#1 And no body wondered that the freakin' bear weighed so much? The gun had to add, what, four pounds, and make a really hard and dense place in the soft, cuddly bear.

#2 So Teddy was packing heat. I am so sick of the FBI and the TSA hassling citizens who are not interested in crashing airliners into buildings. Have you heard there is a second amendment, and we have the right to bear arms? Regardless of the idiotic gun laws passed in the last hundred years, there is nothing in the Constituion that gives the Feds purview to infringe on my rights (and I'm not talking about hunting or target shooting!)

I am sure the TSA and Gestapo like Homeland Defense will milk this for all it is worth. However, remember that if you fail to exercise your rights, they will soon vanish.

Finally, if citizens had had weapons on 9/11, then there would have been 19 dead dirt bags and 3000 fewer casualties. Think about the next time someone wants to ban guns from schools or anywhere else - soft targets are easier to hit.

Sorry about the mini-rant.

#3 Chuck, the story says that the gun was inserted into the bear through a half inch hole. Sounds like a baby automatic or one of those tiny revolvers, I forget the make. It would only add a few ounces. They don't say how big the bear is either.
