RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolina has received a 'C' on the Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence report card.

Rachel Smith, co-President of the North Carolina Council of The Million Mom March says the fact that there's no law mandating locks for all guns sold in the state probably contributed to the lower grade.

ROTFLMAO!!!

Thanks for the link. My state of Kentucky got an "F". I'm so proud!

[William Terrell]

Alabama gets an F!

Is it smart for a goverment to give a gun permit to a person that wishes to kill married couples for what they do in bed?

It looks to me that North Carolina made the right choice.

Not only did I get the permit. I don't need a permit to carry in North Carolina.

G.S. 14-269 (Carrying a Concealed Weapon)

Does not apply to:

(5) Sworn law-enforcement officers, when off-duty, if:

a. Written regulations authorizing the carrying of concealed weapons have been filed with the clerk of superior court in the county where the law-enforcement unit is located by the sheriff or chief of police or other superior officer in charge; and

b. Such regulations specifically prohibit the carrying of concealed weapons while the officer is consuming or under the influence of alcoholic beverages.

LEO's are not subject to the many restrictions that private citizens are. I have wrote legislators here in this state and tried to get CCW reform to remove some of those restrictions on citizens.

You see, most officers have the attitude that those restrictions don't apply to us, so who cares about the citizens.

I however believe that citizens have the right to carry firearms. So that they too should have the same rights as LEOs.

So why don't you go smoke some more pot then come back and talk when you know what you are talking about.

Secondly Citizens DO NOT have a right to engage in sodomy.

"Man, considered as a creature, must necessarily be subject to the laws of his Creator, for he is entirely a dependent being....And, consequently, as man depends absolutely upon his Maker for everything, it is necessary that he should in all points conform to his Maker's will...this will of his Maker is called the law of nature. These laws laid down by God are the eternal immutable laws of good and evil...This law of nature dictated by God himself, is of course superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times: no human laws are of any validity if contrary to this... Sir William Blackstone

My wife and I (both consenting adults) have just as much right to do what we wish to in our private bedroom as you do to have a gun.

You, like quite a few people in a position of power, think that you are all powerfull and get to make the rules.

Newsflash, you are not. You make comments that you care about the citizens. You do not, you care about the small group of citizens that think the exact same way you do.

The USA is a Republic, not a theocracy. The fact that people who advocate the murder of those they do disagree with are in positions of power is not right.

What does "Sir William Blackstone (1723-1780).
English jurist; professor of common law at Oxford; author of Commentaries on the Laws of England, which had considerable influence on the importation and adaptation of English common law in America." have to do with what the Constitution allows?

Please show me where the Constitution grants you the right to kill those you do not agree with.

I notice you refuse to provide you name or badge number in any of your posts. Why is that?

[Karsus]

A final point. Why do you accuse me of doing drugs? I have never even touched anything harder than alcohol which I last had about 5 months ago (it was a margarita).

[FF578]

I never said I would kill anyone. I said that the penalty for commiting certain crimes should be death. After the person was convicted in a fair trial.

At the founding of our nation the penalty for sodomy was death. So were the founders theocrats?

[Karsus]

You are an office of the state.

You said that the state should kill both my wife and myself for what we do in our private bedroom.

Sure looks to me like you wish us both to be killed.

[Karsus]

office should be officer
