The new Gravel HQ is up and running in SL. Astro has been working hard, it's obvious. About the time the last HQ was taken down, he had me make a sign for "Mike ... on the 2nd Amendment". Of course, second amendment rights are important to me, so I stopped by the new HQ last night to get the scoop on Mike Gravel's stand on that topic. Here's the full text of the notecard that is dispensed:
==Senator Mike Gravel==
==On the Second Amendment==
* While Senator Gravel fully supports the 2nd Amendment, he believes that fundamental change must take place with regards to gun ownership.
** The senator advocates a licensing program where a potential gun owner must be licensed as well as properly trained with a firearm before they may own one.
I'm not sure how one reconciles "fully supports" with the restrictions in the second paragraph. Politicians don't seem to have trouble with obvious logical impossibilities, but I do. Especially when they're this obvious.
I want to ask the good people of Alaska where they dug up this loonie, but they would ask me where we got Mr. Brownback, and I don't have an answer.
Update: After doing some checking, I found out that the people of Alaska didn't raise this goofball, they failed to stop him at the border. Turns out he's from (yup, you guessed it) Massachusetts, and he moved to Alaska specifically to get himself elected to the US Senate. He's no longer an Alaskan, either. Once they kicked him out of office, he moved back to a place that suits him better ... Arlington County, Virginia.
