Patacki Shoots Self in Foot.

This could be good and bad. The latest budget proposal submitted by the other wacky George could alienate him from some of his staunchest supporters. It has to do with guns, so let me first spell out my views on gun control.

Guns are fun. When used responsibly, they can provide an enjoyable past time. I do not hunt, but I love meat, so it would be hypocritical to say that hunting is wrong. Anyone who has ever had venison will agree with me, and I feel that killing an animal in the wild is much more humane than the way chicken factories treat their chickens. (At least the deer had a life.) I also believe that if you want to own a gun for protection, you have the right to protect yourself. I do not however, believe that you need a Howitzer to shoot a buck or stop an intruder.

Anyway, I guess the new budget is going to include new fees on guns and their licenses. Here is a link to a place where you can read about it. HERE. I apologize for the link, because the only articles I could find about this were from crazy right wing pages, and I chose this one because it wasn't too nuts. Well, as nuts as the others for that matter.

This is bad from a gun lover's/owner's perspective, but good because maybe now some pro-gun crazies will start a movement against him and we can dethrone King George.
