Just a Question on Kelo...

If real property can be taken away from its owner by a community based on the plunderer's definition of "public good," why can't tangibile property be similarly confiscated?

Things like guns...?

Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Elected officials in West Palm Beach, FL, where people are too stupid to vote, are blowing tax revenues on more stupidity.

“Mayor Lois Frankel announced West Palm Beach's first gun buyback program Wednesday, the latest in a series of efforts to help curb the killing spree in the city's north end…

"‘This is like a cancer,’ Frankel said. ‘There is no instant cure.’"


Using Frankel’s impaired grasp of cause and effect, if it were cancer, she’d be hawking a carcinogen “buyback.”

“Within an hour of the buyback announcement, Gregg Stephens, owner of Gator Guns & Pawn in West Palm Beach, said he got a call from a man who wanted to buy all of his handguns under $60. The man wanted to turn them in for a profit.”
