The fine folks at the NRA must be incontinent with glee, as the 10 year assault weapons ban has expired. I am not one to say all guns are bad, but in this nation hosting a dangerous level of antidepressants intake, is it really a good idea to make Uzis, AK-47's and other such guns EASIER to get a hold of? Indeed the NRA vote is important in an election year, but not reinstating this public safety law makes it seem like Columbine has been forgotten.

politically, it seems the American-Israeli partnership is as strong as ever...Uzi is an Israeli company, if you didn't know. Is the weapons trade really worth all the pain, anguish and death it causes? I guess that depends on your definition of justice and morality.
