The Left's previous agenda was to agitate for the elimination of The Star Spangled Banner as our national anthem, because it is too "warlike." (We suppose they don't enjoy the reminder that freedom isn't free: Fort McHenry holding out under English bombardment, you know.) Given the Left's (especially the gun controllers') response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, it looks like they think our national symbol, the Bald Eagle, also is too warlike, and they'd like to suggest the following replacements.
Ooohhh, that beak and those talons are just tooooo violent... and don't get us started on those arrows it holds in one claw. Lose the arrows, keep the olive branch. This from the city of Berkeley, California, which enacted (4-3) a resolution to oppose U.S. military action in Afghanistan. We are not sure how this sheep digests its food without an intestine but we know it is gutless. As mammals, sheep are vertibrates, but we suspect that this variety is spineless as well. Governor Gray Davis just enacted legislation to restrict firearm ownership even further. This will doubtlessly help terrorists slaughter Californians like sheep should they choose to do so. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Barbara Boxer (D-CA) also want to compel Americans to be easily-slaughtered sheep.
The Million Mom March and Brady Campaign (also known as Handgun Control Incorporated), and Violence Policy Center, all of which are still agitating for gun laws to make it easier for terrorists (and violent criminals) to kill law-abiding Americans should like this one: the yellow-bellied white-livered rabbit. "Run away and call 911." (1) You can't outrun a bullet, and thugs who hijack airplanes and send anthrax through the mail don't obey gun laws. (It's illegal to possess anthrax, let alone mail it, isn't it?) (2) The innocent people called 911 on September 11, look where it got them. (Those who ignored the Left's advice and fought back on Flight 93 saved others and, although they didn't save themselves, they had a lot more chance than the people on the other three planes.) The invertibrate annelid or, as it's more commonly known, the belly-crawling spineless worm. An ideal mascot for the American Jewish Congress,  Robert Corlin's American Medical Association, Doctors Against Handgun Injury, Physicians for Social Responsibility, and Union of American Hebrew Congregations, all of which are agitating for laws to disarm Americans. (To the two Jewish groups: didn't you learn anything from 1933-1945, or from Israel's history? Let's try it again... freedom isn't free. Now try the Hanukkah story, most Jews learn it as children.) Also Charles Schumer and Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Richard Daley (D-IL), Parris Glendenning (D-MD), Ted Kennedy (D-MA), Senate Majority Leader Thosama bin Daschle, and Joseph Lieberman (D-CT) apparently agree with the terrorists that there should be more gun control for law-abiding citizens.
