gun people majority
The vast majority of gun owners don't kill, but people who do kill, tend to kill with guns, and often with illegal guns.
gun liberty protect
There's no evidence that I'm aware of that guns protect liberty.
gun second-amendment modern
The Second Amendment has no place in modern society.
real gun hunting
We have to fulfill what the real meaning of the Second Amendment is: reasonable access to guns for self-protection and for hunting. And there's no room in America for these semiautomatic, automatic and other kinds of weapons that are simply designed to cause mass havoc.
mean gun safety
Foolish liberals who are trying to read the Second Amendment out of the constitution by claiming it's not an individual right or that it's too much of a safety hazard don't see the danger of the big picture. They're courting disaster by encouraging others to use this same means to eliminate portions of the Constitution they don't like.
clearly clients count mean options pursue reflected satisfied state votes whose
The count is going to go on. That doesn't mean my clients will be satisfied with the count. If the count excludes the votes of some whose will is clearly reflected in the ballot, we will pursue our options in the state court.
candid describing facts judge truth wants
The judge also has a truth he wants to hide: He often hasn't been completely candid in describing the facts or the law.

Nobody gets immunity from perjury. If he testified falsely, he would be prosecuted. It's hard for me to make a judgment because I don't know what's true and what's false.
bet people
I would bet you there weren't more than 20 or 30 people who read it.
answers point questions
We just have no idea what the answers are to those questions at this point in time.
law
We wouldn't even know where to look to find the law because there is no law.
religious school government
We all learn in school that the judicial, legislative and executive branches of government must check and balance each other. But other non state institutions must participate in this important system of checks and balances as well. These checking institutions include the academy, the media, religious institutions and NGOs.
lied lost man putting stand witness
The prosecution lost its credibility by putting a man on the witness stand who lied about the 'n' word.
jobs years giving
I'm worried about privacy because of the young people who don't give a damn about their privacy, who are prepared to put their entire private lives online. They put stuff on Facebook that 15 years from now will prevent them from getting the jobs they want. They don't understand that they are mortgaging their future for a quick laugh from a friend.
