How we view 'leaders' who're "gun-happy" ....

[TahitiNut]

This is, by far, the most frequently published image of Saddam ... a man so filled with arrogance that he uses firearms irresponsibly in some macho show of hubris. I wonder if Saddam would've 'accidentally' shot a close friend and associate while hunting quail. The political hypocrisy of the 'average' Bushtard in the U.S. is truly breath-taking.

1. I agree.

The NRA has changed from an organization promoting the safest use of firearms but now even the biggest proponents of gun ownership don't handle weapons safely at all-a la Dick Cheney.

It lobbying of gun laws now makes it easier for criminals to use automatic weapons. You'd think that for all the rhetoric you hear about the second amendment that more people would be getting organized to keep our government from getting overthrown but of course you don't.
