Sunday, July 13th, 2008

Thanks Scalia. This is what happens when gun nuts are allowed out. The FACT is, this kind of thing happens everyday in America. What does NOT happen everyday is that someone’s life is saved as the result of individual hand gun ownership (Alan Korwin thinks it happens at least 547 times per [...]
