I'm tired of being lied to by government, by the media, and by every corporation I have anything to do with.

Let's make it clear for the dimmest bulbs among you: the kids at Columbine High didn't die from too many guns, they died from too few. I'm not suggesting that the teachers should have carried guns not as franchised agents of the state.
