Where in all that do you see "gun control" money or are we reading things in that aren't there cause I sure as shit don't see one word about gun control.

Methinks you are looking for "ghost in the machine"

Agreed. I think the closest thing would be monies for the BATF for Project Gunrunner. Still don't see the gun control money.

Let's say that that Senate bill that passed today has the possibility of providing lots of money that could very easily be used for gun control, without being created in such a vapid fashion as to specifically earmark anything for the purpose.

Oh come on now! Have you joined the ranks of the tin foil hat club? This BULLSHIT stimulus bill is nothing more than throwing good money after bad ... let's not read more into it than there really is.

While we don't agree often I never thought you would jump into the tin foil hat BS

I'm not ramming a tin-foil chapeau down over my turban just yet, thank you. I'm simply saying that the spending allocations have a lot of nooks and crannies for things that might not bear scrutiny were they otherwise labeled with more care and exactitude, that's all.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to watching my sector of the night sky for unnumbered black Bell Jet-Rangers skimming along in whisper mode, thank you.

By the by, here's some 4:3 aspect ratio wallpaper for all you rotary-wing aviation nuts: http://www.pulsarmedia.eu/data/media...0Wallpaper.jpg
