The difference between Republicans and Democrats . . .

. . . lies mainly in which rights they think we can get along just fine without. 

The other side of the coin, counterpoint to all the unconstitutional excesses of the Bush Debacle:  Gun shops experiencing an uptick in sales, in the face of a bad economy.

In the interests of international clarity here, I have to add that we are not discussing true AK47 "assault rifles", just as the weapons in that newspaper photo are not true M-16s. The discussion centers on "civilian" versions, capable of semi-automatic fire only.

Full-auto weapons require a special Federal license, expensive and difficult to get. The same applies to various other non-sport weapons.
