Strickland Shot Through Door

Law enforcement officers may have fired through a front door Friday night as sheriff's deputies and University of North Carolina Wilmington police officers attempted to serve an arrest warrant on Peyton Strickland in connection with the Nov. 17 robbery of two PlayStation 3 game stations from a UNCW student...

"Some of the bullets went through intervening targets, probably the door," Garrett said. Both bullets that struck Strickland passed through him into the house, he added.

That's Quite Some Collection

According to Abraham, there are 100 million illegal guns floating around the city, most of them stolen.
According to Cousin G, who sent me this link, "With a population of just under 1.6 million, there are therefore almost 63 illegal guns for every resident of the city..."

Don't you just love "authorized journalists," you know, the folks who are supposed to question and investigate government claims, the way they blindly accept every "official" utterance as Gospel and follow in lockstep with the agenda...?

We're the Only Ones Not Prohibited Enough

The City Council is looking to pass an ordinance that would prohibit anyone but police and fire marshals from bringing guns onto city property.
Because we have proven time and again here at WarOnGuns that only "The Only Ones" are professional enough...

With Friends Like These

The friend of a college student killed by New Hanover County sheriff's deputies posed with guns in photos on the Internet.

That made authorities think they would be at high risk when they entered the Wilmington home shared by four people.
A picture of a "friend" is all the pretext they need.

And that made them shoot Peyton Strickland when he was unarmed, and kill his dog for good measure.

This story is a real turnaround and bears further watching, because previous accounts had Strickland named as the alleged thief. According to this, it was Mills, and he didn't even live in the raided house.

Make no mistake--government fears an armed citizenry. It scares the hell out of them. What further proof do we need?
