You can't have your cake and eat it, too. Either what's best for America is what's best for America, or mob rule is what's best for America. Which do you choose?

90% of Americans want this, huh? According to Gallup, only 4% of Americans think gun control is important. It's pretty easy to get whatever result you want in a poll by wording the questions to your benefit. For example :

Quote:
"Do you support curing cancer?" = 90-100% "Yes"
"Do you support curing cancer if it means you have to submit to medical screenings once a week, at your own expense, to prevent cancer?" = a FAR different answer.

So, yeah, I can EASILY see a 90% support rate, depending on the question asked. And, of course, anyone can find a poll or study to support their side.

Liberals believe everything the government tells them. Why nobody has been able to figure out. Hopefully somebody will find the cause for this brain damage that seems to inflict them so it can't be passed on to the next generation.

It is a felony for the federal government to maintain a list, I don't believe it is even 90 days.
