Logic disarmed

Sun., Nov. 28, 2010

We ship guns to Mexico; they ship drugs to us. Have we lost the intelligence to understand the relationship between cause and effect? My cat can do better than that.

The Second Amendment cultists, not content to possess rifles and pistols for hunting and self-protection, insist on possessing assault rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers and other weapons of mass destruction. And we let them do it.

How long before the warfare in Mexico spreads to this country? If our police departments feel overworked now, they ain’t seen nothing yet.
