    Any reason you feel like mentioning McCain but not Hillary, or the fact that they were merely co-sponsors? Or the fact that the vote was in fact, unanimous?

    Of course. That is how you get around those silly donation laws.

    Read the link, a knife killing spree with no one nearby to stop him. In a place where citizens have the rights to defend themselves, that cannot happen. No rights, no defense, death/murder result. Nothing funny about that. But I am smart enough to realize that taking rights away does very little to protect people.

    Sure, don't even bother with the fact that japan + the UK have banned knives, and knife bans don't work... Neither do gun bans. How odd. But in your honor, I'll buy one of each. Because I can.

    Wikipedia for the US congress? Now that could be funny.

    Cutting troop funding and FISA are 2 completely different things. Also, contextually both sides voted against troop funding.
