I haven't heard any stories that indicate this, although we may never really know. Regardless it's a slippery slope that as a law abiding nation we probably shouldn't have gone down.

Yet another mess Obama inherited from Bush.

Nice to see a statement on a sunny Sunday morning that's based entirely on no facts.

It was a prediction, Spence.
It will become fact, like so many of the predictions about this nutty bunch you voted in.
