If you want to think a person in a hurry and on the run can't get away in ten minutes, that's your right. I happen to know that in ten minutes at 60mph you can be 60 miles away. Must be that NEW MATH!
To: Travis McGee
Yes, we certainly are. No logic, just hysteria. If you own a gun or a white van, you are the sniper...

I honestly don't know which would have to be suspended, but I know there is historical precedence. Face it, life will not be the same post 911, or won't be for a long time.
Common sense says you have to take difficult steps to root out the enemies when they are in your midst. But, if we are going to successfully win this war, the discussion cannot be limited by those who would say that, a-priori, we cannot and will not change any part of our lives. We will perish if we don't respond.
For the record, I don't believe that a suspension of the 2nd amendment is negotiable, because at that point we are abandoning the ability to defend our lives by our own efforts.

Sheriff says the wife thought it was a backfire of an automobile. Victim is stable - serious.

ROFL! My embarrassed apologies. Drowsiness is affecting my brain -- it's definitely bedtime. My point is that in ten minutes at a fast speed the sniper has eluded the roadblocks that came 10+ minutes later. With that I am taking my non-fuctioning brain to bed.

Now those are Virginians!

Well, to be fair, one could dismiss that incident, the Japanese sub that shelled a refinery in California, and the Japanese balloon bombs that started fires and killed some people in Oregon as trivial exceptions.
But, Pearl Harbor, and Attu and Kiska (both captured by the Japanese) were all US soil, though not part of the "lower 48" and not states at the time they were attacked.
However, having our CAPITAL burned by a foreign power without doubt is certainly fighting a foreign enemy on our soil; there were a number of large battles on US soil in the War of 1812 in New York, Ohio, Michigan, Louisiana, etc.
Also, there was the raid by Pancho Villa coming out of Mexico, on Columbus, New Mexico, killing quite a few people. 1917 IIRC.

I-95 and every road into and out of Ashland is now open.

Listen, if you guys come here to get into a p*ssing contests, we're not interested.
We all care enough about this country not to stand in the way of a POLICE HUNT to stop a guy who is KILLING Americans.
If you don't, stand on your feet.

I happen to know that in ten minutes at 60mph you can be 60 miles away.Would you care to re-do the math on that?
To: ExSoldier

I prefer "he who figts and runs away, lives to fight another day..."
That, and "Never get captured by the women" are my philosophy... ;0)
