I don't know how the economy is going to get stimulated...
when pretty much the entire nation stops in its tracks for his first hour on the job.
Seriously, what does one hour of our GDP amount to?
from what I can figure, roughly $4.3 billion- the 170 million in outlays for the rest of today's wing-ding is a pittance in comparison.
OK, so one time zone is using their lunch hour, so maybe as a nation we're only down about 3 billion-
Oh and BTW, W's inauguration costs were right up there in the 150+ mill range each time too.

I heard bush's was $43.5 million? Still too much in my opinion.

We already screen owners for criminal/mental health records.
Do you propose having an office accompany the owner home and inspecting the premises?

There are already numerous laws in place regarding gun purchase.
You "have" to have a safe before you take your firearm home.
But it is ultimately the responsibility of the parent / gun owner to ensure their firearms are safe from little hands.
dont blame the system for bad parenting.

umm by law you already have to keep your guns in a safe and/or locked. it's your own fault if your kids stole your keys and/or broke the safe.
you should teach your kids gun safety at a young age.
the laws are safe already. there's no "safer" law to be made. people's actions make it unsafe and that kickstarts ideas for your horrible new "safer" laws.

flatline- yeah i agree with some of the stuff you said that should be banned, but suppressors..are just cool toys. nothing wrong with them in my eyes. they're still audible when being shot out of...depending on the round
as for full auto...let the military keep it. i can't hit anything full auto anyways :P.

Some interesting things I've read today.
Obama is having Nixon's bowling alley turned into a basketball court. Expensive.
Oprah is staying in Lincoln's bedroom. What she can't afford a hotel room?
Taxes for working class Joe go down. Taxes on businesses go up. Taxes outsource. Working class Joe looses job.
We need to tax outsourcing to equal the playing field.
