Here ya go Katie, all you have to say is. “The right of the people to keep and bare arms shall not be infringed.”

The agent, instead of ROTFLing all over the place, kept his composure and just said “yes ma’am”.

Sounds like the Admiral who,on being told by some low IQ Rat Congressman that he (the Congressman) feared that Guam would tip over if too many of our military are stationed there,just said "we don't anticipate that happening,sir".

She’d get it wrong and make the freudian slip of “Only the ‘right’ people shall not have their entitlement to keep and bear arms not infringed upon.”

“Deconstruct” is nothing but trendy code for reinforcing Leftist delusions.

Per DOJ Statistics, between 1976-2005 blacks represented 12% of the population yet accounted for 52.2% of all homicides committed.

Wonder if that will be in her report?/s

Wonder if this little factoid will be in her report?

Dispelling the myth of the “wild west”

In his book, Frontier Violence: Another Look, author W. Eugene Hollon, provides us with these astonishing facts:
•In Abilene, Ellsworth, Wichita, Dodge City, and Caldwell, for the years from 1870 to 1885, there were only 45 total homicides. This equates to a rate of approximately 1 murder per 100,000 residents per year.
•In Abilene, supposedly one of the wildest of the cow towns, not a single person was killed in 1869 or 1870.

Zooming forward over a century to 2007, a quick look at Uniform Crime Report statistics shows us the following regarding the aforementioned gun control “paradise” cities of the east:

•DC – 183 Murders (31 per 100,000 residents)

Baltimore – 281 Murders (45 per 100,000 residents)

Newark – 104 Murders (37 per 100,000 residents)

It doesn’t take an advanced degree in statistics to see that a return to “wild west” levels of violent crime would be a huge improvement for the residents of these cities.

The truth of the matter is that the “wild west” wasn’t wild at all … not compared to a Saturday night in Newark.
