Let me preface what I'm about to say by saying Burress was a bonehead of the first degree in the incident in question.
But for the life of me I cannot understand why more football fans -- who, being more testosterone-driven and more pro-2nd amendment than the national average -- haven't jumped all over the insanity of this NYC law.
Oh, I understand NYers going for such a law -- this is the state that was first in the nation in welcoming with open arms the re-incarnation of reverse carpetbagging politics (i.e. our current stateless Secretary for foreign affairs and world "expert" on villages, health care, and anything else she wants).
But c'mon. Hell, if you are going to throw a guy in jail for carrying a "dangerous weapon" without the proper piece of paper, why the eff don't you throw all those New York drivers who daily put more people at risk on roads than Plaxico Bonehead will with his Glock or whatever in the rest of his partying life.
Frankly, every time I see a story about Burress I want to :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: the whole :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: :xcensoredx: East Coast.
But then i remember. Not to worry. There are plenty of East Coasters to do that :xcensoredx: to themselves.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:2 (NKJV)
