The main hope now is that lawmakers will find a way out of the impasse before the damage to the economy gets much worse.

  12. Gun mania

    Happy days are here again for the makers and sellers of guns and ammunition, and why not? There's nothing like a good school massacre to really move those Mausers off the shelves.
