I could be wrong . . . but I think that's a Dean Martin quote

"There ought to be one day-- just one-- when there is open season on senators"
Will Rogers

Seems fitting right now

 

I bet you could raffle off one bullet, and raise enough money to balance the budget. A stipulation could be you had to pick a Senator that you had an issue with. You couldn't live in NM and shoot a Senator from Michigan because they raised the state sales tax...

Knowing that there was one bullet out there, and it would eventually legally find its way into one Senator... Would probably have them singing a different tune. lol

I do not condone this behavior outlined in this message.

 

The only problem is that bullets are bought,with anything that can be bought senators and politicians in general always seem to get,whats the word? Lucky?:-D I think you'd have to go through a lot of clicking guns before a round actually went off.

 

whoa, Pax way to into it- shhhh :-D now don't answer your door

Another awesome quotation here..
