Ramping up gun control

The NY Times reports a surge of state legislation on gun use. The idea is, for example, to make it easier to trace guns used in crimes and harder for criminals and the mentally disturbed to get weapons. This is depicted as a sea change on an issue where the gun lobby has held sway for years. The Terminator supports the effort, by the way, saying it's something that should be bipartisan.

Two comments:

1) Surprise. Arkansas isn't on the map of states with measures pending.

2) Will Hillary decry or laud this development?

This also reminds me: Hillary will be on the Colbert Report on Thursday. Count me surprised if her muscular embrace of gun sports and the beer-and-shot knockdown don't figure in the outing.

Pray, shoot and drank!

Barack... the gauntlet has been thrown down! I suggest you come back at her with a bottle of Mezcal and a nightclub skirmish in Philadelphia. "Who's elitist now?"

Crosseyed and Painless.. by the talking Heads comes to mind or ACDC Have A Drink On Me

Hillary once drank McCain under the table. Vodka was the choice then. Barack better watch out.

Oh come on. If Barack can live down asking for orange juice instead of coffee, Hillary can live down asking for a glass of tea, a glass of ice tea, no less, even in Pennsylvania.
Pssst, Hill, you just laugh and say: guys, I really need to walk out of here, not be carried out.
I hope this was photoshopped. If things have really gotten this stew-pid, maybe we deserve GeorgieBoy.
