Contrary to the sentiments of the leftists (who all but run this country) against gun ownership, we need more than ever to legalize conceal and carry in all of the states. This is war and we need to protect ourselves.

There's no doubt about that. And there's probably a good reason why Switzerland is one of the safest places in the world. Every able-bodied man is apparently armed and a member of the reserves, to be called up at a moment's notice. (At least that's what I've heard.)

I believe they are just waiting to be cornered by police in one of these traffic jams that the cops are setting up in hopes of capturing them after they strike.

Well, unless there's another murder in the next day or so, I'm thinking they're not going to risk it again, now that the media has broadcast far and wide the use of this surveillance plane over DC. It was a mistake to let that information get out, it should have been done quietly--now they may have stopped at least for a while.

I do think though that if these are thrill killers, that they will be compelled to kill again. If these are terrorists, then they can wait, and won't be driven to more shootings till they can be sure of getting away with it.

In fact, he says martial law in some cities or states is a real possibility if attacks get out of hand. And he believes most Americans will accept it in exchange for a promise of security...

Accept marital law? Instead of being able to protect ourselves? What are we coming to?

Moore said he believes the "main event" to what's happening in D.C. "will come when we attack Iraq."

Exactly, Saddam will open 2nd fronts here and in western europe if we invade. He's counting on the resulting domestic problems in those countries to curtail the war and bring about their demise. Saddam is capable of projecting power and we're about to see it in action.

And he believes most Americans will accept it in exchange for a promise of security – though he says that kind of dramatic response would be used as a last resort because it would hamper business and commerce, making the fragile U.S. economy even more volatile. ]

Hmmmmmmmmm (reaching for the tin foil hat)
(passing out the guns and ammunition)
looking though slats in window blinds....Hmmmm.
farting.... (excuseing self)

"Moderate" American muslims had better start packing their bags if this starts breaking out.

We're not going to sit back as one by one "moderate" muslims go berserk.

We won't tolerate a 5th column among us smiling on Monday and sniping on Tuesday.

Interesting, but I heard on the radio this morning that the "Palestinian" sniper that shot 7 Israeli soldiers last year was really an IRA sniper that they brought in. The Israelis never caught the guy, but intelligence said he was an Irishman since no Palies were trained marksmen.

They should be far out of proportion to what is levied against us.

Yes, yes, yes!

This is, of course, one of the classic goals of terrorism: to have the existing government impose such draconian restrictions upon its own citizens that they begin to hate or fear it and long for a change.

Straight out of the book. Americans, and particularly American "conservatives", are incredibly ill-eductated on the threat.

Shootings to spread to other U.S. cities? You can bank on it! Especially since the mediawhores have hyped it to such a height, increasing the fear factor. But let's put it in perspective: during the same time period that these American citizens have murdered by a shooter(s), how many people have died on the highways in Northern VA and Maryland?... Or better, under 'normal' circumstances, how many traffic fatakities would occur during the same time period?

No, no, no. This is not about terriorists. It is all about gun control. Gun control would stop all this. You know that, the libs say so. You know if we just got rid of all the evil guns and conservatives who harbor them. GD Democommiecrats suck.

Vans are very convenient way to schlep around explosives...

We must have VAN control! Ban the Vans!

It's gotten to the point that any rifleracks in pickups rarely have any long guns hanging in them because of all the PCBS.Looks like about time for everyone to fill them again and the PCBS can go square to Hades.

My daughter was telling me just last week that someone has a riflerack out that mounts on the roof of the cab where the guns aren't apparent but are still readily accessible.It might be a good time to look into these overhead racks and I'll ask her where she saw them later tonight if nobody else knows offhand.

I've got an idea we're in for a rough ride and the better prepared everyone is,the better.

"If you must go to another city, go to Berserk-ley. They will nab you with their all-encompassing understanding!"

Impossible. Berkeley has already been declared a "sniper-free zone".

Like I said before - deport the muslims not only for OUR safety, but for THEIR safety.
