When "Only Ones" Collide II

As if all that’s happening on the streets where crime is concerned is not enough, senior officers in the police force are going at each other violently.
Naturally, nobody was arrested for assaulting a police officer. I guess their special "Only Ones" powers cancelled each other's out...

Philly Criminals "Make NRA's Day"

A bloody crime rampage over the weekend left three men dead and nine others wounded.

The slayings, which raised the city's homicide rate to 354 for the year...
NRA's "Project Exile" is sure living up to its promise, wouldn't you say?
"If you're a felon out on the streets of Philadelphia today, I dare you to carry a gun," Heston warned. "Because if you do, you will go to prison. No plea bargain, no discussion. Just a cold, hard federal prison cell. So go ahead -- carry a gun on these streets. To quote my good friend Clint Eastwood, `Make My Day'."
They're running scared now...

We're the Only Ones on Trial Enough

Jackson Mayor Frank Melton begins the fight for his political future in Hinds County Circuit Court on Tuesday in the first of several trials.

The first-term mayor will be prosecuted on three gun charges - one felony and two misdemeanor [sic] in two separate trials - stemming from accusations he carried handguns onto a school campus, public park and church.
As we've observed before here at WarOnGuns, Hizzoner is one of the Bloomberg Burgermeisters intent on disarming everybody else, and he led the charge to ban gun shows in Jackson. Plus, he's already been let off the hook by TSA for carrying on planes, when the rest of us would be rotting in a federal pen.

Welcome to the world of the non-"Only Ones" that you helped create and impose on the rest of us, Herr Mayor.

Sucks, doesn't it?

[Use BugMeNot to bypass site registration]
I understand that everyone has the "right" to own a weapon but I have not yet seen, in the 26 years that I have been involved in crime prevention, anything "good" about having a gun in the home.
Carmen Caldwell doesn't tell us how many violent crimes she's prevented, or what she's personally prepared to do if she witnesses one in progress--aside from dialing 911, assuming the attacker doesn't get to her first. I wonder if the fact that there's a funeral director on the executive board has anything to do with her idiotic assertions, or if "Citizen's Crime Watch" will assume a financial liability if anyone follows her ignorant advice and gets hurt or killed?
