One hardly needs to read past the first line, huh?
At the moment all the sacred sniper profiles have fallen by the wayside and the government is beginning to wake up to the fact that these snipers are part of a foreign military force.
No revision of any gunlaws could have stopped this.
No doubt Carolyn McCarthy voted yesterday to continue appeasing the terrorist dictatorship in Iraq.
Can we send her someplace where she can't hurt us anymore? Frankly, I don't trust her around the kids.
Summon the garlic and the holy water. Break out the crucifixes and the wooden stakes. Once again, something evil stalks the night.
I encountered so many gun owners who after 9/11 told me that "gun control was dead" in this country and who thought me either stupid or paranoid for telling them that gun control will never be "dead" to the anti-freedom forces in this country.
I am profoundly sad to see that I was entirely correct.
I LOVE this...gun grabbing liberals sat that it's SOOO easy to get a gun at a gun show. I defy them to try! If it was so easy, don't you think one of these news magazine shows, ie Dateline, 20/20 & the like, would have an investigative report? Something like..."guns are so easy to get at these gun shows that we took our undercover cameras & purchased these 5 guns yesterday".
But they don't....WHY? Because it can't be done. That's why. Hey, liberal media..PUT UP or SHUT UP. I'm sick of it.
Okay, I feel better now. :)
Well Gee Lady, duh!
Every notorious shot since JFK's has been by an extremely disturbed individual. Since the formulation of the drug "Haldol", the crazies have been wonder down our main streets in various states of reality. When we come to terms with mental illness in this country, crank-up the mental hospital once again, we will all be safer.
This isn't a problem for the NRA, it's a problem for the NAP (Nat. Assn. Psychiatry).
Interesting idea! Reminds me of Carlos Hathcock's stalk of the top Vietnamese sniper.
Hold on here....
Why in the hell do I need a NATIONAL PERMIT to exercise a right provided to me in the Bill of Rights (part of the Constitution)??
It was, of course, ignored.
Excerpt:
The civilian sniper culture is fed by the gun industry, nurtured by a fawning gun press, and disseminated through an array of commercial media enterprises. Industry advertising, favorable gun press articles, books, motion pictures, videos, video games, posters, and even tee shirts promote the sniper mystique.
The subculture even has its own cult figure, the late Carlos Hathcock, who as a Marine sniper in Vietnam was credited with the longest confirmed kill in history. It defies experience to believe that this blizzard of violent fantasy will not effect the greater society.

Instead, why not a national effort to train young people about the utility of firearms and the real meaning of the 2nd and the Constitution. Responsibility, not BS. These morons are the handmaidens of tyranny; their stupid, assinine approach is like trying to stop people from sitting on the needle in the haystack.
There is no f-ing way that any more gun control BS is going to stop the occasional, random nut or the fanatic muslim/terorist from carrying out acts of violence/terrorism. The only way to afford some protection from these things is with a well-armed populace. It won't always work, but if 20% of the citzenry carry, then that will spell out a powerful deterrent to the vermin and scumbags that now prey on us at whim. Some of them will think twice before sliding up to the ATM customer and demanding money. There sure as hell won't be any more Long Island railroad killings, nor any kind of crime on any mass transit conveyance. I don't know how these people like McCarthy can be so stupid. The only other answer is that they have some other agenda in mind, once the country is disarmed.
