- Now now. Lets be nice. You are accusing Les of lying. I know for a fact
- that Les does write, a lot. I have in fact sent two angry letters to our
- beloved Gov and got a reply after the second one. I'm not supprised that you
- get an answer every time. They probably get a lot less "I love you" mail
- than they do angry mail.

- Yes, he is frantically trying to make up for all the damage he did during
- the first two years of his dictatorship.

- Actually if you take the current law to the letter Les is right.
- Banning BB guns
- was not the intent of the law but it illustrates how poor the law is. I
- doubt if
- the Gov actually cares about stuff like this. His intent was to appear to have
- done something about crime at the cost of stepping on the rights of a
- small special
- interest group. Now all he cares about is throwing eggs at the NRA and visa
- versa. The end result is poor gun legislation.
