Let's see how the pro-gun crowd reacts to this: [/ QUOTE ] I already know tomorrow's right-wing talking point: "Liberals use these kinds of tragic accidents to further their agenda. Liberal gun control advocates just love it when these things happen. They can't help but cheer when someone is critically hurt with a gun." These things write themselves. Cheney shoots a guy in the face = liberals bad. Yawn.

[/ QUOTE ] Well, I for one wouldn't want to restrict Cheney from participating in an activity where he might get blasted with a shotgun. So there's no problem on that front. I guess my main beef is the lack of retaliation by Cheney's hunting companion. Maybe he'd then have some idea of what war is like and wouldn't be so quick to send young soldiers to die.

Re: Cheney shoots friend in the face
You've convinced me. Let's outlaw rock climbing, skydiving, white-water rafting, hiking, martial arts, children's playgrounds, and cutlery. I don't know how I ever lived without laws to protect me from accidents.

Re: Cheney shoots friend in the face
Nope, still pro-gun. Or to put another way pro-constitution, or pro-founding fathers.
Should we make it illegal to walk across the street as well?

[ QUOTE ] "Guns don't kill people, idiots with guns kill people." [/ QUOTE ] Do idiots without guns kill people? [/ QUOTE ] Cheney is pretty frail. If you clap your hands together fairly hard, he would probably have a heart attack. So, I doubt he could kill anyone without a gun. I do get your point, though. Gunplay amongst Republicans should be allowed and even encouraged.
