And there's probably nothing wrong with that. It's the consequences of other people owning (and using) guns that bothers the "level-headed" amongst us. The most rabid NRA member doesn't want to arm the Insane Vice Lords or the Nazi Skinheads, but that is exactly what they're doing when they shove the 2nd Amendment down the throats of those who take homeland security seriously. tatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-79085904890570440502014-06-25T10:09:46.803-05:002014-06-25T10:09:46.803-05:00I've never portrayed the NRA as "evil&quo...I've never portrayed the NRA as "evil" -- they are extreme, true. The idea that any restriction of guns--cop killer bullets, large capacity magazines, you name it -- is the first step toward oppression, is extreme. Nor do I find gun owners evil. They're dealing with a frightening, dangerous world in a way -- one of life's cruel ironies -- that makes it more frightening and more dangerous.

I agree with some of the NRA stances and disagree with others. Even without the NRA the responsible firearm owner would not just sit there and let congress roll over us. The NRA is a nice little icon of gun ownership and is a convenient target for the anti gunners but they are not as evil as they are portrayed to be.

As for Neil leaving, he's stuck by the Sun-Times even when Jerry Springer broke up Ron and Carol and Neil is championing green, sustainable bicycle riding. No matter what, Neil will be write. That living document says "militia", can I see your "well-regulated" draft card, And if you must, it's Dr. Phil, to you. And Neil went all the way to Underwater Labs to get a shot of a bed in flames; don't even think about reading into that photo. Don't you dare.

Not many care enough to mock a state that puts an Indy car on its quarter.<br />I like the musical "Hair" where LBJ took the IRT down to 4th Street USA...DHS wouldn't work in that song. Besides, Phillip, what's Neil suppose to do, just pack a duffle bag, board a plane, and head out for a new life? You've never been in Chicago, the man lives to ride his Divvy in the rain. He carries WD-40 and a notebook in his handlebar basket.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-76073329750422444932014-06-25T00:59:30.810-05:002014-06-25T00:59:30.810-05:00Genius Neil.

I was just telling my wife that now that the Blago and Patti Cake Toll-way signs are down, we need to tear down the Department of Homeland Security signage. My thoughts exactly.<br />On a non-sequitar, did any person win the "What IS it?" photo contest? My wife thinks it's a statue in your basement, assuming its not flooded with all this rain! Needless, the paperboy is still working, now if I could just figure out who prayed for all this biblical weather! My prayers have (not) been answered.
