On Hardball, while discussing new gun laws to help fight terrorism (stop giggling), Chris Matthews and Frank Lautenberg had this exchange (paraphrased- I will correct when the transcript is up):
Matthews: “What do you do when these gun laws to stop terrorists from getting guns might keep a guy who just wants to hunt from getting a rifle?”
Lautenberg: “That is just a chance we have to take.”
Aye carumba.

Just wants to hunt with what kind of rifle, John?

Any damn rifle he chooses!

Didn’t Christopher Hedges just condemn the use of war to make people think too much of the collective? To just go along, and to give up their freedoms and their rights?
Perhaps Mr. Hedges should have a chat w/ Mr. Matthews and Mr. Lautenberg?
Dan
I don’t have cable, so I didn’t see the broadcast. Did the conversation have anything to do with the sunsetting assault rifles ban?
David Perron
What the hell’s an assault rifle, anyway?
