FEMA Caves
A while back, the trailer park FEMA built did not allow guns on the property. That is no longer the case:
Residents can now possess and store firearms in trailer parks or other temporary housing set up for hurricane victims by the Federal Emergency Management Agency under a new policy announced today.
Use of weapons is still prohibited in the parks, according to FEMA spokesman Butch Kinerny.
Gun rights groups had sought the change, saying the original policy violated Second Amendment protections for gun ownership. Kinerny said FEMA made the change after consulting with lawyers.
That, the citizens of Brazil rejecting a gun ban and a Brady Center person resigning all in a couple of weeks indicates trouble with the anti-gun crowd.
We’re winning.

We are winning when a 17 year old girl with a note from her mother can go into a hardware store and buy a belt-fed machine gun.
Until then, we are still fighting.

Well, I think I’d draw the line at 18. Or more likely 21. Otherwise, it’s a great idea.
I don’t drink, and I’m not a neo-prohibitionist, but I don’t think a 17 year-old with a note from her mother should be allowed to go to the liquor store and buy vodka, either.
It’s an age/responsibility thing.

Kristopher,
I think it is time the pro-gun side went on offense. We’ll see if the NRA has the stones.

The antis are down, and you know what they say about kicking someone when they’re down:
You get better leverage from that angle.
