 about alert

 Maybe.  Schumer et Feinstein et al never saw a gun ban they didn't
 like...

 I'd suggest that is why we need to keep hammering Knox, Hammer, Metaksa

 Still, I don't think any of this can be laid at NRA or anybody else's

          "Clinton thinks a family value is when he can get
          all the women in one family at a lower rate than
          if he bought `em one at a time."
