GUNS AND POSES DEPT.

            Virtually
all sane sources confirm that President Clinton’s ban on assault weapons
resulted in a drop of approximately 12,000 gun deaths annually in the U.S.  When campaigning for president in 2000,
George Bush said that it’s impossible to think of any good reason to repeal that
ban: the operative word it turns out being “think”.  

           The phrase
"Guns don't kill people; people kill people" is of course, one of those
classic complete sentences which are not complete truths. Because a
shovel can kill a person and so could a pillow, but with all due
respect and condolences to those at Virginia Tech, not 33 in a half
hour. So to Mr. Bush and all those who dont or wont understand what the
lethal combination of ready access to guns and impulsive behavior can
do, again the operative word is think. Just ask the very
Republican James Brady family about Mr. Brady's years since his
encounter with our not so friendly fire culture.

E) We shoot from the flip
F) We’re not always accurate but we’re always certain
G) On what we feel is wrong in this world, we can’t stop people from saying I don’t agree or I don’t care, but we won’t let them say I didn’t know
H) The director’s board has a whim of irony
I) In times of emergency, we should rally around our President: In times of democracy he should do the same for us
