[yeahYeah]

we get alot of discounts with the NRA too.

for $35/year i can say i am part of a movement and i get a cool magazine too.

[yeahYeah]

The author if that piece of crap clearly must be mainlining the liberal line.

Amazing they have no problem when the court invents the right to abortion, but accuses them of activism when they correctly interpret what the Constitution has in plain English.
