Our problems must be pretty small
If we have time to be insensitive, about every phase new or antique, and have people in high paying government jobs, taking time to, write memos, likely do power points, to explain how folks sensibilities are effected by certain words or phrases, then all the major problems of this country must be solved!
America was once of the strongest brashest countries in the world, we said what we thought and meant what we said. If some podunk country messed with us we sent in gun boats and the Marines, and burned them down. The rest of the world learned not to mess around when it came to the United States, but shortly after we changed the name of the "War Dept" (as it likely offended some of the liberals), to the "Dept.Of Defense", we also started adopting those warm fuzzies, adopting terms like compromise, worrying more about how we said something than what we were saying.
I think a good analogy would be my dog and her Frisbee, she loves it I throw it, she fetches it, and brings it and drops it at my feet, then she backs up and sits down and waits for me to throw it again, now the backing up and sitting down were trained responses, as earlier when I would reach for the Frisbee, she would rush in and try to snatch it, which resulted in my hands making contact with her teeth, so after some both stern handling and sterner language, she has learned to play nice. Then she tried to put a twist in the game instead of bringing me the Frisbee, she would drop it 8 feet away, I would go get it, throw it and then she would drop it 10 feet away, and so on, a few evenings of this and I realized I was compromising, and the dog was training me. So now if she will not bring the Frisbee to me I pick it up and the game is over she must go in.
Our government hasn't learned that, and they continue to play, but as the game changes, they play along, until they are the ones being manipulated, so afraid of offending or hurting some ones feeling.
Well this country was once one of the strongest countries on earth, as strong people with thick skins built it. So to all those sensitive people that worry so much about how they "feel" rather than getting to the tasks at hand, I can only say," UP Your's, you useless jackwagons!" and hope your panties tie themselves in double knots.
Unless you can prove we have really solved the more pressing problems of our nation, and if you can't the government can start cost cutting spending by firing all those appointed to sensibility jobs.

Survey shows
Hit Ratios for cops
On the Empire State Building shoot they pretty well, 10 hits out 16 shots, shame those dam bystanders got in the way

Big Protest
4 hold signs and 3 on the ground
I'd think if there was increasing public demand you could muster more than 7 people, OK, I'll give you 8 someone had to take the photo

How Ignorent
Trained officers shot 9 bystanders, is a reason to call for more gun control
95% of the cops, only shoot once or twice a year, to qualify, and that is it.
Of course I cannot speak for all armed citizens, but I can speak of my training, and I shoot an average of once a week, and the last exercise was at night, last Saturday with only car head lights lighting the range, and shooting only one target among 7, next week if time permits I plan to re-shoot the same drills, with strobe lights instead of car lights, the NYC couldn't sort out 9 targets in broad daylight.
Perhaps if the Police Chiefs, quit spending money on drones, and armored vehicles, and spent the money on actual firearms training, and I do not mean standing still on a flat range, incidents like the shooting mentioned above would not happen.
This shooting does not indicate we need more gun control, it indicates most gun toters need more realistic training.
Knowledge and skills will overcome ignorance
Comparing law enforcement and civilian training

So when are we going to pass laws
That keep weapons out of the hands of the mentally ill?
With licenses and background checks this could have been prevented, of course we might have to regulate pillows, so she couldn't have smothered him.

Or the 11,493
Could, have been killed in the same matter the other 5306
My generation found that a few bloody noses and bruises didn't kill us, we kept our kick balls, and we will keep our guns, thank you, wimp.

No Mass Stabbings???

I can find more if you like, there will always be crazy people and they will find a way to commit evil. So banning guns will not fix the problem, you'll just have a different problem. Carrying a gun is a good way to stop the guy with a knife when he shows up.

New Range Opening
In West Chester Ohio
Itis, isn't a real shooting range, but they will let you shoot Zombies
Simuntions are not cheap, so I would imagine this will not be an inexpensive night out, and they hope to launch a franchise business from here
It
What's the big deal?
Is there some surprise, that certain positions at NRA are paid?
So when are they going to post, the Brady's or VPC, or whoever they are these days?

He looks old enough to know better
James did you write your blog on a thing called the internet? When the Founders wrote the First Amendment, they were pretty much limited to quill pens, and cumbersome printing presses, they had no way to foresee the Internet, and I'm not sure they would have approved.
Fantastic Idea!
All of the Anti's should join the NRA and change it from within
Better to spend their money with us, and in the five years it takes to be voting member, they might get educated

So quoting Thomas Jefferson
Could deny your right to buy a gun?
right-wing lunatics: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants."
Well if President Jefferson was a right wing lunatic, then I suppose I am one too

A bit chapped
Back in January, during one of the brief cold snaps, my car battery died, so once started I went to National Tire & Battery, now it was not only the most expensive battery I've ever purchased, but they charged me like $15 to install it. Move up to yesterday, and I need to run to the Post Office, and the car is dead, flat nothing, not even a dome light. On lifting the hood, and doing a bit of looking find the positive post covered in corrosion, enough to make getting the clamp off more than a bit difficult.
Now when I go to the local Auto Zone not only do they install for free, they always ask if I want non corrosion rings when I pay for the battery.
Car is up and running, but it will be a very long time before I return to NTB.

Percentage looks impressive, when used in a small group
Report says gun control lowered "Firearms suicides", But fails to show a significant drop in Suicides overall,
Mexican Drug Lords
Cause harm in the US,, so what are you going to do to stop it?
In the name of the nearly 100,000 Americans that have died from drugs and of the victims of the many robberies, break-ins , and assaults in the United States, in the past 5 years, it is time to enact meaningful drug control legislation in Mexico

Twist and Spin
66% reduction in gun traces does not mean a 66% decrease in criminal use of a particular type of fiearm
Just fewer traces. They had an agenda, so they traced everything they thought they could call an "assault weapon", once they got their bill passed, no real reason to to spend time or money doing traces

E.O. in the making?
To limit ammo sales?
Now I know for some the value of free advice, isn't high. But I'll say the same thing that I told friends in 1992 when Bill got elected: Now would not be a bad time to stock up on things like ammo, and magazines etc,
