1. This was tried before during the
Bush Administration. I remember Asscroft said that purchasing a gun couldn't be denied to someone on the terrorist watch list. Seemed kind of crazy to me.

2. The whole watch list thing is crazy.
Edited on Wed May-05-10 09:18 AM by X_Digger
No objective way to know if a person is on it, no way to know what criteria led to that classification, no way to get off it in the case of mistaken identity. (No due process)

Not to mention the most serious suspects aren't on it because they might learn that the government is watching them.

4. It amazes me that many people thought Lieberman was fit to run for president...

8. And fresh seafood and veggies
We actually grow a lot of our veggies and herbs.

It's been a long time since we've had less than 1500 murders a year and everything to date suggests that we'll break every record this year.
