Why is the Nevada state capital in Carson City now
aswarm with Democrat gun-grabbers, who--like the scorpion in the old folk tale, who stings the frog as he's being ferried across the creek, dooming them both-seem intent on committing political Hara-Kiri over this issue, even after Bill Clinton warned them this is how they lost control of Congress in 1994?
