Political contributions in the US bring bick buck$ to the politicians.
I remember that in Canada, the rules are much different, where a contribution cap has been imposed. There is talk of doing this in the US, but for now, it's strictly on a voluntary basis.
It certainly would be nice if our politicians showed the same integrity as journalists (the good ones) try to have.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss, CyberSamurai. I too will refuse to have a gun in my house, and in fact, I insist that my stepchildren don't play with toy guns either (may be overboard, but that's me!)
My stepson wanted a dartgun (CO2 cartridge) for christmas last year, and I had no problem saying no.
I also lost a friend at the Montreal University shooting, some 10 years ago, at the hand of a gun wielding maniac.
