Well, the American public has spoken.

If you ever wondered whether your activism pays off, then look no further than the immigration debate. The bill went down in flames yesterday by a vote of 53-46.

And good thing too, because this bill was packing more than just immigration stuff — it also contained anti-gun language as well.

But what else would you expect from a Ted Kennedy bill?

In addition to denying many law-abiding gun owners their right to find a job or buy a gun, the bill could have put every major gun shop out of business, something which the anti-gun left has been trying to do for years.

Everyone Shows ID for Beer in Tenn.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Comer Wilson hasn’t had to show his ID to buy beer in a while. Maybe it’s the 66-year-old man’s long white beard.

Starting Sunday, gray hair won’t be good enough. Wilson and everyone else will be required to show identification before buying beer in Tennessee stores—no matter how old the buyer appears.

“It’s the stupidest law I ever heard of,” Wilson said. “You can see I’m over 21.”

Tennessee is the first state to make universal carding mandatory, says the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association. However, the law does not apply to beer sales in bars and restaurants, and it does not cover wine and liquor.

Well, I think that it is a GREAT idea!

Annoy people with enough stupid laws so even the most dense can see the stupidity.

More laws to correct more problems that the laws created in the first place.

When do we realize that laws don’t prevent underage drinking, they encourage it. Prohibition demonstrated it. Being illegal, it’s kool. Being illegal, when they turn 18 or 21 or one of their friends do, it’s drunken city.

Same as all drugs. You can’t prevent it with a law. All you can do is raise the price!
