5. Well, they failed trying to use the Constitution, so try using the Bible to justify gun control?

The gun controllers got skunked trying to re-write the Bill of Rights to their liking.

So why not try to use religion as the rationale? But they better find both Old and New Testament passages to use and something from the Koran too, so they cover all the bases and at least sound ecumenical and broad based.

On the Sunday shows (Face the Nation?) even Colorado's Governor Hickenlooper said their recent round of gun laws would have had no impact on the Arapahoe school shooter and they might need some "tweaking". That either means a proposal to ban or control pump action shotguns or backing off in general for his re-election run next year.

But I keep reading how the "tide has turned" and "there's a trend to more control". I guess we just can't see it yet since we're all blinded by slavish devotion to our "penis substitutes". Damn! If I'd of only known I wouldn't have picked a Colt 1 7/8 snubbie for that)
