Here's AL with a fancy medal:

He and his unit were shot to pieces defending a polo field, had to fall back and take cover in a leather-appointed cigar club that turned out totally unstocked with coasters or even ice.

Let me see if I can explain this.

There is a country, called America. It is located in North America.

Then there is the entire rest of the world.

There are people who believe America should make things right here. There are others who believe other countries should make everything.

I happen to be in the first group.

I think George W Bush is more in the second.

Prominent? Never even heard of this guy

Unless you were involved in Jeb Bush's presidential campaign, where Hoffman donated prominently, it's unlikely you would have heard of him.

By "Prominent Republican Donor" they actually mean a guy who gave millions to Jeb Bush (and maybe tossed a few crumbs to a handful of others).

Also, don't forget that Jeb's brother promised to renew the previous AWB that expired under his watch if Congress was willing to put a bill on his desk.

You can look these things up for yourself.

Now we know why the Bushes were chosen to represent normal Americans. Someone thought they could be bought.

Obviously, the boy has a problem with the Bill or Rights. People with huge sums of money usually do. The Bill of Rights is for the “little people”.

Fine. Let him keep his money.

This incident occurred (at least in part) because Left wing educators in Broward County didn't even inform the police department that this student had been expelled for bringing bullets to school, as well as a history of violent behavior.

On top of that, the FBI was too busy being weaponized against Donald Trump to respond to not one, but two different instances of concerned citizens who both saw something and said something. They reported this killer to the FBI as recently as January 5 of this year, and yet nothing was done.

And what does the Left think the "solution" is? No solution at all, of course. Anyone with a brain knows that this young man could easily have killed just as many people—or more—by waltzing in with a few handguns instead of a semi-automatic rifle. At least someone carrying a rifle can't conceal it very easily.

Go ahead, Democrats and GOPe: go after gun owners again—and get burned again.

A vote for Democrats in 2018 is basically a vote for civil war...

There is no greater validation of the 2nd Amendment than calls for gun control.

Eventually do as the Israelis have done, give anyone who has passed the proper tests a permit to carry concealed, such as teachers, guards etc. If one or the other of those mentally impaired kids decides to start shooting, just plain and simply shoot to stop whoever it is.

Irrefutable facts are, that our society is not getting anymore peaceful, if anything it getting more violent as time goes by, certainly not everyone but a good portion of it, brought about amongst others by the gradual disintegration of the family structure, partially helped along by policies on the left.

Next the second amendment shall not be infringed as it is a safeguard and a last resort against a government which has become too crooked and corrupt. Our forefathers were well aware of human nature and what power hungry politicians are liable to do or come up with. Not to mention that many of them have become politicians as they are too dumb to hold down a regular job. And as long as the second amendment will stand, even so the left hates and opposes it like the pestilence, politicians can not fudge or come up with excuses why you should not be in possession of a firearm.

Don’t say it can’t happen as we are right in the midst of it, where one department has become about as crooked as the next. Jjust one, the department of revenue collection IRS under Lois Lerner who decided to weaponize who gets audited or who will be refused any tax breaks etc. if they are of the opposing party. Even now after found guilty, she is still on the lose. Not to mention the DOJ or the FBI.

This is a slippery slope and unless someone puts on the breaks and manages to restore public trust something resembling a form of dictator ship is not impossible. In other words we the government will tell you to jump and all you are allowed to ask is “How high and how far” And this is where the second amendment comes in. The world is full of examples, first they come for your guns and next they come for what little freedom there is left.

I do not believe in glamorizing or idolizing guns as like many other weapon over eons have caused plenty of grief, but guns can be useful as a tool when applied and used properly to prevent even greater mayhem, and lets face it cops can’t be everywhere but an armed civilian could be and this is what the Israelis realized sometime ago. And lets face it, Israelis regardless what anyone may say, overall they are some pretty bright and intelligent people otherwise they never would have survived since the dawn of mankind.
