"An Uzi Up Your Liberal Nose"

SF Gate's Mark Morford reminds us all that the assault weapon ban is about to expire (Sept) and no one will stop it.  All hail the greatness that is the NRA!

Machine guns. Aren't they just the cutest things?
And isn't it just so sweet and fall-down uproarious how the NRA and all its knuckle-draggin' right-wing pals in the U.S. Senate are all cheering right this minute, as the much-loathed 10-year-old ban on assault weapons, the one outlawing Uzis and TEC-9 semiautomatics and AK-47s and all other way-cool manly guns that have no other purpose in this world than to annihilate crap at 200 rounds per minute, is about to expire?
Morford rocks, if you haven't seen his stuff.  Some's better than others, but this is one of his better rants to date.  Here's more.  View it all here

Simply put, they just do not care whether you know. Why? Because the Right, they still have majority control. They still make the rules, and, no matter how many Dems or progressives or commonsense Americans still think the assault-weapons ban is a good idea overall, they just don't give a crap. The NRA is in charge. The sheer force of the gun lobby will make Uzis available again, just because they can. Don't like it? Suck my shotgun barrel, commie liberal tree hugger. God bless America.
