Same with NY and a certain Giant who shot himself. The idea that any American goes to jail on a first offense for bearing arms or negligent discharge of a weapon that only injures himself is ridiculous.<br /><br />Ten miles away in Virginia the worst Arenas would face is a fine for improper storage or the like. Gun possession is malum prohibitum no malum in se.jjvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04223110296462634454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19078641.post-23929410755830397662010-01-13T03:10:04.566-05:002010-01-13T03:10:04.566-05:00Nov. 19, 2004.

Fists fly, beers fly, chairs fly - it's ugly. Artest is suspended for the rest of the season (~ 70 games and over 5 million in salary).Powaqqatsinoreply@blogger.com
