Did I pass the test? And if so, does it mean I'm a liberal? (My
liberal credentials have been under constant threat of revocation
lately). (But don't get too excited, the conservatives don't want to
have anything to do with me. They find me lewd and mischievous.)
I don't see the parallel between gun permits and marriage certificates.
But I do think it would be dangerous to issue them in some sort of a
buy one get two free arrangement. Some things benefit from not being
too easy. Getting married, becoming responsible for children are some
of them. Killing with a car or a gun is too easy. Killing should be
hard.
If your point is about whether or not the Mayor has the authority to
issue permits... How would I know? And since he hasn't tried to do it
in Minnesota, why should I care?

the squishy stuff! (I'll stay close the exit and away from the boiling

Outstanding- the best liberal test I've heard this week-
If the Mayor of San francisco felt he had a moral compunction to issue
anyone who wanted one a handgun permit- would you support what he was
doing?
