Shootout on Capitol Hill

As high noon approaches on Wednesday, when Parliamentarians will vote on the future or non-future of the Long Gun Registry, the plaintive voice of Steve "Quick Draw" Harper can be heard echoing over Capitol Hill:  "Do not forsake me, oh mah MPs, on this our votin' day-ay..."

Sheriff Steve and Deputy John "Deadeye" Baird are ready for the verbal shootout.  "We're sticking to our guns," said their spokesperson.  "We'll go gunning for the Opposition.  We know that they're gun-shy."  

Jack "Call me Shane" Layton laughed.  "The Long Gun Registry is good fer this territory and it's gonna stay.  I'm afraid those ol' boys are jest gonna have to bite the bullet.  

"We ain't," he declared, "about to turn Capitol Hill into Boot Hill."
