It would be a great comfort to me to know that at least one Freeper who has negligently continued their subscription to this rag has now cancelled it.

Extinction is the only cure for this pestilence. They must be starved out like cockroaches.

I think this is also the case in Houston.

"Yep, I have seen married felons and other unprosecuted felons given the guns by judges."

Didn't the judge through them in jail then for "being in possession" just by the shear fact that they are in the same house? I have been told that if a felon is even in a house with guns and the cops catch them, the felon is sent away.

"Sure, the Hezbolla dude went to Michigan to buy a gun to smuggle into Lebanon."

From what I understand of that case, the guy was living in the US (naturalized?) and was going to gun shows to buy guns and sent them to family members in Lebanon. The family members then dispersed them. The guy had supposedly sent a couple of .50 BMG rifles (Barrett type) already and was supposedly looking at another to send off. I have a feeling that if the guy had not been middle eastern (I think 9/11 hadn't happened yet) and looking at the .50 he would not have raised any suspicion.

>>I seriously doubt that any of those Stoner pattern rifles are "assault rifles". (Can you tell me why?) As they are USA made, NONE of them are "assault weapons"<<

Right technically, WRONG ideologically. Any normal hoplophobic gun-grabber (almost redundant) would point to both and say that every gun that looked that lethal should not be allowed, indeed the reporter from the KC (red) Star wrote from the assumption that was the case.

This fact proves my point: the gun-grabbers are reacting emotionally and not logically to this issue. My plea is to not fall into using their definition of words, for the meaning of words defines the debate.

I just love those pix! My thanks to Model1Sales.com for having them.

Not so in liberal judges America. If the guy or gal is to their liking, they will even expunge charges and guilts before.

Stroke of the pen, kindacool, done all the time.

It's the paper trail, not the truth.

That, sir, is a slur and insult to the Nazis who died fighting their own liberals, appeasers and Communists.

We've got an example of just that sort of action right here in Indiana, in the case of a convicted drug felon and international drug smuggler who got caught by Customs and the Postal Inspectors trying to smuggle a shoebox containing more than a thousand pills into this country via the mail. Arrested by state police, the local prosecutor dropped the charge to felony possession, to which he plead guilty. The judge then delivered a misdemeanor sentence, of 180 days, suspended, plus a $163.00 fine and court costs. That was in 1992; a couple of months ago he passed his certification as an Indiana Police Officer, at which job he is now employed as a university cop.

The editor of the campus newspaper, Brooke Baker, began an investigation into the reputed payment of a $3000 bribe to the defendent's laywer, the prosecutor and the judge in the case. In September of 1997 she was found murdered and raped, and though she feared a university cop who was her landlord- and may have been a possible source of some of the information she had on the bribe- was a suspect, those details were kept from court testimony used to convict a scapegoat then used to *wrap up* another unsolved murder. Neat.

And hereabouts, we have a pretty good idea that not only our courts and the justice they dispense is for sale, but for how much.

Ignorant Kansas City RED Star reporter misquoting and lying as usual for that newspaper.

The Kansas City RED Star is anti-gun. Period !

They never let the truth get in their way of bias reporting.

Another story you won't likely hear from the KC *Red* Star is an accurate report of the June 17, 1933 *Kansas City Massacre* in which wounded FBI agent F. Joseph Lackey, using a borrowed shotgun managed to instead kill his prisoner, Frank Nash, then fellow FBI agent R. J. Caffrey, driving the car, and McAlester, Oklahoma, Police Chief Otto Reed, riding in the rear seat with Lackey during the attempt to free or silence the prisoner.

Equally interesting: the death of the two Kansas City detectives, W. J. Grooms and Frank Hermanson, accompanying the prisoner's transfer back to Leavenworth, who, once the shooting began, reached for their own Thompson guns usually kept in the Detective Bureau car that they were using. To their horror, the guns weren't there, and they died from the attackers fire. Which may well have been from the guns removed from the Detective Bureau car, rented out for the occasion by other cops also on the payroll of those of the Hot Springs mob who wanted Frank Nash out of the cops' hands, or dead.

The FBI version that *Frank Nash and Chief Reed were killed by bullets from the hoodlums' guns* was unfortunately not supported by the K.C. autopsy, which found buckshot from Lackey's shotgun in Nash, Chief Reed, and Agent Caffrey. Despite FBI attempts to suppress the documents, copies surfaced. From this experience came the legislation that authorized the arming of FBI agents, as well as Director Hoover's insistance on establishing a *laboratory* that could scientificily examine evidence* to then pronounce that embarassing incriminating evidence didn't come from FBI weapons.

And there was one other result: FBI armories were then equipped with Winchester Model 12 and Remington Model 31 shotguns, and NOT the Winchester M97 riot guns used by Chief Reed and Agent Lackey...which could be pumped with their trigger held back, resulting in rapid-fire blasts pretty hard to control while sitting in a car seat with your elbow shot away.

Damn...

no word of that in the media either.

I once brought up a story of corruption in town, and the local paper seemed either embarassed or fearful of publishing my story

They simply watered it down to a case of "the courts proceeding too slowly and defects in the system" or something to that extent and bull crap.

There are huge confederate and corrupt powers in our judicial system in America, it's unbelievable. They have the power to officialize anything and anybody they want.

People are dumb enough to believe them too. Plenty of churches full of lawyers unfortunately who make friends with professionals who dare not criticize each other afterwards.

These people do not have a life anyways.
