Soft Cash Changes Hands Between Crossroads GPS and the NRA


http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2012...tween-cro.html

Anyone surprised? Just imagine how hard it will be to enact any meaningful change to gun laws with all of this blood money flowing back and forth.

It's late and I'm tired, g'night all.

Oh right, remember tha last time the militia ran up against regular army? They got the chit kicked out of them. Never quite figured out why they are celebrating the war of 1812.

For all those people that like using a Bushmaster for target practice is there really a need for hollow-point rounds that are only designed to tear up flesh? Or teflon coated armour piercing rounds in other calibres?

That is entirely too responsible for the USA.

Scary, no rights to not own a gun, forced prayer and bible study in schools whether or not it follows your religion. What a country!

There's a petition at Whitehouse.gov... well, there are a number of them... calling for legislative action on effective gun control legislation.

From the article:

Jones said one motivation for the council passing the ordinance had to do with publicity.

"It was done in response to a law passed by Morton Grove, Ill., outlawing gun ownership within the city limits," he said. "Several council members were upset Morton Grove had gotten a lot of attention with their ordinance so they decided to top them.

"They figured the gun ownership ordinance would knock that city right off the front pages. They were right."

Jones said the ensuing publicity surrounding the law has given Kennesaw worldwide name recognition.

"I have been to Australia and Europe and when I tell people I am from Kennesaw they recognize the name as the place that requires everyone to own a gun," he said.


And then there's this:

The law contains no clause addressing punishment for violating the law. If convicted, City Clerk Diane Coker said punishment would be determined by the general penalty clause of the Kennesaw Code Ordinance - probably a fine of about $100.

So, there's no enforcement and, therefore, no way to measure the level of compliance.

The insurgents in Iraq and the Afghanistan Taliban seem to make it difficult for invaders using small arms. Our own special forces primarily use small arms. Warfare is no longer about carpet bombing your enemy into submission—we've become much more civilized than that.
