The Senate approved the package 60 to 38 with three Republicans joining Democrats in voting “yes.”
If just one of those RINOs had voted no, the country would have been saved. The precedent is set. Welcome to Socialist America. One ticket to New Zealand, please.


FYI: 60 is the exact minimum needed. They sure had a lot of support on this!

Trade a gun for a rose in SC on Valentine's Day

Quote:
COLUMBIA, S.C. – Police in South Carolina gave away roses on Valentine's Day. All you had to do to get one for your sweetie was turn in a gun.

Hoping to get the weapons off the streets with the "Guns for Roses" program, authorities in two central South Carolina cities set up a program where anyone who turned in a gun received a free rose and a Best Buy gift card.

At a Columbia church, five cars lined up to give away guns before the exchange had even started. About an hour and a half later, police had collected 75 weapons.

"We've got a great turnout so far," Richland County sheriff's spokesman Lt. Chris Cowan said.

A handgun was worth a $100 gift card, while a rifle or shotgun netted a $50 gift certificate. Cowan said one man turned in six handguns, worth $600 in gift cards.

But there was no amnesty for those turning in the guns. The weapons were checked to see if they were stolen, names and addresses were jotted down and ballistics tests would also be done to see if the firearm was used in a crime.

Cowan said the idea was spawned in part by Columbia Police Chief T.P. Carter and Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott, who has made headlines recently for investigating Michael Phelps after a photo surfaced showing the Olympic swimming champion smoking a marijuana pipe. The program was modeled after a California one; similar exchanges have been done in New York and San Francisco.

Cowan said gun donors were young and old, men and woman. Many had a big smile and some said it was a relief to get rid of the weapons.

And did the men even care about the rose?

"Most of them have taken it," Cowan said.
Wait, wut? :confused:

I think that is very slanted reporting.



next time you hear about something like this going down, go down there and before they get to line, offer them money for their firearms, and try to get as many of them before they are turned in for a mother fucking giftcard.

Earthquake Rattles Central NJ ... Again | NBC New York

Quote:
The latest earthquake, with a magnitude of 2.2, was recorded shortly before 5:30 p.m. Saturday, said Scott DiGiralomo, a coordinator with the county's office of emergency management. He told The Star-Ledger of Newark that the quake's epicenter was about 6 miles north of Boonton, and it was felt in neighboring Montville.
Maybe N. Korea is testing their "Nukes" over here for a change.

I ain't felt anything

It doesn't "get guns off the streets", anyway. They checked them for criminal activity. It just took guns from legal holders.

which is fine, they gave them up by choice, but has nothing to do with crime.
