David Hardy linked to an excellent rebuttal in the Daily News of Jill Porter's disgusting piece on "racial smugness" and "feel good legislation" in shilling for those bills. Not much hope for Philly, perhaps, but I hope the rest of PA gives Rendell a swift kick over this one. If that happens, it's only a matter of minutes before the usual crowing about the "extreme right-wing NRA/gun lobby/blah blah blah."

Not someplace I'd want to be. (Besides, I'm a lousy bowshot) There’s a scene in Little House in the Big Woods where the Father is attacked by a bear and him with only his muzzle-loader on him.

It takes the damn things 20 minutes to die. I’ve heard that a few people hunt elephants with bows and arrows. It takes the damn things 20 minutes to die.

Many East Coast states also produce an excessive number of ambitious, liberal politicians who use gun control to advance their careers. Typically, they’re big city mayors or state attorney generals looking to move into national politics. For them, gun control is not a crime strategy; it's a career move.

Welcome to my world! Deer season starts Monday -- the TV and radio have been announcing it for a month. Bowhunting is extremely popular here, to judge from the the number of UBP bumperstickers I see. The neighbor across the street has been talking about nothing for the last week but bear season -- and he's a bowhunter. I agree, though, that I probably wouldn't do it.
