The Camel's Nose

There's never been much doubt about where liberal Democrats stand on the issue of firearms. They hunkered down after a couple of election butt-kickings, but they have always harbored more than a tiny bit of hopolophobia. The very concept of an armed society as a check on their excesses has been anathema.

So now we've got the camel's snuffling snout under the side of the tent. Pay particular attention to HR-45 in this:

So It Begins--with a 45

The rumor is already making the rounds that this egregious assault on the Second Amendment got folded into the mis-named "stimulus bill". I couldn't find it in a quick search of the bill text.

One can only wonder what makes language like "shall not be infringed" so difficult to understand.

Molon labe!
