Rick: The gun lobby strikes again. Roland: Well, I'm sure it's a safety issue. Rick: Yea, probably. Mr. Speaker, I wonder if you could explain your opposition to the chemical taggant provision of the president's anti-terrorism bill... Won't taggants just help law enforcement source the gunpowder used in bombs? Bomb / Gingrich: Wure, if you trust "law enforcement". But this anti-freedom bill could also lead to FBI storm troopers confiscating pipe bombs from citizens who need them for personal protection. Do you want to live in an America that restricts the rights of the legitimate, law-abiding sport bomber? The N.R.A. doesn't, and neither do I! Rick: Sir, will you be taking the whole party over this cliff? Bomb / Gingrich: Yes, we think it's another winner.
