ReplyDeleteSo the solution to the National Socialists is to pass more common-sense reforms? Where are these fellows' thinking caps, did they not get one when they were being issued? Do they really believe the boys in the cities with guns and no self control are merely waiting for more common-sense gun laws before they stop poppin' caps in one another? This is pure, unadulterated madness to not address the root cause of violence in the black community, namely the lack of fathers to show these boys how to be a man!

Damned stupid fools!
