Gun ownership is one of those things I don't feel strongly about one way or the other. I have lots of friends who are responsible gun owners and that doesn't bother me. I also look at countries that prohibit gun ownership and think we might be missing out on a good thing. Seriously, I could go either way depending on how I slept the night before.

I'm flabbergasted, though, that when asked about the Supreme Court's decision to strike down strict gun control law in our nation's capitol, Presidential hopeful John McCain said this:

"Unlike the elitist view that believes Americans cling to guns out of bitterness, today's ruling recognizes that gun ownership is a fundamental right -- sacred, just as the right to free speech and assembly,"

Ummm... Fundemental and sacred? Owning a gun? Kinda making a purse out of a pig's ear aren't we?
