Newly elected (from the new Kadima Party) Israeli Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, has ordered the completion of the West Bank security barrier (about half of which has been built) to prevent entry into Israel of those who would do them harm. Hmmm.

After breakfast with the boys, I went to the gun show (where nearly everyone was signing the no money to illegal aliens petition) with several members of the unaffiliated bloggers of the Denver metro area, heavy on the libertarian side. Before we wandered separately about the place (it's tough to stick together at the show--everyone's interests are different) we solved many of the pressing problems for our country. We all liked the "high fence, wide gate" proposal of Thomas Friedman. I'm firmly in the fence first camp Hugh Hewitt backs. We had a consensus that you needed a permit for carrying a concealed nuclear weapon and 16 year olds (and older) should be able to buy a belt fed, full auto weapon at the local hardware store with only the sales receipt as the paperwork surrounding that transaction (I'd let 14 year olds).

We decided to go shooting a few weekends away. Doug Sundseth suggested that Tony Sokolow could be the guy who goes down range to change the targets (just kidding--we all like Tony). David even bought a gun in preparation. Imagine that, buying a gun at the gun show. I haven't done that in years. I did buy a clip that didn't actually fit my gun. Oh well.

Oh yea, and the security fence at the southern border of our country would also help us to enforce our immigration laws. So it's a double win.

By the way, are those Mexican flags in the photo above? I can't see them clearly?
