Notes from the Resistance...
This save-yourselves approach comes after government agencies were overwhelmed by pleas for help after last year's storms and strongly criticized as not responding swiftly or thoroughly enough to the public need.It's official.
Graham is a part-time security guard who brought his gun to the game and passed it around to everyone and pretended to shoot at each other with the gun...Sounds like a pretty compelling reason to disarm you and me, doesn't it?
A former top bureaucrat says political expediency - not sound accounting - was the key factor in a decision to fudge a report to Parliament two years ago on the cost of the federal long-gun registry."Fudge."
A Cook County judge sentenced two men to 2 years' probation on Tuesday after they pleaded guilty in connection with smuggling a handgun into Cook County Jail in February.Let that be a lesson to the rest of you real criminals. Now if you'll excuse us, we have some slav...uh... "law-abiding citizens" to disarm.
A young Salina police officer responding to a business burglary about 11:20 p.m. Friday accidentally fired her weapon when she was startled by movement inside the building, Salina Police Chief Jim Hill said Tuesday.I can't tell you how many holes I've put through walls, family members and neighbors every time I've been startled. But hey, it's a normal reaction. What can you do?
On this day in 1775, the committeemen of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, meet and respond to news of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the first battles of the American Revolution, with a series of 20 patriotic resolutions.
Rochester police and members of the clergy will be working out the final details this week to launch a citywide gun turn-in program at five churches on Saturday...My first thought: I wonder if Deloris is related to Homer.
"Most of our killings are caused by guns, and we're saying enough is enough"...
[Rev. Deloris] Simpson said many parents and grandparents know youths in their homes are carrying guns...
"In order for this to work, we have to have buy-in from the community," [District Attorney Mike] Green said. "If we only get one gun off the street Saturday, it'll be a successful day because that's a gun that might have been used in a homicide."
On this day in 1806, Revolutionary war veteran and future President Andrew Jackson kills Charles Dickinson in a duel.
An elderly Sydney couple are recovering after being brutally clubbed with a gun butt for the sake of a few dollars...The 76-year-old woman and her 82-year-old husband were punched and battered with the gun at their boarding house...the attacker burst in and marched him inside to find his wife...He then punched the woman in the head, knocking her down, before striking her, then her husband, with the butt of a sawn-off shotgun and running off...with the woman's handbag, containing a small amount of cash.Well the Australian government was certainly nowhere to be seen when the attack occurred, and what chance does an elderly couple have against such an assailant?
[W]e will find any means we can to further restrict them because I hate guns. I don’t think people should have guns unless they’re police or in the military or in the security industry. There is no earthly reason for people to have...ordinary citizens should not have weapons. We do not want the American disease imported into Australia.How are those taxpayer-funded armed bodyguards working out for you, Prime Minister? Thank goodness being an official makes you and your agents immune to gun disease!
[New Jersey Rep. Joe] Saxton is generally an opponent of gun control, though he has only a B-plus rating from the NRA.I can't trust anything Daly writes to be accurate, but just in case he's right on this one, it does bring up a question I've asked before:
The safest house is one with no guns, public health experts agree.Boy, that Sandra G. Boodman can parrot citizen disarmament propaganda with the best of them, can't she? And leave it to the WaPo to present this as news, rather than an editorial page opinion piece.
What percentage of the people in your studies who injured or killed themselves or negligently/wrongfully injured or killed others using a firearm, were NRA members? Since this is one of the most heavily armed citizen populations in the country, don't you think knowing this would be relevant to factor into your conclusions?Why not take a moment and compose a question of your own?
The Navy Cross is presented to George Codrea, Second Lieutenant, U.S. Marine Corps (Reserve), for extraordinary heroism and courage as Platoon Commander in the Second Battalion, First Marines, First Marine Division, during action against enemy Japanese forces in the Solomon Islands, August 21, 1942. When it became necessary to reinforce the firing line during the heaviest fighting against a Japanese landing force of about 700 men, Second Lieutenant Codrea, coolly and with complete disregard for his own safety, placed each man, individually, in a position to deliver the most effective fire. Though wounded twice during the battle, he remained on duty with his platoon until ordered to retire to the aid stations. His outstanding leadership, determination and inspiring fortitude throughout the engagement were largely instrumental in stopping the most serious enemy threat.
SPOT AWARD, Serial 18 (CofN Signed March 18, 1943)
A POLICE force which lost a £500 bag of drugs during a sniffer dog exercise have now admitted they may have lost a gun.Wonder which "lost" item proved most lucrative?
In a new public service announcement, actor Michael Douglas, a United Nations Messenger of Peace, spotlights the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons and promotes an upcoming UN conference aimed at addressing the problem.I said about all I have to say on this reprobate here.
