Journal SPAM: "A lot worse than we thought..." 5

Former and possibly future presidential candidate, attorney and political activist Ralph Nader quotes Democratic Congressman Olver (Mass.) on why the Democrats are powerless to stop Bush, Cheney and Co.

According to Nader, Olver said that if the Democrats started impeachment proceedings, the Bush administration would immediately bomb Iran. When Iran retaliates at all, Bush will declare a national emergency, declare martial law, and cancel the 2008 elections.

Even if it's not "technically" a ban, the hoops you have to jump through, the paperwork, the background checks, the fact that the ATF can come by any time they want to inspect your facility, not to mention the taxes and fees. Oh, and you can guarantee you're on a list of undesirables should things go as badly as they might. Just try to get an M1919.

Always draw your curves, then plot your reading.
