The same LBJ that escalated the war in Vietnam and cost me two years of my life fighting to stay alive, that LBJ?

None of those weapons belong on the street. Warren Stupidity Oct 2012 #2
They sure don't...the street is a place where they will rust. dumbledork Oct 2012 #4
Plus you could get a flat tire. Warren Stupidity Oct 2012 #5
Correct Remmah2 Oct 2012 #35

Not a far fetched comparison... Francis Marion Oct 2012 #114
The 2nd Amendment isn't about hunting. jeepnstein Oct 2012 #49

I quite agree. Maybe we need to send a letter with most of us signing? Eleanors38 Oct 2012 #106
I keep hoping that one of his Crew keeps tabs on us --- Tuesday Afternoon Oct 2012 #90
