Half decent gun article.... (link)

Interesting that much of the subject of this article is centered in the nearby town of Garner NC, but it's a decent article all in all.

While the idea of the Christian Science Monitor may send Haldir into apoplexy , it's a lengthy article well worth the reading.

GRNC ROCKS!

I have a problem with this part, its the devilcrats that are the tyrants (the repubs aint much better but lets be realistic):

Yet a little defiance of government authority is mixed in there as well. The Democratic Party in many ways overinvested in symbolic legislation on gun control, which explains the backlash from hunters or people who have a legitimate reason to feel unsafe and want a gun by their bedside," says Sanford Levinson, a University of Texas constitutional law professor and expert on the Second Amendment. "But the more important thing is what the Republican Party has done over 25 years, which is to really delegitimize national government and make people feel that the national government is not merely incompetent, but also likely to be antagonistic and maybe even tyrannical."
