Hmmm not always. Some people can smuggle guns in the US and sell it in black market and there will be always guns, laws or not.

Then what they do? Gov't wasting $$$$$ for wars on the drugs, just like
Prohibition as alcohol in 1920s.

STOP SMOKING! Obama will NEVER team with Hillary at all. If it comes down to Hillary vs. McCain - I'm voting for McCain. I'd like McCain to team with Condoleezza Rice as VP. If it's Obama vs. McCain - I vote Obama. It'd be nice to see Obama + Edwards.
My political view is Centrist but I have more conservative views than liberal such as strong gun rights, low tax, etc. I'm on liberal view to support gay rights, stronger federal oversight on corporations, and some others.

My feel that either Hillary or Obama vs McCain. John McCain will win anyway. Because US aren't ready for either woman or America-African. Maybe in 8 or 12 years later, they sure will be ready to take next step.

My local news said that nothing has been determined except that she is manuevering herself to hopefully be selected for VP.

Obama declares nomination victory
Obama declares nomination victory
Barack Obama has declared himself "the Democratic nominee for president of the United States".
He was speaking to a cheering crowd on the last day of the primary season, as projections showed he had earned enough delegates to clinch the nomination.
Of the states that voted, Montana was won by Mr Obama and South Dakota by his rival Hillary Clinton, US media say.
In her own speech to supporters, Mrs Clinton refused to concede and said she would make a final decision later.
If confirmed as the Democratic presidential nominee, Mr Obama would be the first black candidate to be nominated by one of the major US parties.
BBC North America editor Justin Webb says a fabulously well-planned and executed campaign helped give him the edge over his rival.
Role for Clinton?
Mr Obama's speech was delivered in St Paul, Minnesota, where Republicans are set to hold their presidential nominating convention.
DELEGATE COUNT
Winner: Needs 2,118 delegates
Total delegates: Obama, 2,154; Clinton, 1,919
Super-delegates: Obama, 389; Clinton, 282
South Dakota and Montana (early results): Obama, 15; Clinton, 13
Source: AP projections at 0430 GMT on 4 June
Defiant Clinton weighs options
Crowd lifts Obama
Obama speech: Full text
In the address, he paid tribute to Mrs Clinton and hinted that she would play a role in any future Obama administration.
"What gets Hillary Clinton up in the morning is an unyielding desire to improve the lives of ordinary Americans," he said.
"When we finally win the battle for universal healthcare in this country, she will be central to that victory."
Mr Obama also praised Republican rival John McCain's "many accomplishments", although he accused the Arizona senator of choosing to deny his own achievements.
Speaking in New York, Mrs Clinton congratulated Mr Obama and his supporters "for all that they have accomplished".
But she said she was making "no decisions tonight" about her continued presence in the race.
She later spoke to Mr Obama by phone, and he repeated an offer to "sit down when it makes sense to you".
Mr Obama's campaign said she responded positively, though no meeting was expected on Wednesday.
Mr Obama will be tempted to offer Mrs Clinton some inducement to play ball, but may also be tempted to be rid of her and her husband and to strike out on his own, Justin Webb reports.
Primaries over
Earlier, she told congressional backers that she was "open" to the idea of being Mr Obama's vice-presidential running-mate.
Hillary Clinton: 'I will be making no decisions tonight'
Mr Obama was only a few delegates short of the 2,118 needed ahead of the polls closing in South Dakota and Montana.
And although he failed to win in South Dakota, he had managed to pick up enough endorsements during the day from the remaining uncommitted "super-delegates" - party officials with a free choice over who to support - to pass the winning post as soon as polls closed in the state.
His projected victory in Montana added even more delegates to his tally.
In South Dakota, with 99% of the state's precincts reporting, Mrs Clinton was winning with 55.3% of the vote, to Mr Obama's 44.7%.
Before the voting was complete, Republican presumptive nominee John McCain delivered a speech to supporters in Louisiana, in which he declared that "the primary season is over, and the general election campaign has begun".
He attacked Mr Obama for being "the wrong change", and defended himself against the Obama campaign's criticism that he will continue President Bush's policies, saying he had "not seen eye to eye" with the president on many issues.

Do you really think Hillary take Obama's offer? I saw him "hug" and "whisker" her on TV news yesterday.

The ONLY reason Clinton will accept the VP position is to avoid paying $20 million dollars she borrowed (and spent) for the Democratic primaries.
tells you something doesn't it?
