Thanks, Bill, for that song tonight. Hank Williams was a legend in his times. However, hearing this song again just makes me wonder, ((||...what ever happened to junior, for Christ's sake||)).

Bill Wolff -- Watch the show every day. I just posted this on FB and thought that this slant on gun control/safety could be of interest to you and the staff:

True or False?

1. Background checks would NOT stop criminals from getting guns.

2. Since gun dealers must run background checks on all sales, even at gun shows, a "universal background check" that closes the loophole for individual-to-individual sales at gun shows would NOT prevent law-abiding citizens from getting guns.

3. Developing a nationwide data base for the MENTALLY ILL that can be linked to "universal background checks" would NOT prevent law-abiding citizens from getting guns.

4. Banning the AR-15 or other so-called "assault rifles" would NOT prevent law-abiding citizens from choosing from a wide variety of guns -- from rifles and shotguns to handguns, including those with 10-round clips -- for target shooting, sport and self-defense.

5. Banning large-capacity magazines (30 rounds) and drums (100 rounds) would NOT prevent law-abiding citizens from choosing from a wide variety of ammunition options, including 10-round clips for semi-automatic hand guns.

6. In the 2008 Heller decision, the U.S. Supreme Court held that "Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited . It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose."

7. According to the 2008 U.S. Supreme Court decision (Heller), Congress MAY limit types of guns and ammunition available to private citizens, and states retain the power to limit how permitted guns may be carried, including requiring permits for concealed weapons.

8. The 2008 Heller decision received a 6-3 vote of the U.S. Supreme Court.

9. The majority opinion in the 2008 Heller decision was authored by Associate Justice Anton Scalia.

The answer to ALL questions is TRUE. The NRA concedes this, though it continues to oppose the "universal background check" and the "assault weapon" ban for other reasons -- namely, on the grounds that they limit choice.

"Universal Background Checks" and an "Assault Weapons" Ban and a nationwide data base for the mentally ill, however effective or ineffective you might feel they might be, will NOT threaten our Second Amendment right.

So, let's use common sense -- let's support action that will make it more difficult for criminals to get guns and more difficult for the mentally ill to slaughter the innocent.

More difficult doesn't mean impossible. But, think about it -- if these steps DO NOT significantly impact law-abiding citizens and do NOT threaten our Second Amendment right, shouldn't we take these steps NOW?

Just watched Rachel go off on republicans for not supporting violence against women act - but she doesn't make a cogent argument about what is in the bill or why the republicans are opposing it - just if republicans want to get womens support they need to support this act. This is NOT a LOGICAL argument. Please say what is in the Bill - why you think it should be supported and what are the parts of the bill that others are having difficulty not supporting. Otherwise you are not providing any inisght - just partisan drivel.

What's happening with TRMS online feed? Lately, when I try to watch the show, it's constantly freezing up, as though I don't have enough bandwidth. I do, though. Just finished watching NCIS and NCIS Los Angeles online with no problems. Since last week, I haven't been able to watch TRMS without constant interruptions.
