Man Takes Hostages in NH Clinton Office
Nov 30, 2:10 PM (ET)
ROCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - A man claiming to have a bomb was holding one or more hostages at Hillary Clinton's campaign office Friday, police said.
The man had what appeared to be a bomb strapped to himself, said Bill Shaheen, a top state campaign official. The two hostages were volunteers, Shaheen said.
Clinton was not believed to be in the office at the time.

http://apnews.myway.com//article/20071130/D8T861BO0.html

The news stated, that Hillary was very calm, during the ordeal, & why not? she wasn't there!
Let's see if this leads to calls for more gun control, after all she may claim there was an attempt on her life.................

If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves. — Winston Churchill

Say What?

Guns on college campuses would create chaos
"The truth actually lies polar-opposite with Students for Concealed Carry on Campus' claim. People can't fight fire with fire. Adding more guns to the equation doesn't create a more peaceful environment - campuses will instead be more prone to violence.Guns being permitted on school grounds could have detrimental repercussions, including accidental firings, gun thefts and an increased risk of violent behavior because of provocation by peers or professors.School should be a safe haven where students feel comfortable and secure; however, it's also a culprit of anxiety, experimentation and, therefore, impulsivity. Stress, frustration and guns don't make a mix to take a chance with."
http://media.www.thedailyaztec.com/media/storage/paper741/news/2007/11/29/StateofMind/Guns-On.College.Campuses.Would.Create.Chaos-3121474.shtml

The sheep are at it again, my response:

"FEELING" Safe & "BEING" Safe are two different things. Responsible armed citizens are not a threat to peace & safety. If they can continue to get weapons on airplanes, how are you going to keep them off of a wide open campus? They didn't need scanners at Columbine, they came in shooting. Scanners, cameras & written rules will not stop anyone who is determined to do harm, Period. Can you find a school shooting, that the police could arrive in time to stop them, before they had killed students? It takes seconds to dail 911, & the police are only minutes away, what will you do while you are waiting, beg for your life?
So how do you propose to deter a shooter?, & give the readers something besides "pie in the sky" ideas. How do you plan to handle an active shooter once he is in your face?

When dealing with a homicidal manic, perhaps the only choice is "Fight Fire with return Fire".

I love the title
Since they don't need more, how many do they have?
Since the article was posted without comment, mine are in blue Colleges do not need more guns on campus
We would all agree that this nation has seen its share of horrific moments where a person with a gun has taken far too many lives at high school or college campus.
No one wants to see that happen, and we all want our schools to be as safe as possible.


But, we are concerned about the recent news of a non-partisan group called Students for Concealed Carry on Campus.
More than 8,000 students nationwide have joined the group believing the best way to prevent such incidents is more guns.
The group is arguing that students and faculty already licensed to carry concealed weapons should be allowed to pack a weapon on campus.
Every state, but Illinois and Wisconsin allow residents some form of concealed handgun carrying rights.
But many states forbid license-holders from carrying weapons on school campuses, while in states where the decision is left to the universities, schools almost always prohibit it.
Utah is the one exception to that rule.
While we understand that many believe that carrying a weapon is a basic right of self defense, we are concerned about the idea of college students carrying weapons.
Most will argue that carrying guns is needed to protect against massacres such as what happened at Virginia Tech.
We're not so sure.
First, unless everyone is carrying a weapon, not everyone will be safe.

Not everyone needs to be armed to be safe, if arms were allowed everyone would be safer, the fact that some might be armed would likely deter an attack.
It will take time before the rampage is revealed and and the gunman found. That's why the police, never get there in time, & when they do arrive it's all over.
People will get hurt and while some may argue it would be less people, we're not so sure.Better leave everyone defenseless than take the chance of someone getting hurt.
A person wanting to inflict massive harm will find ways to do so unfortunately, regardless of the circumstances.
This is true, so since it might happen anyway, there is no reason to take any measures to stop it.
Secondly, we hope their aim is good. What happens if they hit an innocent bystander in the panic that such situations likely create?

That could happen, so it would indeed be better to keep everyone unarmed, so they have no choice but to be victims, I would much rather just standby & watch 32 people be executed, than take the chance one might get hurt, by my actions.
And, suppose they do stop the gunman. Are college students really emotionally ready to handle the idea of wounding or perhaps killing someone, even in a situation such as that?
Are any of us really?

No emotionally we are much better prepared to do nothing, & just say bad things happen, I'm sure most people would rather be killed or injured, than live with the fact that they killed a madman. You are right much better to die, than live with guilt. Although most people entering the military are the same age, what makes them emotionally ready to handle it?
While self-defense is a good idea, there are many other situations in college where a gun isn't a good idea.

There are many situations in life where a gun is not a good idea, but they are a great idea when you are being backed into a room & some crazy person is killing everything in sight.
College is an emotional time for students. There are also the issues of alcohol and drug use. In these situations, do we really want students having guns?

Life is an emotional time for people!, All these issues happen in the outside world too. That's really why not everyone needs to be armed, those that choose to do so, tend for the most part to use some common sense. I know most of the students leaving home for the first time are really just overgrown kids, but there are young adults that are far more mature than the majority. But the Staff is also prevented from carrying on campus, are they emotional also?
We've already read, or in our case covered, far too many stories where situations have gotten out of control and a weapon was used to settle a matter - in the worst way possible.

That's because they have not been allowed, so that's why you never see them used in the best possible way.
We understand that college students may be concerned for their safety and we would urge universities and schools to do all they can to make campuses safe.

Yes they should be safer, look at those that are licensed as just one part, of making the entire system safer. Remember it takes seconds to dial 911, & the police are only minutes away.


So for those that live off campus, they should give up their rights when they enter the universities?
We're just not sure that guns is the right way to go in this case.

Guns may not be the best, do you have a better one than prayer?

Carbon Footprints

From the Canada Free Press today: "You'd never read this in the mainstream media: The owner of MS Explorer that sank, leaving a huge carbon footprint at the bottom of the Antarctic Ocean Friday is an acolyte of teensy-weensy carbon footprint crusader Al Gore. G.A.P. Adventures CEO and Explorer owner, Bruce Poon Tip and Gore have similar ideals, 'filling their schedules with speaking engagements on environmental change to educate global audiences.' And that’s straight off of their website. In fact, as recently as last April, both Poon Tip and Gore gave presentations at the Green Living Show in Toronto. 'I expressed my admiration for Mr. Gore’s commitment and leadership which spans more than 20 years,' commented Poon Tip. 'I also invited him aboard our legendary polar expedition ship, the MS Explorer to visit the Arctic.' The legendary polar expedition ship... 'had at least five faults at its last inspection,' according to Greenpeace spokeswoman Bunny McDiarmid. 'Maritime records show the MV Explorer--'" anyway, it was a bunch of eco-warriors. I was exactly right. There were 154 passengers, and a lot of them were eco-warriors, and they were out there doing a global warming cruise.

But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...

COLFAX TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - A man says he shot and killed a neighbor's cow after mistaking it for a coyote.

Authorities and the owner are skeptical.

WHITEWOOD, S.D. (AP) - If the Rev. David Baer has his way, the Whitewood City Council will change the name of one of the northern Black Hills town's streets.

Hooker Street doesn't quite lend itself to a family atmosphere and is offensive to some residents in the town of about 800 people, according to Baer.

It's actually named after a Union general from the Civil War, but Baer said that even renaming it to General Hooker Street might not be much better.

Shot several S&W MP's this weekend, with the rebate & extra mags it's not a bad deal at all.

Also looked at a Springfield XD Tactical, it was a bit more than the MP but I have a standard XD so the Mags holster etc interchange

Also looked at the FN FNP, which was about the same price as the MP after the rebate, & they are offering a holster deal till the end of the year.

As is common in Japan, Aichi police reached their verdict on how Saito died without an autopsy. No need for a coroner, they said. No crime involved.

Quote

"A gun cannot harm anyone unless there is a human being to pull the trigger. Ten million guns would be harmless unless some human became stimulated by hate, greed or prejudice. So the gun controversy becomes a spiritual problem. While strict gun laws might have some effect in showing the world that we are concerned about the problem of violence, violence is really a thing of the human heart and conscience. If men harbor the desire to kill and maim, they will find a way, guns or no guns"

Prepared to protect his country
From Yahoo:
Captain Hamblen "recognized that the Guard was woefully unprepared to fulfill its duty if called upon to act as an armed force." Guardsmen historically have provided their own weapons. The captain proposed to provide his battalion with at least a few machine guns. He acquired and repaired nine of them. Then he stored them in a concrete safe at his place of business in Nashville.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucjk/20071107/cm_ucjk/oncemoreintothebreach

His intent was to protect his fellow guardsmen, & his country, sounds American as can be, but the powers that be do not want people who are motivated, who can think on their own, who will take action, who will be prepared.

Even In our Nations Capital the use of "Extreme Vehicles" is out of control

Over forty nearly killed, She was said to be laughing, as she plowed into the helpless crowd at over 70 miles per hour, some 20 minutes earlier she had assaulted a police vehicle!
There may well be a question if the police need better vehicles to stand up to those extreme vehicles that are being used in these attacks.

It's not only the question of what the big 3 auto makers are producing, but what about those cheap overseas imports? When is the goverment going to step in & pass stronger car control laws? I'm not against people having cars, but there should be conditions, limits, common sense car control laws, background checks, how much blood has to flow, before the madness stops?

In 1914 they did not have assault cars!

Yes some were injured, but no one could forsee the terrible future, of todays "Extreme Assault Vehicles"

With todays high performance assault cars, there are many deaths & more injured
Look at this U-tube video:

Look at this one: Police told CNN at least 40 people were injured, 14 of them critically. You see people on stretchers, on gurneys right now, right there.

How many have to die? How many have to be hurt? before something is done about the car control loophole?

Yet we let the Madness continue



Six die when car runs into crowd
5:00AM Tuesday June 19, 2007

The car makers know this is going to happen, & they seem to promote it! The car ads sell performance, but who pays the price? It's time for these companies were held libable for the actions of their products, If it saves just one child, just one life...

Perhaps some car control laws??

Pregnant Woman Killed in LA Brawl

Nov 6, 10:53 PM (ET)
By JEREMIAH MARQUEZ
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A pregnant woman who had just returned from her grandfather's funeral was killed when another woman deliberately rammed her car into a crowd during a street brawl involving about three dozen young women, authorities said.

Here is another: http://www.lasvegasnow.com/Global/story.asp?S=7101555
We have to do something about these lax car control laws!

I guess she is an anti


"You may keep your guns, with my pleasure, I can think of no better solution to the problem of overpopulation."

The rest of her opinion are here:
http://ladyjaynestahl.blogspot.com/

So do I read into this that she wishes our deaths?
I have been around guns all of my life, & I've really been around a lot of gun people for nearly 20 years, & not one of the gun owners I have ever known has ever been killed, nor have any of them ever killed anyone else.
When the people that wish for gun control, come up with a way to control outlaws, with out stepping on my rights, I will listen, BUT as long as they write ramblings that paint law abiding owners the same as criminals,( Then call foul when they are called on it, and feign ignorance "a writer whose greatest crime is her naivete" Should one attack another group if they have no knowledge of the subject?) I will fight them every step of the way.
She wants to attack gun owners & the NRA, but now admits she does not know what she is talking about.

Breathtaking Abuse of the Constitution

Joe Arpaio, Andy Thomas and Dennis Wilenchik hit New Times with grand jury subpoenas

So if US Law Says...


"The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age..." -Title 10, Section 311 of the U.S. Code.

Does that not mean we are to armed in kind to the regular Army?
A black rifle (AR15) in the same caliber as the Army, & a 9mm sidearm?

Just think this is what they want in the America, I think they have become one with their sheep. To punish people for defending themselves, punishing people for protecting themselves, might as well turn the whole mess over to the crooks, but I digress

Can you say Duh!


A Superior Court judge says relatives of a woman who died last year as part of a murder-suicide in Lyndonville can seek punitive damages from the family of the man who killed her. The case is the first of its kind in Vermont.

From the gunguys:
But that doesn’t mean that individuals and families who embrace gun ownership can necessarily escape liability.
http://www.gunguys.com/?p=2617

Same article, It's just what the NRA has always said: hold the actors responsible for their actions, just because you own a gun does not excuse your responsibility.
I would be very surprised if there is a single gun owner out there that thinks she has some special protection under the law from liablity. But the maker of the gun should not be held responsible, nor should the gundealer, if he followed the law.
We punish drunk drivers, we don't sue Ford or Chevy, or the Beer company, or the bartender.

Crime "ON" Campus
Note the key word ON campus. Of course there is not likely a single college student out there that spends all of their time on campus. Many neighorhoods that surround todays colleges are not really high rent areas, & they are not real safe areas.

The right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against tyranny, which though now appears remote in America, history has proven to be always possible. — Senator Hubert H. Humphrey

Not NRA, Not Brady



A 2003 Gallup/NCC poll found that 68% of Americans believed that the second amendment protects a right to keep and bear arms. Only 28% believed the Brady interpretation. Most constitutional scholars these days have rejected that interpretation as well.

Enough said!
