Yet another good article on guns that will never, ever be seen in the mainstream media.

[RollingThunder]

This article hits right to home. About the only news source that I see using it is Fox News.

excellent read!

Still, the mad sniper apparently felt safer in disarmed DC

This guy thoroughly wrecks his credibility by centering his article on a gross factual error. The mad snipers committed precisely ONE murder in Washington City, in an area where (on the ground) finding the DC-Maryland border is difficult. The bulk of the murders were committed in Maryland, which although subject to eggregious victim disarmament laws is far from being gun-banned DC. The rest of the murders were committed in Virginia, which is a shall-issue CHP state.

Good read!

Good article. Food for thought. Brings other variables into the kill/no-kill decisions.

What a incredible read!

The best part has to be, "Productive people are mere game animals, trophies for criminals, tax cows for the “official” parasitic class."

Even purely defensive body armor is viewed with suspicion and fear by a government which is terrified that it might not be able to shoot its citizens.

And THAT is the real reason to prohibit body armor.

However this is the mindset of the 'professional' white-collar bureaucrat class in the National Capital Region. I live in Fairfax County where the Parks Authority has stated it will defy a state law specifically banning such organizations from restricting licensed concealed carry in its parks. This act is being hailed as one of great courage by the buroclass. Nothing terrifies these people more than the notion of individual responsibility and self defense. Thier vision of the world is one in which every action is governed by a set of complex standards and mandated codes for which their is an equally complicated code of sanctions for violating. These people see themselves as the writers and administrators of such a code driven regime. When the sniper was striking the persons most thought to be likely suspects were white (mostly) building trades types (plumbers, electricians, ac/heating maintenance, etc). Why? These were persons who combined some of the most undesirable characteristics to the buroclass. Generally non-college educated white males who worked independently with hardware and equipment with no one to check up on them. They also probably enjoyed hunting, fishing, football and NASCAR. These are guilty men to the buroclass and the most likely source of the sniper. Of course now that it has been proven the snipers were minority, Muslim, anti-American drifters with one an illegal alien the buroclass has shut up about motivation and background of the snipers. Yes, while Virginia still has pretty robust 2nd Amendment rights its no thanks to a large group of highly self-regarding college educatd white collar bureaucrat class members in Northern Va.

Surely the best line was "medieval Okinawan rice flails are illegal to carry in a state that has let whole neighborhoods be taken over by rioters."

I live in Fairfax County

Gee. That makes us neighbors! (Check my profile page.) I've also lived in PG Co., Maryland. There's a huge difference between the two, and even more between even PGCo (former home of Parris Glendenning) and the District. Manassas isn't like Fairfax City, either. Yeah, there's lots of weenies here, but far from all. You have FRmail

Anybody have a response to the above? I don't know anything about the area, but is it possible the surrounding metro has more gun restrictions than the rest of VA or MA? From what I've read, conceal carry does have an overall effect in reducing mass killings, but I don't know about snipers. I believe these guys gave zero thought to local conceal carry laws (and how those laws might better help citizens to stop them).
