 Yea, well.... If you believe that the government is in control and the
government grants rights and the government is responsible for everyones
safety and well being then you get alot of the "Oh please government, help
us" type of attitudes. I'm really surprised that so many people here fall
into the trap and believe the excuses handed out.

There is another connection here that could be made. There are alot of
people who do not think that you should be able to own ANYTHING ex military
or reproduction even. Sara Brady for one has gone on record stating that she
does not believe people should be able to have/wear military uniforms (I
believe she was refering to bdu's). Her and others of her mind set end up
in high places and push there silent agenda. With all the talk of nhtsa,
does the name Joan Claybrook (sp?) ring a bell?? Wasn't she in charge of
nhtsa around the time of the mutt mess?
