 From the article:quote: The organization also raises the possibility that Secret Service snipers could mistakenly target as security threats people unholstering and unloading weapons in the parking lot.
  It is interesting that they think the Secret Service snipers would not mistakenly target people with suspicious bulges under their coats, eh?
  I am afraid I'm not clever enough to come up with a good signature, eh? |

 I have this visual in my mind, of a whole bunch of people running to their cars to get their guns after the VP is finished talking.  It's hilarious.  The thing that I find particularly mind-blowing though is the statement by the activists that being without their guns will leave them "open to attack".  Who do these people think that they are, James Bond?  I think that these people must lead very sad and fearful lives if that's the way they feel.
  Greg.

 I was thinking the same thing, Greg.
  This is also from the article...  quote: State Republican Director Scott Parker said the gun restrictions will be lifted after Cheney leaves the building, allowing those who wish to retrieve legally concealed weapons from their vehicles to do so in time for voting on party officers. 
  
  Now,if you just replace voting on with  shooting at you'll have a rolicking FUN convention.  .
  BTW. I thought the O K Corral was in Tombstone, Arizona. Not Salt Lake City, Utah.  .

 the marines had a little ditty in basic training:
  "this is my rifle, (hold out m-16) this is my gun (grab crotch) this is for fighting, this is for fun."
  evidently in Utah the pistol may have replaced the penis for fun. your "gun" don't go anywhere without it.

  Radioactive GM Crops.
  Slightly above background.
  Safe to eat.
  But no activist would dare rip it out.
  As they think it gives them cancer. |

 Wow, I guess the article wasn't a joke.  I admit when I first read it I was looking for "The Onion" tag somewhere. Anyone catch CNN last night?  The little blurb at the bottom listed the guns/knives the Secret Service confiscated at the door. When I think of Utah, I have a hard time picturing the Yosimite Sam type.  As far as I know, Sam never wore secret magical god-inspired underwear.  Okay, that I out of line, I'm sorry.  But Utah?  Here in South Dakota, we think they're giving gun-toting citizens a bad name.

 And people actually think jarheads are insane. Just because we're forced to repeat that our rifles are our friends and will protect us as a nighttime prayer.
  Those in Utah are scary if that's really the case. Yikes! And people are worried about the loonie survivalists in Montana?
