wonder of wonders, John Stossel switched sides... maybe there is hope after all.
Attitude: it takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile...and 3 for proper trigger squeeze.
The olive branch is considered a symbol of peace, and good will. Last time I checked, it's still a switch.

The asertion made that "guns kill 30,000 Americans a year" is total bunk ( to put it politely). A gun has never killed anyone. People (criminals) kill people. Lets put the blame where the blame belongs. We hear the same old lame quotes all the time and it is time to correct them.
As far as John seeing the light and changing sides - we'll have to take some time to see if the tiger really has changed his stripes.

Good article. I am really done with the NRA over this last move.

Wow, I love the last line on that U.N. shirt, lol.

same here. i wrote them and asked what the hell they were doing and they basically responded that they don't give a flying f*** what happens to this country as long as THEY are allowed to push this ONE issue.Originally Posted by pbbad
i can see why they rather stick to their guns, pun intended, rather than risk becoming some right wing version of ACLU but it just looked so incredibly bad when they first opposed 1st amendment right violations and then did a 180 once the violation got an exception that explicitly excluded the NRA.

Man that just reminded me of the last catalog or flier from Sportsmans Guide.
If you want a hoot. Who in the heck would think wearing a blue UN beret would be "cool"!?
New Nato Military Beret, Light Blue, Military Surplus, Brand Not Specified at Sportsman's Guide
They have surplus uniforms and other stuff that I can't imagine any use for, and their ads pitch them as cool or something.

I have heard that, but I'll wait and see if he really is a convert. Wynn, I think those shirts need to be uniforms for this place. Of course RY ABC is supposedly the most liberal of the media right now (newsmax.com reports that anyway).
