Presumably he only thinks white gun owners should be shot, because while he didn’t come right out and say so, were his “standard” to be applied as a condition of gun ownership for blacks, particularly if the cop doing the shooting were white, something tells me he wouldn’t approve. [More]Who wants to be this moron's huckleberry? Mind if he brings some friends from the Salon editorial staff along to help him...?
Two young teens, bored, with nothing going on during summer break, decide to break into a house "to see what it's like". What they didn't expect was that someone was home. [More]Tonight on "Stop the Threat."
Mary Anne Franks, another self-defense expert, urged lawmaker to reject the legislation. Franks is a law professor at the University of Miami who specializes in self-defense law and is also an instructor in Krav Maga, a Israeli form of hand-to-hand self-defense.
