More of the 'hope and change' B.O. wants for America. This walking stool saw something it wanted, & took it. Now they are going to try & take your guns. Think it will get better when that happens? Why even waste money housing & feeding it, & for the cost of a pointless trial?! We are going to have to take matters into our own hands. We should be as speedy with executions as they were in the old west. I suppose one of the "reverends", al or jesse will show up & complain about how IT is the victim.
