Nobody called anybody a "liberal" in this thread. YOU are the one who started the BS. YOU are the problem.

Maybe, but he has pushed big government nanny state issue like telling businesses what size soft drinks they can sell.

They should. Why shouldn't we have the same protection as the nuts in office?

Then forget I said anything. Obviously this has nothing at all to do with politics and it is just New Yorkers having to deal with two individuals who happen to support strong police control and it has nothing at all to do with either political party.

So what were you saying about Bloomberg and Kelly?

There are many people who live in unsafe areas. One could post many instances where someone was able to protect their life because they were carrying.

As for voting for the lesser of two evils, I actually like Obama and support a number of his things, so there was no voting for a lesser of two evils for me. Also I am a Browns fan and I haven't really been watching much of any football in recent years cause they seem to suck year after year.
I may not agree with your choice as far as who you voted for, but if that is who you voted for so be it. Having said that, i still feel that there isn't any difference in either party, as i both feel that they pander to special interests.

As for the browns...... Have faith.

Illegal? LOL.

There is NO right to privacy on a public street. Or in a public place.

Street side scanners does seem a bit extreme. However, I cannot help but think that this is a reaction to inviting a discussion on gun control and it is received with the "arm everybody" or "arm the teachers" or "arm the college students" or the reaction from the "from my cold dead hands" crowd.
With no discussion and no possibility of compromise you often get extreme reactions.
