I dunno, they have been pretty dumb for as long as I can remember.

Guam had better follow Illinois' lead and impose restrictions on the purchase of drain cleaner. Caustic drain cleaner, uhh, could erode the, uhh, fundamental basis, uhh, foundation of the island and it could tip over...capsize into the ocean.

Often-times, people wind up in positions of authority for all the wrong reasons. I think it's the voters' fault in this case.

Remember, most of the congress-beings are just faces put before the people to be elected.
It's the ones behind them that are usually the real brains and power. When the congress-creatures decide to think for themselves they often say and do stupid things.

Yes. I'm predicting that Chicago/Cook county will be sold out in order to get "shall issue".

I saw that video on You Tube months ago, I never tire watching it.  For two reasons, first and foremost, it does remind me what we are up against when it comes to our "leaders", second, we need some humor in our lives and every time I watch this I can not stop laughing.......
There is only ONE gun law, it's called the second amendment.

All the rest are nothing but gun control laws.

The General, with an admirable amount of restraint ... "uh, we don't anticipate that."  The composure of the general, after hearing such an utterly nutty statement from Johnson, is just incredible.  Almost as incredible as Johnson himself!

I should of said the Rep from Georga said this in 2005. The island didn't turn over in 2005.

Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks"

My "yes" means I agree that Congress is getting dumber.  And that extranormal video was a little extreme but funny.  The only topics missing were creation science and the health consequences of masturbation.  Funny yes, but just a little over the top.

P.S. I like guns but those politics in the video are 50% horse crap and 50% truth.  More truth is better.

P.P.S.  Social issues besides 2A mean absolutely nothing to me when I post on this site.  The only thing I care about here is 2A.
