Re: Re: Flash Mob NYC

As Mr, Charleston Heston said at NRA rally in Denver. " You will take
me camera away from me when you pry it from my cold dead fingers". As
the Secod Amendment states: A well regulated Militia, being necessary
to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and
bear Cameras, shall not be infringed.

LOL, or crying out loud.
