Originally posted by Attalus: LOL, all the gun control I am in favor of is tighter control on assault weapons. And, by the way, I remember a time that we had Liberal Democrats, Conservative Democrats, mostly Southern, Liberal Republicans (the Ripon Society), and, of course, Conservative Republicans. That is what LBJ meant when he told Bill Moyers, after signing the Civil Rights Act of 1964, that the Democrats had lost the South "for a generation." It's looking more like two, going on three. But, the South was then known as "the Solid South," for the way that it always voted Democratic. I remember, too, how amazed everyone was when a Republican was elected Governor of Texas, "for the first time since Reconstruction." Noe, every single statewide office is held by the GOP, also, "for the first time since Reconstruction."

Nothing wrong with a bit of control on automatic weapons, regular people have no need of them; but criminals will still have them...they still have drugs don't they?

Politics is confusing...ain't it?
