"Many people I know fear guns, even more so than they fear criminals.

They know the guns are animate, possessed of an eeeeevil spirit. They just sit around waiting for the chance to load up and start blasting away.

[thulldud]

I know that, actually. I was making a feeble attempt at humor.

Not that I have anything against humor: gallows humor, feeble humor, or any other kind. If I can't get through the day laughing, I can't get through it at all.

I'm still irked that no proper pathological exam was made on Lee...they probably would have found that he just blew a gasket (aneurysm), but they would also have found that he was taking somebody else's prescribed medication to cover up the pain. So the whole thing was swept under the bathmat. :-P

"All that's missing on that sign are some ten-ring target-practice shots. Maybe a handwritten note saying, "At 50 yards, in the dark."

Funny you should say that. I used to leave my practice shadows leaned against the outside door. I know it was a deterrent!!!

You know that area where the heart is? Yeah.. that good!!

:o)

After the attack, Drexel put the gun in her hand in a failed attempt to make it appear to be a suicide, the prosecutor said.

What a nitwit. Yeah, if I ever commit suicide, I'm going to slash my tires and kick in my own door first.

[Bella_Bru]

Her 911 call should have gone like this:

Hello? 911? Yeah, you need to send an ambulance. My psychotic ex is here, and I SHOT his ass. I am ok because I was smart and chose NOT to depend on you to defend me, but took it as my own responsibility and exercised my 2nd Amendment rights and defended myself.

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks for the good comments and suggestions.

"Who speaks for the dead in Chicago? The Daley family"

And why not...they vote for the Daleys.

Stop the attacks on our God given Rights by the extreme wacko left !!

The Right Of The People To Keep And Bear Arms Shall Not Be Infringed !!

An Armed Citizen, Is A Safe Citizen !!

Not only do the cops not protect us, they are covering up the lousy job they're doing.

"We need to examine what we can do to prevent that kind of occurrence in the future. I'm asking them to investigate it."

What you can do is REQUIRE every able bodied adult to own at least one handgun with 100 rounds of ammo and one Rifle with 500 rounds of ammo. THAT is what you can do to prevent this.

SEVENTEEN MINUTES!!!!!!!!!

I'm so glad guns are outlawed in Chicago.

And of course the government drones blame the victim.

"The lady's demeanor was very calm and she was conversational. She didn't say anything in the call that indicated she was about to be bodily harmed. She said he got in with a key. There was no indication that he was kicking in a door. Because there was no weapon on the scene, that might have had something to do with it," he said.

[Joe Hadenuf]

As our so called leaders continue to hold open the door for millions of illegal aliens with one hand, while writing new gun laws, in an attempt to disarm legal, law abiding citizens, with the other hand.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Joe, I suspect that if people put up articles on recipes, you'd work in an illegal alien quote.

Please include me in your gun pings too. I bought my first gun a year ago and now I'm very keen on Second Amendment issues.

[jjm2111]

That's me: urban male. I had to jump through a lot of hoops to become a gun onwer, but now I think "Where would I be w/out one."

NJ is one of those states where the rabble aren't allowed to defend themselves.

[jjm2111]

and furthermore, I tell none of my friends, that I own guns.

[spunkets]

" "The lady's demeanor was very calm and she was conversational. She didn't say anything in the call that indicated she was about to be bodily harmed. She said he got in with a key."

Typical CPD response, lies and BS. The lady was only calling 911, because she was lonely, needed someone to talk to, the psychic hotline was busy and her estranged was boring.

[jjm2111]

You ever think how unweildy (sp?) even an 18-in shotgun would be in a cramped city apartment? Unless handguns were illegal, I would think a pistol would make a better weapon.
