so in a few days pennsylvania will shut down it's gun database. they use the database to check and see if you are allowed to have a gun before you can buy it. so for 4 days in 2007 people won't be able to buy guns.well and as the article points you, you can buy a gun, but you can't take it home with you till after the system is back up and running. so this morning i was listening to the local am station and they were talking about this whole issue and apparently people are freaking out. i guess the shutdown is going to hit during dove and canada geese season (they have a dove and canada geese season?!?!?!?!) so this morning people called into the radio show to talk about why they were pissed. so of course the one guy i hear talk decides to go the slippery slope route- if it's 4 days then next time it will be 4 months! and the radio guys were like, look, don't make that argument it makes you sound like a raving lunatic. and the guy says fine. and then makes the same exact argument for 5 more minutes. sigh. now this guy said nothing about the hunting season this will infringe on or anything like that. just 'it's our right and you're taking it away for 4 days'. i mean really. come on, it's 4 freaking days!! give it up! if you really need a gun in those 4 days, go to a gun show and buy one illegally off of a guy in the parking lot. you'll still get your weapon, and really if you neeeeed it and can't wait 4 days, you probably weren't going to do anything legal with it anyway, so why do you care.
