It doesn't matter if they were all using. This is a matter of control, plain and simple. If you think that they play by the same rules that the rest of us subjects do, then you are fooling yourselves.
I've been a member of a gun board community for quite a while now and we've run into the same thing time and time again. Hell, if I had to guess, they probably don't even know what they're voting on. Sen. Carolyn McCarthy, one of the largest anti-gun proponents in .gov was asked if she knew what a barrel shroud was, since she had it listed in HER bill to ban as an evil feature (It's just the front part of the stock that keeps you from burning your hands on the barrel) and she thought it was "that shoulder thing that goes up". :wtf1:
It doesn't matter that the senators and reps have bodyguards that carry guns, they're more important than the rest of us and above the rules.
Like I said, it's all a matter of control and that some animals are more equal than others.
Sorry for all the gun stuff on AM, it's just that there are so many parallels I could draw that it's maddening.
Oh, and PS, I love this site. I've been looking at trying some ph or ds and from all the great posts and feed back to people's questions, I've been able to intelligently (I hope) put together some orders for when I'm ready to cycle in the future. :cheers:
