Have you ever pulled up along someone with their head down texting while driving? It's gets kind of dangerous when you wail on your horn.
A young lady in the lane next to me drove across town and only occassionally glanced at the road while drifting into my lane 4 or 5 times. She sat at each stop light long after it changed to green. She never reacted when I honked my horn. Maybe it was because the bass woofer was rocking the car?
I bet she thought that nobody could get hurt texting & driving in town.
Well the media is at it right along with Feinstein. Showed a clip of someone firing an obvious automatic weapon and she is saying. This is legal.
The new gun control of NY: Provisions in the sweeping gun control bill include:
Further restrict assault weapons to define them by a single feature, such as a pistol grip. Current law requires two features. Make the unsafe storage of assault weapons a misdemeanor. Mandate a police registry of assault weapons. Establish a state registry for all private sales, with a background check done through a licensed dealer for a fee, excluding sales to immediate relatives. Require a therapist who believes a mental health patient made a credible threat to use a gun illegally to report the threat to a mental health director who would then have to report serious threats to the state Department of Criminal Justice Services. A patient’s gun could be taken from him or her. Ban the Internet sale of assault weapons. Require stores that sell ammunition to register with the state, run background checks on buyers of bullets and keep an electronic database of bullet sales. Restrict ammunition magazines to seven bullets, from the current national standard of 10. Current owners of higher-capacity magazines would have a year to sell them out of state. Someone caught with eight or more bullets in a magazine could face a misdemeanor charge.
There's more at the link. A couple of these things stand out though. A database of bullet sales?
Even though Chicago has strict gun control laws, I have a feeling they are going to get tougher. And not just tougher in Chicago.
Mayor Bloomberg of NY after he helped his choice for replacement of Jesse Jackson JR. win the primary election for Chicago:

Uh oh. NY Supreme Court: SAFE Act Injunction Unless State Proves Law Constitutional.
New York Supreme Court has stated that an injunction against the new SAFE Act (AKA massive, over-reaching gun ban) will be put in place on April 29th unless the state can prove that the law is constitutional. This puts the burden of proof on the state of New York to show the law is legal under the newly re-affirmed provisions of the Second Amendment, which is impossible..
Chicago says part of the blame of their high rate of gun violence is because neighboring cities don't have tough enough gun control.
Now this is rich and replete with emotionalism and blame shifting. No the blame lies completely with chicago and the failed policies dealing with their crime rate involving weapons, it isn't the access to weapons that is the problem, it is the culture of chicago that is the problem, mainly with their overpaid, uneducated, holier than thou leaders.

The constitution??? Isn't this a dated, irrevelent, lack of vision document?
That's what I've been hearing. The government seems to think that most of it is.
Some more on the drone killing of Americans. Anyone know if people other than the man and his son were killed in that drone strike in Yemen? Since they were hit while at a cafe, I just wonder if others were killed or wounded. Obama and Brennan still refuse to answer if they would ever use armed drones to kill American civilians on U.S. soil or not.
With the NDAA, the federal government already has the power to lock up American citizens with no due process and no rights. They don't even have to provide proof of ANYTHING to ANYONE. Everybody is just supposed to take their word. Now they've killed a couple of American citizens overseas, one of them a 16 boy. And they keep refusing to say if they would do armed drone strikes on U.S. citizens on U.S. soil. Anyone here see any problems with any of this?

In Al-Aulaqi v. Panetta (Al-Awlaki v. Panetta) the groups charge that the U.S. government’s killings of U.S. citizens Anwar Al-Aulaqi, Samir Khan, and 16-year-old Abdulrahman Al-Aulaqi in Yemen last year violated the Constitution’s fundamental guarantee against the deprivation of life without due process of law.
The killings were part of a broader program of “targeted killing” by the United States outside the context of armed conflict and based on vague legal standards, a closed executive process, and evidence never presented to the courts.
Be prepared in the next year or two for all criticism of “our freedom and democracy” government to be shut down. In Amerika, truth is about to be exterminated.
I've always said we get the government we deserve, and when you realize that millions of people listen to this trash box, and others of the same ilk, you begin to understand exactly why we keep electing the same idiots over and over and over.
