Maybe Sugarmann should support as much bankruptcy protection as possible- if he really cared about people snapping.<br /><br />My take on this bill is that it is a litmus test for November. Democrats who want to appear pro-gun have the most to gain. The bill itself really doesn’t change much as there are currently plenty of ways to protect guns as well as other assets.TSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-74979909087408512742010-07-30T23:21:53.319+02:002010-07-30T23:21:53.319+02:00"Sayuncle said it best:"

There is no evidence showing that there is a higher murder rate in these instances. Therefore, the VPC and Brady Campaigns claims are pure speculation and without merit. Again.<br /><br />Is it any wonder that no one is taking this twits seriously anymore? They are getting less and less relevant with every press release.RuffRidrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13597758856457029471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-73435614572251286212010-07-30T16:50:03.795+02:002010-07-30T16:50:03.795+02:00Sayuncle said it best:
