The Boxer Rebellion in China did not end well, for either side. But then when you think about it, ..”conflicts” of any description, ..never do.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of Americain Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘Common Sense Concealed Firearms Permit Act of 2011’.
SEC. 2. CONCEALED FIREARMS PERMITS.

Prognosis: Just 3% of all Senate bills in 2009 – 2010 were enacted.
Cosponsor: None.
Personal Curiosity: Isn’t anyone out there familiar with the term; “RED HERRING?”
A red herring is a clue which is intended to be misleading, or distracting from the actual issue. For example, in mystery fiction, where the identity of a criminal is being sought, an innocent party may be purposefully cast in a guilty light by the author through the employment of deceptive clues, false emphasis, “loaded” words or other descriptive tricks of the trade. The reader’s suspicions are thus misdirected, allowing the true culprit to go (temporarily at least) undetected. (Source Wikipedia)
Prognosis: In (my considered, albeit “humble” opinion,) ..lying, ..via (misleading) information (Red Herrings) is unacceptable, regardless of your political affiliation or agenda.
The sky has been around forever, ..the sky is not falling, ..nor is it scheduled to fall in your lifetime.
Think about it, I’ll be back tomorrow
