Someone check and see what flag is flying on the flagpole please.
It seems like the DEM-O-CRAPS are at it once again.

It seems to me that they are using the old smoke and mirror trick, by that I mean, keep harping on the war in Iraq while they are trying to take away your rights and freedoms, the same rights and freedoms that our service personal are fighting for in other countries around the world.

On February 14,2007, Representative Carolyn McCarthy (DEMOCRAT FROM NEW YORK) introduced a bill to reauthorize the Clinton Gun Ban of 1994 which the Republican congress allowed to expire in 2004. This new gun ban would also include some semiautomatic shotguns as well as 22cal rifles. It will also make it a Federal Crime, A Felony with fines and imprisonment of up to 5 years for possession of these banded firearms.

A BIG question is, WHAT ARE THE OTHER PURPOSES that they, the DEM-O-CRAPS, want to ban gun owner ship in America?

Here is a highlight of the bill.
