TWIN FALLS, IDAHO
As 7 p.m. approaches, the high-desert sunlight lingers with a golden hue and 80 degree warmth, favoring the people who pull their vehicles into the downtown lot by the Lamphouse Theater. Disembarking and filing into the movie theater, they appear to be a Western cross-section: carefully stepping gray-haired ladies, a guy in an electric wheelchair, a few sweet little girls, the vice mayor, a toddler clinging to a mother’s shoulder, two doctors, and the inevitable guy wearing camo pants.
Collectively, they would seem to have little to worry about. All around them on this mid-June evening, Twin Falls prospers, grown up recently into a livable small city of 40,000 residents, complete with branches of Old Navy and New York Burrito and Cold Stone Creamery, nestled in productive farmland and authentic sagebrush. Sprinklers green the crops at city’s edge, emitting a comforting hiss that is music to desert dwellers.

Guns R Us: Is it time to re-examine the West’s extraordinary fascination with firearms?
Rather, is it time to re-examine the Left’s extraordinary hatred of firearms, and the liberties they protect?
Sorry for not posting a Barf Alert...
No examination necessary. The criminals have them, we need them. A new ‘vomit’ causing flashlight is not enough (flashlight is to be available soon to military, border patrol, and policemen). These will have to choose between drawing a flashlight or a gun..could prove fatal to them if the wrong tool is chosen. If I had to choose between a gun and a technologically wonderful flashlight, I would pick the gun. I hope the military, the border patrol and policemen are not just issued ‘magic’ flashlights.
Guns R Us: It is Time to Re-examine the West's Extrordinary Right for Citizens to Defend Themselves
You can leave a comment on the article. I did.
Ray Ring. Sounds like a gay porno actor.
New York Burrito? Does such a thing exist?
And last but not least, re-examine how they write stupid op-eds that start off with visions of happy go lucky sweet little girls socializing with vice mayors on perfect days where everyone has nothing better to do but gather at the local movie theatre and watch a western featuring two fags "finding each other" while camping in a tent one night...
Barf.
Don’t think I’ll be donating to HCN anytime soon.
Does this idiot get paid by the word???

How about a gun with a vomit causing lazer sight? :o)
Of, for crying out loud.
The author of this swill is all for the incremental stripping of a constitutionally protected right. There was a reason the Founders insisted on the 2nd Amendment, because they knew there would be grabbers like the author who would seek to disarm the American people, and put them at the mercy of thuggish predators and/or a thuggish government. As for crimes committed with guns (or knives, or baseball bats, or rolling pins, or rocks, or shoes...), the grabbers always seek to blame the inanimate object (as if those objects had the mindset and the will and the ability to act on their own) rather than the human behind it. Let’s face it: Gun control has nothing to do with protecting the people; but it has everything to do with rendering the people defenseless, and thus dependent upon, or at the mercy of those who DO have guns (i.e., the controlling power or authority).
A disarmed person is no longer a citizen, but is — at best — a subject; but, more likely, he is a slave.
Ray Ring is a sorry leftie nitwit, who ought to mind his own business.
To George Bush I say, get control of your ATF!
I’ll be back. I’m goin’ shootin’!
Yes, by all means, let’s reexamine them. I rarely need an excuse to get them all out and clean, polish, and examine my firearms.
Owning them wouldn’t be nearly as much fun if I couldn’t examine them!
I am not and will not be a subject or a slave. I am and will remain and will die a free man. That’s a fact.
bump for later
