Instead of just apparently so?
I guess it beats letting Joe Biden do it.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Three days after six teachers and 20 students were killed by a rampaging gunman at their elementary school in Newtown, Conn., an 8-year-old from Maryland pulled out a sheet of paper and wrote to President Barack Obama asking for “some changes in the laws with guns.”
“It’s a free country but I recommend there needs (to) be a limit with guns,” Grant wrote in the Dec. 17 letter. “Please don’t let people own machine guns or other powerful guns like that.”
And I have to wonder: Do inside-the-beltway-type people ever just wake up shaking at the silliness of it all?

The Infamous Oregon Lawhobbit Says: Claire, have you ever READ some of the laws that get passed? I’m up for giving some eight year olds a shot at it. 😉
If I were really into legislating, I’d figure immature has to beat holy-fucking-batshit-insane any day.
That’s the idea of Congressional legislation – to reduce everything to the lowest common denominator. Therefore, we will all be treated like a). children, b). criminals, and/or c). mental deficients.
