Junior puts the NRA ahead of life itself.
Yahoo reports Junior's latest move opposing ballistic fingerprinting. This is a citizen-unfriendly, sniper-friendly nod to the NRA, who has an "alliance" with the Bush Dynasty:

Sen. Herb Kohl, D-Wis., and Rep. Robert Andrews, D-N.J., are among those in Congress trying to pass legislation to create a national system [of ballistic fingerprinting]. The National Rifle Association and other gun-rights lobbyists oppose such a system, fearing it is one step down a path to a national database of gun owners.

How about a database of van owners? Oh, we already have that. Vans don't kill people, van drivers with unidentifiable guns kill people.

Bush, too, is resistant [to ballistic fingerprinting] as long as he has questions, Fleischer said.

As long as he has questions? I picture the inside of Junior's brain as a soup of bobbing question marks. Ballistic fingerprinting answers more questions than he could ever construct.

Meanwhile, while we wait for Junior to clear up his questions, nearly one person per day is dying....
