Awwww, Caaa'monnn.
You mean they can license handguns, but not reporters???
I think reporters, particularly the lapdog Whitehouse kind, have killed
more people in the last century than domestic handguns, don'tcha think?
Heck, now that I think of it, we should also license printing presses, and
xeroxgraphy, and computers...
... And e-mail groups! Yeah, that's it. License e-mail groups...
Cheers,
