Meanwhile, Across the Pond in Sarah Brady Paradise...

Will there be a gun massacre in Ambridge? [Read]

Yeah, I know it's just a show, but it's one written to evoke emotional effects in its audience. And it does prove truth is stranger than fiction.

Because the real question is, if there were a massacre in a real village, who would be equipped to do a damn thing about it?

And we all know the answer to that question.

Hmmm. "The Archers."
Maybe a mass murder by longbow? There are still straight trees and string in Merry Olde.
In the event of a real massacre, one could, I suppose, drive one's Mini Cooper at the miscreant and hope for the best.

They could whup up on the shooter with some awesome cane fu.
In a world where even 2-inch Lego guns (POLICEMAN'S guns at that) will get you threatened with suspension from elementary school, and a Northern Virginia store clerk, attacked by a robber wielding a 6-foot STICK, defends himself with a CLAW HAMMER and loses, I guess cane/walker fu makes sense.
No, it doesn't. This is for the unlikely scenario that your perforated, bleeding assailant has somehow disabled your gun hand and knocked your pistol out of your weak hand.

"Is is true that under Sharia law, a man who converts from Islam to Christianity must receive the death sentence...?"

“First of all, I’d like to say that Muslims are not seeking the introduction of all the aspects of the Sharia law, particularly the criminal law aspects, in the UK. [The UK has 18 sharia courts so far. --D.] This is not a Muslim country and we’re not seeking to change or convert this country into one.
“However, Sharia law says that if a Muslim changes their religion it is treason and the punishment for treason is death. It’s interpreted as treason because in Muslim countries the law of the land is Sharia law, although at the moment **there is not one single country in the world which has full Sharia law implemented as civil law."**

That's no lie. There isn't "one single country." There are at least three added recently to the ones we already know, such as Saudi, Egypt, Libya and Sudan. The constitutions of "liberated" Iraq and occupied Afghanistan -- written with the aid of United States diplomats -- are only the latest to specify Islam as the official religion and sharia law as the legal system. Obama's cousin in Kenya is instituting sharia there, and Muslims in Dearborn, Michigan, want it.
So don't worry. They're not trying to change our ways, but if they were, they wouldn't be, because sharia law isn't followed ANYWHERE, really, even in all-Muslim countries where it IS the law but not really, but if it was, lots of people SHOULD be executed for thinking for themselves. The 53-lashes flogging of the Sudanese woman for WEARING PANTS? No, no. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time while that policeman was practicing crowd control techniques with his new-issue bullwhip.
