Another shockingly stupid statement from a lawmaker.  This time it's a State Senator in Colorado.  Meet Democrat Jesse Ulibarri.  At a committee meeting, he said that ballpoint pens can be used to fend off gunmen.  He even said that Jan 8 victims were saved by people in the Safeway parking lot because they took down Loughner with ballpoint pens.  Yup, ballpoint pens to take down gunmen.  Plus, he said another non-violent way to stop a gunmen is to way until he has to reload before taking him down.  You can't make up this stuff.
