The director of the FBI is not happy with the Supreme Court's recent handgun ruling.
Robert Mueller says he tends to believe that "weapons harm people, and more often than not they harm the people carrying them."
Mueller said the high court's decision, which threw out a handgun ban in Washington, D.C., "does throw a lot of things up in the air."
Mueller said communities will now have to decide their own licensing programs.
Mueller was speaking at a convention of the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators in Hartford, Connecticut.
He says with his grandchildren going to college, he hopes "those campuses will be weapons-free."
Thanks for the ping!
He should be fired on the spot!
You can take it as an insult if you wish, but this story was heavily covered by some of the best investigative reporters, and the key piece of evidence on the plane itself was the seat upholstery next to the hole that the missle made was loaded with propellant residue of the type used on expanding rod missles.
The eye witness accounts and video of the missle flare were pretty convincing too.
It was either the Navy, or a terrorist. My money is on the terrorist.
You sound like a cover man with the silly strawman questions that you post. We’ve had so many federal cover-ups that this one just lands in the pile.
Actually it is a natural right that existed before. Our right come from God not man. :)
Not intending to offend just wanted to point that out.
Joe -
I have been carrying weapons most of my life and I am still here. According to him my days are numbered. I don't believe that however.
That's what I was thinking. BATFAG's and the FBI were incinerating harmless religious kooks long before this ruling came down, so I don't see why he thinks we're going to be in any more danger now.
That is the point of a weapon in the first place. Where do they find these people?
That is what most where made to do. Mueller is an idiot at best.
Like VA Tech?
He needs to find a new job...in a new country.
"...The average homeowner has murdered fewer citizens than Lon Horiuchi, Bob-O..."
Actually, the average homeowner has murdered fewer citizens than Ted Kennedy and Gary Condidit, combined, as far as we know to this point!
The point is that we are forbade the knowledge of what actually happenned!
We know that Teddy Kennedy drowned Mary-Jo Koppekne in his Oldsmobile, waited 8 hours until he called his lawyer, then had her buried, and he got a misdemeaner-traffic ticket for her death.
When an autopsy was demanded, Teddy had Mary-Jo dug-up and burned-to-a-crisp! Teddy has a brain-tumor now - ROT-IN HELL, YOU SON-OF-A BITCH!
Shaundra Levy got dead in DC. The DC Police checked everywhere many times, with dogs and stuff, for six months, including the exact location where Shaundras' remains were eventually found, but there just wasn't any evidence left - just bones!
The DC Police exist to protect the politicos in DC.
It'll take pitchforks and flaming torches to clean the bastards out of OUR Capital, boys-and-girls!
Guess the USSS will have another go at me ................ FRegards
A simple static discharge is what caused an apollo craft to explode at Kennedy years ago. Seems a covering tarp came loose in a storm, blew in the wind and touched the spacecraft causing an explosion. I think they were having a dress rehersal at the time.
It is possible, I just don’t trust the F.B.I. at this point.
Why did the ntsb not call upon any of those who saw and insisted they saw a rocket hit the jet for their testimony?
A coverup?
Also you know that B52s are what thirty years past their demise date.
And you know how through these jets maintainence schedules are.
I also know that the folks at Boeing were furious with the findings. They felt the feds were trying to cover up for the feds incompetence.

George Killen , the State Police Detective-Lieutenant who investigated the accident, said that Senator Kennedy "killed that girl the same as if he put a gun to her head and pulled the trigger."
Gary Condit and Chandra Levy.
She was found in an area searched twice by police.
Hillary's billing records; Obama's "birth certificate".
We need a "change" away from Democrats in positions of power.
A man this stupid has no business as the head of the F.B.I.
GRRRREAT thread! Thanks to all posters.
Yeah, let’s hope we accept our pain and rebuild the right way and not become a loose cannon of a nation. We are exporting inflation on a massive scale and global resentment, blowback is building. First things first, we must take care of our own citizens then repair relationships globally.
If I may before I go, please consider the following:
A few weeks ago, National Geographic showed a documentary on the conspiracy theories about the moon landing. They showed one of the conspiracy theorists footage of how they had demonstrated that some of his "proofs" that we didn't land on the Moon actually meant bupkis, and photos that proveed that the stars wouldn't have appeared in lunar photos, even though he had said that the stars should have been there.
His response? He laughed. I'm sure if they made a cartoon for him, he would have said it deserved and award for "best comic animation." Another guy "proved" right on camera that a spacesuit glove allowing an astronaut to work in a vacuum was an impossibility. So, of course, having "proved" that, he also believed that NASA's proof of the landings was "laughable."
I'm sure that if we made an animated film showing 9/11 Truthers how the WTC could have collapsed from jet fuel fires and how a 757 could strike the Pentagon and leave a relatively small hole, they would call it worthy of an award for "best comic animation."
One of the problems with conspiracy theories is that when you decide there's a grand conspiracy at work, all evidence contrary to your thesis, no matter how valid, becomes laughable.
You sound like a cover man with the silly strawman questions that you post.
LOL! Yeah, I disagree with you about the cause of this mishap, so I MUST be a government agent! Gee, is there also a Red under your bed and a little yellow man in your head?
And strawman? I ask about THE COVERUP and the condition of the AIRPLANE (you know, the AIRPLANE you say was destroyed by something other than what the people involved in THE COVERUP say destroyed it) and that's a strawman question?
Why are you unwilling to estimate how many people would have to knowingly be involved in this coverup? If there was a coverup, this would be a basic fact that is eessential to the case. So let's hear it: Make an estimate--and be sure to sure to include the sailors who would be involved in the naval shootdown scenario.
Unless you're scared that discussing actual facts of the case might make you look silly...
You’re correct (and thanks for having an open mind, mon frere) that it was a static discharge or other low-voltage spark that killed the Apollo 1 crew. They never did determine the exact cause, and even the crew’s suits may have been putting out enough static energy to light a fire.
