What does that mean, "bumpin the Beastie Boys"? Does that have anything to do with an overpowered car stereo?
If it does, maybe you'd better stay up there in New York state. There's enough of that crap down here already. :-) Listen to whatever music you like. Making <b>other</b> people listen to it too--especially just the bass line--is incredibly rude and obnoxious.

Maybe. There' s no intelligence test for making babies either...and the evidence is all around us.
Or buying a stereo, for that matter. :-)

BTW lax gun laws in PA (specifically the legality of assult rifles such as the AR-15) killed a Broome County Sheriff's deputy three days ago.

Obviously a *law* didn't kill anybody. Now let's look up what really happened, since you didn't provide an URL:
<blockquote>
KIRKWOOD, N.Y. -- A sheriff's deputy was shot dead Thursday possibly after confronting burglars who had stolen weapons from a Pennsylvania shop, police said.
Deputy Kevin J. Tarsia, 36, was shot in a parking lot in Kirkwood, near the New York-Pennsylvania border.
Just before the shooting, Pennsylvania police said someone used a pickup truck to ram the front door of Mess's Fireworks in a Great Bend, Pa., five miles south of Kirkwood. The thieves fled with rifles and handguns. The pickup truck was later recovered.
</blockquote>
And here's the store's site:
http://www.messfireworks.com/
It was a *fireworks* store, ferchrissakes; obviously catering to New Yorkers who would smuggle the fireworks back into their state, where they are also contraband.
I guess the Beastie Boys aren't loud enough for some folks. ;-)
I hardly think the perps ran a pickup truck into a fireworks store to steal *guns*. (Or fireworks, for that matter.) The reason you break into a fireworks store on July 5 is you're looking for *money*. If you want *guns*, you break into a *gun* store.
Evidently they did find some guns (and probably no cash, since you don't need a permit to carry cash). The guns were probably kept there to protect the cash from "visitors" from New York during the day.
So a smash-and-grab burglar runs home to New York, shoots a cop, and you're going to blame *our* "lax gun laws"?
That's total bullshit.
