Quote of the day

. . . the Tucson shootings should discredit the canard that we need more guns at school, in the workplace, even in Congress. Yes, Congress. The Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert has proposed a bill to allow fellow members to carry firearms into the Capitol Building. Gohmert has enough trouble carrying a coherent thought onto the House floor. God forbid he would try to bring a Glock to work.
