That pretty much says it all...

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

"We're going to take a look at what happened [in Newtown] and what can be done to help avoid it in the future, but gun control is not going to be something that I would support." -- Representative Robert W. Goodlatte, Republican from Virginia and incoming chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

I know I might sound a bit militaristic, but you can have all the control you want over weapons but it won't change the undeniable fact that the weapon has never and will never kill a human being on its own. It's human beings that use the weapon to take life. Just a simple fact that a lot of people seem to overlook. I don't know why, either. I have said it before and I will say it a second time - you can leave a weapon, loaded, on a table and it will never fire unless someone pulls that trigger. What we really need is better control over who has weapons. I believe we need to do a full evaluation before someone buys a weapon or a flag that is sent up when someone with mental health or dangerous habits buy one.

Also, Goodlatte is an idiot. I have done work for him and I know where he lives and I have seen his house (it's in Hunting Hills) and...he's making it rich on stupidity.
