingual nation.

Then why was H.R. 5865 filed in the House of Representatives? "To amend chapter 44 of title 18, United States Code, to require a court adjudication before certain veterans may be denied the right to possess a firearm, and for other purposes."

Voted "sometimes". Always when in public but seldom in/around the house.
