Well, Mr. Baldwin, you certainly put a lot of thought and time into that post.
Well presented and may you have a good 2011.
Politicians will need warning sirens when they move around. That way people can evacuate the gun free zones that move with the politician. It will also be helpful for assassins to know there will be no countterfire from armed citizens when they make their attack.
Oh, and to answer your two questions - No and Yes.
I agree, the Patriots beat the Jets in a blowout.
Several thoughts come to mind.
1. If the 1000 ft law is going to protect Congressmen/women then why shouldn’t the benefits also extend to the average citizen (I support the 2nd Amendment fully, BTW)
2. If we are worried about protecting the most vulnerable to shootings start by asking the following: How many Congress members shot and killed in the last month, year, decade, century. Now how many taxpayers shot in the last month, year, decade, century.
Obviously many MANY more taxpayers at risk so the extra security should be extended to the TAXPAYERS...NOT the already well-protected Congress members.
There are a great many rifles capable of consistently hitting a human target at 1,001 feet.
Not too many people strung out on drugs are capable of making the shot, though.
Personally, I don’t participate in surveys because I don’t know who I’m talking to. But I applaud your courage in engaging the caller. And yes, Jesus said the poor would always be among us.
If they really need a law; it should be this...no congressman is allowed to come within one thousand feet of anyone having a gun; in the event a congressman should break this law; they will be arrested!
Very Good Post
Now watch the polling reports over the next couple of days and see if you can find the one that called you.
