The Convenant School mass murderer didn't use an AR. That's a Kel-Tec SUB2000 9mm parabellum pistol-caliber carbine. source video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqPAHCqLyTg

Meet the 5 Deadliest Pistol Caliber Rifles To Ever Fire a Shot Kel-Tec’s offering differs in having a specific talent: folding down for compact storage. By rotating the barrel upwards and back, the Sub-2000 essentially folds over onto itself for an overall length of just sixteen inches and a height of seven inches. Once in the compact configuration, the carbine can be secured that way with a built-in lock and key system. The explosion of interest in the modern sporting rifle, as well as the natural pace of industry innovation, has driven the firearms industry to field semi-automatic rifles in...

There is a new war on choice in this country, and the leaders are none other than the captains of the abortion industry. Their target: pregnancy care centers (PCCs). Their technique: Brand the centers with a "scarlet letter" and force them to advertise abortion. Their goal: disparage the centers and drive women to abortion clinics. It's no wonder. Pregnancy care centers - and the compassionate and nonjudgmental services they offer - undercut the abortion industry's bottom line. If women hear the truth about abortion and understand that they truly have a life-affirming choice, the abortion industry's profits will decrease. Take...

Mitt Romney was for health care before he was against it. And in 2012, he’s headed for a double-talking disaster that would make John Kerry cringe. I lived in Massachusetts in 2002, and Mitt Romney is the only Republican I’ve ever voted for. Mostly, I don’t even regret it; he was a good governor and his opponent was lousy. But since winning that election, he’s become known primarily for two things—flip-flopping, and his state-level universal health-care program. It’s a program that sets up a system that’s quite similar to what’s envisioned by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed...

Perhaps a living parable for our current times of financial crisis was acted out on January 16, 2009, when faced with a *double bird strike* of U.S. Air Flight 1549 over New York City. Pilot Chesley B. Sullenberger radioed to the area flight controller that he was putting the air craft down in the Hudson River and simply announced to the passengers to *brace for impact!* The Pasadena City College Board of Trustees could learn a lot of how to handle its impending financial crisis of an imminent shut down of state funds from the way Captain Sullenberger had to...

Even before the two hundred bullet-pierced corpses had time to stiffen, a whole crowd of “experts” showed up in all major newspapers and TV channels of three continents to tell a gullible audience that the recent murders in São Paulo and Santos, Brazil, were caused by poverty. Yes, extreme poverty bought thousands of Uzis and AK-47s and tons of ammunition, bribed hundreds of police officers and politicians, paid for the services of terrorist trainers from Spain, Cuba, Venezuela and Iran. The very leader of the rebellion, Marcos “Marcola” Camacho, admitted that the operation was prepared in close association to the...

At least 30 people, including 19 policemen, have been killed in a spate of attacks in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Armed criminals targeted officers in 55 attacks in the early hours of Saturday. Authorities blamed the First Command of the Capital (PCC) faction. The attacks may be in response to a transfer of PCC inmates, analysts say.The attacks were followed by jail revolts, with 100 hostages being taken. The state governor insisted Sao Paulo would not bow to organised crime.

SAO PAULO, Brazil - One of Brazil's most notorious gangs staged dozens of attacks on police before dawn Saturday, setting off gunbattles in three cities that killed at least 30 people, officials said. Twenty-four prison uprisings also were reported across Sao Paulo state. It was the worst assault on authority since gangsters armed with machine guns, bombs and other weapons attacked police stations in Sao Paulo city over a 10-day stretch of November 2003. That spree also was blamed on the gang First Capital Command, which is known by its Portuguese initials, PCC. The attacks that began late Friday "were...
