OT: the DC gun deal
Yeah, that's a beauty. Eliminates registration and state-lines limitations, as well as opening the door for unlimited semi-automatics. Just in case you'd like to wield a semi-automatic rifle around the DC environs.
Of all the ironies here, perhaps the largest is that the Secret Service and the U.S. Marshalls were the two law enforcement agencies that refused the invitation to testify before Congress on the matter. (Gee, I wonder where the marching orders on that might have come from). Ironic, because that's who's going to get hung out to dry as soon as a top government honcho gets assassinated. That is if there's anyone left who sticks around to be the fall guy on a job that will be next-to-impossible. So much of how security is handled revolves around fire and reload times and no semi-automatics. Sick though it may be, if the Obama folks manage to win the White House, I wouldn't be surprised to see InTrade put up the over/under on assassination and find it spikes very high.
