...Which, Oddly Enough, Tastes Like Chicken

"President Clinton's so-called 'assault weapons' ban was nothing more than a sop to antigun liberals," Otter said Friday in a written statement. "It provided only the illusion of reducing gun violence, but it did real damage to our liberties."

But advocates for the ban, including the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, point to some particularly vicious shootings in which military-style weapons were used — including the 10 killings in the sniper shooting spree that terrorized residents in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C., in 2002.

Anyone who knows anything about America knows this: It is the want of ways to kill ourselves with firearms that prevents us from fulfilling our potential as a free nation.

Now that that horrible weapons ban is done with, I gotta' tell you, the sun shines brighter, the air tastes sweeter.

It tastes like freedom.
