So I opened up a flickr account for the Friends of NRA committee that I’m on. I’m planning on using a WP plugin to display the albums on the committee website. I decided to search flickr for any other Friends of NRA photos out there, and immediately stumbled upon this guy’s emotional reaction to the shootings at Virgina Tech. Once I read his whiny rant, I couldn’t help myself. I had to respond.
You’ll have to start off by viewing his “excellent” photo of him crying, and his big long rant of sheer stupidity. Then check the first comment by lakecountry.friends.of.nra (me). I actually respond first to the ridiculous comment above mine.
Well… my response was enough to make him cry all over again, and post a photo just for me! I’m so proud.

Time to admit the ‘gun nuts’ are right
By Keith C. Burris

In the aftermath of the Petit family slayings in Cheshire, we all reached for explanations: How do human beings sink this low? How could this tragedy have been prevented? Why?
There are so many nagging questions. They all need to be asked. And maybe some old arguments need to be hashed out again.

Why not a more stringent “three strikes and you’re out” law in this state? Connecticut’s version is so weak that it’s more like “30 strikes and we’ll think about it while you strike again.”
Why not speed up the criminal trial process for repeat violent offenders? Get them off the streets. It’s been proposed many times. Most people agree it should be done. It never happens.
Can’t we better monitor the probation process?
Can’t we do a better job of predicting — figuring out which non-violent criminals are about to turn violent?
Are home alarms really effective?
How about dogs?
But somehow all of these ideas pale before the barbarity of this particular crime.
That is why one old question is worth asking again. It is this: What if the Second Amendment is for real? Is it possible that it should it be revered, just like the First Amendment?

The 71-year-old retired Marine who opened fire on two robbers at a Plantation sub shop late Wednesday, killing one and critically wounding the other, is described as a former pilot for two presidents. ”He’s in great shape,” Wesley White said of his longtime friend, John Lovell. “He doesn’t drink, he doesn’t smoke, he works out every day.”
Lovell was a man of action Wednesday night. According to Plantation police, two masked gunmen came into the Subway at 1949 N. Pine Island Rd. just after 11 p.m. There was a lone diner — Lovell, who was finishing his meal. After robbing the cashier, the two men attempted to shove Lovell into a bathroom and rob him as well. They got his money. But then Lovell pulled his handgun, opened fire, shooting one of the thieves in the head and chest and the other in the head. Read the rest of this entry »

Should people who lawfully possess firearms be able to leave them locked in their motor vehicles, on business property? Common sense would say, “yes.” All 50 states allow the transportation of firearms in motor vehicles for all lawful purposes and 48 states allow the carrying of firearms in vehicles for personal protection, in some manner.1 More than one of every four of America`s 65-80 million gun owners carries a firearm in his or her vehicle for protection.2
The U.S. Constitution and the constitutions of 46 states protect the right to arms and/or self-defense.3 And since 1986, federal law has protected the right to transport firearms in vehicles interstate.4
However, over the last few years disagreements over the right of people to leave firearms locked in their vehicles on business property have arisen. As a result, five state legislatures have passed, and during their current legislative sessions additional states are considering passing, laws to protect that right.5 Read the rest of this entry »

Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine said he will await the findings of a panel studying the Virginia Tech shootings before considering whether to allow people with gun permits to carry firearms on college campuses.
Go ahead and study real hard. Use that extremely educated brain, and see if you can find the answer. If only we could resurrect the genius Albert Einstein, maybe he could discover the answer.
The best part of this article!!!
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence contends that having armed students at Norris Hall probably would have only made matters worse by putting unarmed students in a crossfire with Cho.
I love the Brady Campaign. I agree, Sarah. Much better to have 32 dead students total, then to have a student get hit in a crossfire resulting in only 5 deaths total. Who needs Albert Einstein when this broad is offering her profound wisdom for free.

This is absolutely ridiculous.
In the April issue of the NRA Magazine, there was an advertisement encouraging dealers to purchase tables for a three-day Gun Show to be held May 11, 12th and 13th, at the Boomtown Casino, in Reno, Nevada.
I contacted the promoter of the event, and purchased two tables for the show, paid for by credit card.
In preparation for the upcoming event, I (and I am sure many other firearms dealers as well) purchased additional firearms inventory to be sold at the Boomtown Casino Gun Show. I invested several thousands of dollars in doing so.
On Wednesday, April 26, 2007, I received an email (attached) from Mr. Bert Guy advising that “In light of the recent unfortunate incident at Virginia Tech”; a “Corporate Decision” had been made not to allow the display or sale of guns at the show.

A great half hour episode on Gun Control. They’re some pretty foul mouthed dudes, but the content is good.

And More Massacre’s To Follow, Thanks To Gun Control
It has been reported that an arsenal of black, shiny, scary, semi-automatic type firearms have gone on a shooting rampage, killing 30 or more students at Virginia Tech.
ABC News has just put up a poll on wether or not guns being allowed to live are the reason. So far a bunch of extremist, murdering type conservatives think guns don’t cause crime.
I think it’s safe to say that its a good thing that HB 1572, which would have allowed handguns on college campuses was shot down by a subcommittee (no pun intended) at the beginning of last year. Had that law passed, guns would have gone on a shooting rampage of epic proportions, most likely exterminating everyone except criminals. For an unbeknownst reason, guns only target law abiding citizens who refuse to defend themselves.
Better yet, ABC brilliantly uncovers the cold hard fact, that guns cause crime, BUT guns with high capacity magazines cause ALOT of crime! (yet they offer an advertisement to “stock up” on such evil things. ABC = gun loving murderers)

Update! It appears they are looking for an asian man who might have been in cahoots with the guns going on the rampage. Alert ABC to run a poll asking if we need more asian control.

At least thats what any anti-gun liberal will tell you when arguing the case that banning guns doesn’t stop gun crime. Take this interesting case, for example. A cute wee little limey girl by the tender age of 14 has been convicted of dealing machine guns such as Mac 10’s (Spray and Pray, baby!) to London gangsters.
A girl of 14 has been charged with conspiring to supply machineguns to London crime gangs.
The girl, who cannot be named because of her age, was one of four people arrested by detectives from Operation Trident which specializes in black on black gun crime.
She is being held in juvenile custody today.
The arrests came after a weekend of gun violence across London in which two men were shot dead and four others were injured.
One man was shot in the face at close range in Harlesden and another died after a shoot-out at an illegal gambling club frequented by Albanians in Park Royal.
A third man, described as an innocent passer-by, is critically ill after another nightclub shooting.
The 14-year-old, from Colindale, was charged along with two youths and a 31-year-old woman.
She is accused of conspiring to supply two revolvers and two machineguns - including a Mach 10 known as “spray and pray” which is a favorite weapon of Yardiestyle gangsters.
The girl is also accused of three charges of possession of prohibited weapons and three counts of possessing ammunition.
So I would like to hear more from our leftist anti-gun friends on how the crime rate is so much lower in England, because only the bad guys have guns?
