  26.  The BEST thing I ever saw was a FEMALE Boston police officer
  27.  explaining why women shouldn't own guns.  According to this
  28.  FEMALE police office, women don't have the upper body strength
  29.  required to properly use a firearm, hence they shouldn't own
  30.  one.  I didn't see her rushing to turn in her gun & badge!
  31.  
  32.  If I didn't know better, I would have thought that she was
  33.  a NRA plant :-)
