Hi all,

So this Million Mom March is getting quite a bit of press.

2 points on MMM.

- it's so political it's not funny. Organised by the sister in law of Susan
Thomases? Like that's grass roots. Please.

- If they really wanted to do something about gun violence, more gun
control laws aren't what is needed. Take a page from MADD (which didn't ask for
the banning of cars, or of alcohol), will you, you worthless political
hacks.... MADD worked to go after the root of the problem, irresponsible people
who were more interested in having a good time than in caring about the
innocents they mowed down with their deadly weapons, er, I mean cars.

and one in general:

- no way are you the most radical pro second amendment guy here, sorry. I draw
the line at tactical nukes. Anything a modern army can have that can be carried
by one person is fair game for private ownership. THAT'S the intent of the
second amendment. Thomas Jefferson told me so last nite.

Hi all, So this Million Mom March is getting quite a bit of press. I was listening to Diane Rehm again today and she had several organizers as guests for the second half of the show. I should've called in, but I was busy sanding lumber that will (...) (25 years ago, 12-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
