Nothing Succeeds Like Excess

A new state law designed to expand background checks at Virginia gun shows has resulted in only one person being denied the purchase of a weapon at 41 weekend events during the first six months of the initiative, which required $300,000 in funding to hire three new state police employees. [More]

You mean to tell me....

That .008 percent of people have been stopped from buying a firearm through legal means? And that they spent 300,000 dollars to do it?

You mean to tell me that 99.99 percent for he time, this massive universal background check system accomplishes absolutely NOTHING?

Well, lets have some more of that!

But, it makes us FEEL better! Lets all beg permission from Daddy!

Yep, that is how Free Men behave.

That's not fair!

I can only read so much of the nuttiness you write about before my head gets to hurtin'. But I promise to try harder in the future.
Sometimes I wish you'd cut back a little... to 14 hours a day. :-)
