I think you've better chances of recovery than Britain but it will be a long road.<br /><br /> Chicago is very much the same way, but much of the populace is somewhat less independent-minded than inhabitants of .au.

It may not be a totally unrelated fact that two of the largest and most diverse pistol collections were accumulated by police sergeants.<br /><br />On a sadder note, we have had three of these events which were compulsory.

They believe that all guns should be in the hands of the State.<br /><br />Also note that its an abuse for lawful gun owners to turn in defunct guns... but it's a Victory when Somedue turns in a broken down Jennings.<br /><br />And note who they get more butthurt about spending that money.The Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15173903164209256926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-82802182238672839082012-07-03T10:36:09.005-04:002012-07-03T10:36:09.005-04:00If they were ever silly enough to do this around h...If they were ever silly enough to do this around here (not bloody likely) I'd stand at the line and offer $20 more than what the police are, cash, for first pick at things.perlhaqrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920117742664645165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-27750365456629292822012-07-03T10:24:08.238-04:002012-07-03T10:24:08.238-04:00I saw this yesterday and laughed myself silly.

I love it when somebody actually manages to do something noble despite the pols misguided crap. And that's why the politicians hate it - instead of encouraging more dependence on .gov, it teaches responseability and independence. Independence: nice sounding word, don't we have a day coming up to celebrate something like that?
